How do you keep them alive?

Lots of stress  
They need quite a bit of water (water from the bottom and let the plant soak it all up) they need to be fed (I am currently experimenting with mealworm but I hear blood worms work aswell or things that have recently died) it has to be about 1 third of the trap (you can feed mabye two of them in 1 months I believe) though if it dead you have to help them digest it a bit (still figuring that part out myself) now take this info with a grain of salt I have only had plants in general for about one week now

Terrarium to increase humidity, carnivorous soil, distilled/rain water only, leave them outside!
