It is also bad to fool the plant, triggering it's trap to close. It forces the pant to act as if something is inside and with nothing in the trap it can harm it's self. I owned quit a few in my life and lost many due to others sticking fingers in the traps repeatedly forcing the plant to starve.
You should also never feed the plant mammal meat, cooked or not, it's not ment to eat it and will actually poison it. I too have owned and lost many before I found out why.
