Why do Grimm die in captivity?

They grow in numbers and power when near negative energy. They definitely consume it in some way. But if you manage to capture it you would celebrate, right? Making the Grimm weaker. That's why they die. They starve. Port brought Edgar to class and the kids were scared. The Grimm in the Vale siege are surrounded by terror. There is no reason for them to get weak. But if you put them in a place to experiment on them surrounded by people celebrating on a job well done, then of course they'll starve.

So if I created a lab to experiment on Grimm I would put insane, depressed or people with anger management in the next room. That would keep the monster well fed while we try to find out what the hell they are.

Oh and an idea that I got from watching a video that one time: If negative energy makes Grimm stronger, why don't they just make parties all the time, or drug people? You wouldn't need a giant wall, just a 24/7 party.
