Should try this with a pitcher plant next they may yield a better result I think they eat smaller animals if they get trapped in their pitcher.

[@canabuscits]

what if you feed it protein powder it might like that and shouldn't mold

[@robertheinrich2994]

if flytraps were meant to eat pork or beef, they would grow traps large enough to catch those animals. ;-)

@@daxconnell7661 it's essentially the same thing with cats that like tuna. in nature, they did not evolve to catch a tuna. way to different habitats. same with other brands of catfood: beef, sheep, deer... is there a regular housecat that will catch one of those animals ;-)

[@OneWingedShark]

The biggest problem is the portion-sizes: you need to have the meat be "about the weight of a fly".

[@BaeronBubba]

Part of the rot problem could be the sheer mass of the chunks fed to the plant. If a trap can only make enough enzyme to digest a fly, then my GUESS is that anything more than that is guaranteed to rot because it can't digest fast enough.

[@donivanstryker1340]

The main problem are the preservatives that are added to human food. The chemical reaction ends up killing the trap. Just like feeding your blood to the cross tooth. What happened there is that you blood is iron rich and iron one of the minerals that actually increase your water ppm.

[@theflytrapgardenfilms]

Good to see you here Mr Stryker! As always, thank you for your insight. You always give such great information! That makes alot of sense. What was most confusing to me when I thought about this, is that the pork was the most processed food item as it was a pork sausage and the others were their raw versions. So maybe because it was more processed, it actually had less nutrition and therefore didn't cause burn?

[@donivanstryker1340]

@@theflytrapgardenfilms Well here in the US pork sausage is stuffed inside actual intestine so it is natural and processed as well. Now I am not an expert at this but perhaps because of the different type of animal either the meat is processed more or possibly processed with different chemicals which would in my mind account for why all the meats had different reactions.

[@theflytrapgardenfilms]

Oh wow that's different to here, I think sausage is stuffed in an artificial type of casing but I could be wrong. But it's very interesting how the different types of meats could be processed differently, which led to the results we found

He may have been accounting for protein content. Insects have 4 times the protein as beef of the same weight.

[@nontrashfire2]

@@Michael-bn1oi There should have been more tests. It's easy to speak with hindsight. The thought could have been that the volume of enzymes to break down the protein would be the same. It's stupid to assume also

[@Jqwebu]

I hate it when my traps molds, and browns. One time I fed my Venus flytrap a pill bug and it was so big that the trap started dripping and started to mold. Also this is a cool and icky experiment. I remember wanting to know this before.

[@borislovric9008]

😅

[@KingLeek86]

I remember a long time ago I got a Venus Flytrap kit from Lowes. The funny thing is that if you were to keep it inside, the instructions actually recommended putting a tiny amount of raw hamburger in the traps (a very small amount the size of a pearled pinhead). The plant flourished for a long time.

[@theflytrapgardenfilms]

Very interesting!

Oh thank god, i was about to feed my venus fly trap that i totally own,a Thanksgiving turkey. Thank you youtube recommendations.

[@Kisai_Yuki]

I think the main problem is the size of the meat samples. I feel the rest is pretty valid. Raw Fish (sushi is always frozen first to prevent parasites from developing) and Beef are things people can eat and not get sick from. Raw pork and Chicken, absolutely not (and in fact "American" meat tends to be heavily contaminated which is why it needs to be cooked, where as meat butchered in Japan with the same experiment might have different results.) I'd also theorize that the reason none of the cooked foods worked (except the pork) was simply that the plant can't digest a cooked protein, and the pork might have been small enough for the plant to deal with.

[@jayhill2193]

I will contest you on your claim that raw pork is a no go. I am German and very much love my Mettbrötchen with Mett being of course raw pork. Also chicken sushi is a specialty in Japan, but the safety standards as you can imagine have to be rigurous for that to happen and I wouldn't try it,

Looks to me as if you put far bigger pieces in than the plants can break down before the meat rots. I used to feed mine very small pieces of meat, far smaller than what you gave them, and while they did stay closed longer, eventually they opened again, without problem. try again with a far smaller piece, less than a quarter of what I saw.

I was worried opening any of these traps was gonna spawn a similar creature to the one from the Cowboy Bebop episode Toys in the Attic. Considering they've been know to eat small mammals (and poop from larger ones), I wonder if pitcher plants would do better.

[@freedomfighter_7954]

Might be morbit but what about human 😅

[@ghost_ship_supreme]

They actually don’t eat much bugs, let alone meat. Once you realize that, you can keep them alive much longer. IIRC They can only close something like 3 times before they die

[@lolmanmagee2785]

Why would you feed it at all? It can hunt flys for itself just fine.

[@nonethelessK]

But makes you think that every life form has its own diet. And there is subtle thought in a word "rottin" with health' for every individual. Our diets should be simple what body needs most. For humans fiber and protein, healthy fat and complex carbohydrates (not simple sugars). Excess of different substances, just makes your body rot. Even if it has some resistance for awhile.

[@oluskloc]

I think "meat" must move inside trap to stimulate it, food presetvants dont go well wirh plants and also i think (I'm not sure) bugs usually dry out when they die instead of rotting. How about giving trap a fly larva?

[@theflytrapgardenfilms]

Maggots usually kill off the traps (I used to feed them to young traps but stopped now lol). However the food doesnt need to move for a very long time to stimulate digestion, just until about the sealing process starts

[@quantumcat7673]

Do they recognize you? Be careful not to get bitten!

[@HartmutRick]

But none of the plants died, did they? I'm not convinced that there is a fundamental difference between flies and chicken/pork/fish etc. Provided that the trap properly closes (which might not happen for a piece of meat, so you need to simulate movement), it should all work just the same. Just keep in mind that a fly contains only tiny amounts of meat. The portions that you served are much much larger than a fly, probably equivalent to dozens of flies at the same time. No wonder the plant is struggling to digest all in one bite.

[@NahualliUoxtitla]

You're not convinced there's a fundamental difference between a fly and chicken/pork? Jesus...

[@HartmutRick]

@@NahualliUoxtitla Ok, well... 😀 So, I acknowledge that there are things that a chicken can do and a fly cannot, and vice versa. While they're alive, that is. What I really wanted to say, when it comes to their meat getting digested by a venus flytrap, they're chemically similar enough that it won't notice the difference. My suspicion is that the apparent difference shown in the video is solely due to the different quantities served rather than the exact type of meat.

[@HartmutRick]

Is it wet enough? They are swamp plants, make sure there is always water in the saucer. The only method to kill them that I know of is to let them dry. I've had mine for ~40 years, never had any problems. Just keep them as bright as possible and as wet as possible. Temperature isn't critical, mine have survived -10 through +50 C. I plant them in pure peat without fertilizer. Lack of food will not kill them, they just don't grow very big.
