I just noticed that i`ve bruised some of the openings ( more for the new pitchers ) when i fed my psittacina & it`s quite bad looking `bruises`...would ask anyone trying to exercise caution and be more gentle when poking in the pipette, unlike me.
also only drip in liquid & not the worm itself to prevent rotting of the pitcher.

How bout if we use picagari (i dont think i spelled this right) needles and squirt the liquid inside? That way, it doesn't matter how big is the opening... But of course we have to practise yoga ler... To enhance the stability of the hands.... ehehehe |

picagari = syringe ?
their needles = very sharp.
Very Sharp = danger for our dear psittacina.
Must have doctor`s hand stability, like Dr Burke from Grey`s Anatomy.

just an update : i noticed that some of my psittacina pitchers which i fed have rotted away. The rest are fine & flourishing. This did not happen for bujangteruna`s.
Assumption :
-the bruisings i inflicted on the pitchers while feeding them were deeper than i thot
-overfeeding ( although bujang`s was also fed using the same schedule , fortnightly )
-different growing conditions ( his is sunnier )
-mine was `starved` for so long it just couldn`t take the avalanche of nutrients suddenly
I might try again using more diluted bloodworm `juice` or feed only once a month
