Itty bitty baby venus fly traps!

Hi, all - my VFT has grown both a tall flower stalk (which I just clipped and planted next to the main plant, per advice from the interwebs) and tons of tiny sprouts with baby traps on them! General consensus seems to be that these are normal/good, but no clear answer as to whether I should leave them attached to the main plant or remove and propagate separately. Thoughts? #venusflytrap
I usually leave the babies unless I want a new plant or a gift.
Sorry, I don't see any baby flytraps in that picture. Venus flytrap seeds from the ripe pods after the blooms are fertilized are a bit bigger than poppy seeds. The babies, if they do germinate, look mini fly traps that are close to the soil.
