If the VFT was grown for human purposes such as eating then no it would not be vegan, as they require a small but steady stream of bugs to grow. Though if you found a feed alternative like a nutrient pill then I guess it could be vegan. As for a VFT found in the wild then yes it would be vegan, anything it has consumed in the past wasn't done so for your sake.

I think you made a typo in your first sentence. I think you meant to say it's non-vegan in that scenario.

Thanks for letting me know, fixed.
