Hi Karin, welcome to the list! The best way to feed your plants is to
stick them outside so they can feed themselves. If that is not an
option, you can catch insects yourself and feed your plants. Try to use
live insects if you can. The struggles of the living insect stimulate
capture/digestion in many CP species. Also, don't overfeed your plants.
If you're unfamiliar with what your plants want, start with very small
insects and work your way up to larger ones if they seem happy.

Hope this helps,
Philip
