Elephant Ears, sundews, butterworts, and rabbit's ears

I am a very miscellaneous gardener. I found some rabbit's ears (the plant) growing, and transplanted them. I don't really need help on those, but my sundew won't eat and neither will my butterwort and my butterwort's soil is collapsing conically... I wonder if it's those small, annoying, strange bugs? Yeah, some strange bugs were found in the soil. Are they harmful? They're very small, only about one to one half of a millemeter long. They are white, oval- shaped, creepy, and if I didn't know about size, I'd say they were termites! Of course termites usually go for wood... Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew about them. I'd also like some tips on how to grow Mammoth Elephant Ears. Not mammoth as in 'huge' but mammoth as in 'mammoth and philodendron'.

You mean they won't react to insects placed on the leaves? Have they perhaps been over-fed? They only consume very small numbers of insects, and too many will definitely harm them (think of them as suffering too easily from obesity problems ;-)

 

It's not that, I'm sure. The Sundew is perfectly fine, though I'm not so sure about the Butterwort. It wouldn't eat when I got it, and neither would the Sundew, but the Sundew produced lots of flowers, and the Butterwort just shrank.
