I cut the ones off of mine that were turning black and it helped with the others to give them more energy.

When i used to have mine, i think it is just hard for them to catch things as much which maybe makes them go black? i do want a venus fly trap, i just feel like they won’t eat enough

I think it depends on when you got yours. Around this time they start going black during dormancy bc of the colder weather.

I know this sounds odd, but go get some beta fish food and make a paste with water. You can put drops of this in any carnivorous plant as a food of sorts to make up what they're not catching if you have a clean environment with no bugs around 🫡 hope this helps

No matter what I do I always have fruit flies lol. I moved them outside though, they needed a lot more sun than I originally thought.

I also have carnivorous plant food that is liquid. I put drops of that in the water dish a few times a month.
