I transferred my Venus fly trap to a new pot, a few hours later I noticed the leaves closed up and it got a little droopy. Any suggestions?

Mine did that when I transplanted it. They will reopen in a few days. Just leave it be. Do NOT feed it if you have it outside. It will eat enough on its own. If it's in the house, move it to the brightest area you have. It prefers being outside. Morning sun and afternoon shade. Especially if you are in zone 10a.

I’m no expert on carnivorous plants, but it is normal that plants feel transplant shock. So that might just be it. Give it time to recover and treat it well. Hope it gets better!
