Spiders. Flytraps love 'em.

Small slugs. These digest really well--quick turnaround, no mess in the trap afterward.

The big plus to both animals is that they will seek the trap out--no need to feed the plant yourself. They practically force their way in and shut the trap behind them!

Good things to feed to a VFT:
Flys
Ants
Caterpillar

that's pretty much it because my plants usually catches only flies (about 95% of the time) becuase I let my plant catch their own meals.
 
SLUGS ARE VERY GOOD FOR YOUR CP'S They digest very quickly healthy and they don't rot the leaves HHHMMMMM GOOD SAYS MY CP WHEN I FEED IT SLUGS
 
I found some great food today! The little larvae that live in cuckoo spit. They have been burrowing into my sunflowers but now all my Green Dragons are eating
