Most of my terrestrial Utrics grow quickly enough that I don't
bother with trying to culture infusoria, microworms, etc. for them. I have
enough a fungus gnat population that I think the larvae are adequately
feeding the Utrics.
I do flood my terrestrial Utrics, especially some of the shy
flowerers, every few months, as it seems to encourage flooding once the
water level drops. Never noticed any ill effects from doing this.
Good luck!
Chris
