Our Insect Based (75%) Meal Replacement Gel for Insectivorous Species of Reptiles and Amphibians. Great for Bearded Dragons, Skinks, Dwarf Monitors, Leopard Gecko, Fat tail Geckos, Salamanders and more. Insects are raised in the USA on high quality ingredients!
It is with great excitement and anticipation that Repashy launches “Grub Pie”, a new product in the Repashy line of gel food premixes. Repashy Grub Pie is a dietary formula designed for insect-eating animals of all kinds. We believe that this revolutionary commercial diet will prove to be a “game changer” in the way we raise, breed, and keep reptiles, amphibians, and other insect-eating species.
Repashy Grub Pie features over 75% cold-pressed Black Soldier Fly Larvae Meal (BSFL) with a smell and flavor that incites an almost instinctual feeding response from all kinds of insect-eating animals. Even species that require moving prey and show little interest in freeze-dried insects or pelleted foods currently on the market, have been irresistibly attracted to the smell and taste of Repashy Grub Pie on the first offering. Some individuals of certain species may require “teasing” or training in the first instance to achieve a feeding response and get them to recognize it as a food source. Bearded dragons, leopard geckos, all skinks, fat tail geckos, dwarf monitors, day geckos, giant geckos, turtles of all kinds, and aquatic amphibians typically find Repashy Grub Pie irresistible.
Nutritionally speaking, Repashy Grub Pie consists of nearly 80% cold-pressed black soldier fly larvae. Cold-pressing removes about half the fat content without the high temperatures and chemical exposure of other processes that can denature proteins and degrade nutrients. This process lowers the fat content of soldier fly larvae to a more ideal 12%, which in turn increases the protein values to over 55%. The meal also contains a nearly perfect 2:1 calcium to phosphorous ratio. It takes over 1,000 BSFL to make one ounce of Repashy Grub Pie, and one kilo of Repashy Grub Pie contains 35,000 BSFL, whichhas a superior nutritional density than 50,000 mealworms!
Repashy Grub Pie has been formulated to be a complete diet, replacing the need for live insects in the diet of omnivores and insectivores. Many insectivores in captivity are raised on a single food source of either crickets, or mealworms (i.e. leopard geckos). While it has been proven that an exclusive diet of supplemented mealworms provides all the necessary nutrition for good health and breeding, we currently recommend that Repashy Grub Pie be fed as part of a balanced diet and not exclusively. Although we have been doing extensive trials over the last two years with great success (even when fed exclusively), it will take more time and research to assert with 100% confidence that Repashy Grub Pie provides a complete diet for insectivores, as an exclusive food source. With further internal trials, and the feedback of Zoos and advanced breeders/hobbyists around the world, we expect that we will soon be able to make this claim with confidence.
We truly believe that Repashy Grub Pie is a revolutionary product that will change the way a wide range of insect-eating animals, such as reptiles and amphibians are kept and fed in the future. Repashy Grub Pie can be fed as a slurry, paste, or a gel. It can also be mixed into existing gecko diets, or be used as a Gravy / Topper on dry kibble diets. Not only is it suitable for Reptiles and Amphibians, but also a great diet for Insectivorous Mammals and Fish, which will soon have their own labeled version. The gel base also allows for the introduction of medications when treatment for parasites or other health problems are required.
Cheers, Allen Repashy

Our new “Grubs ‘N’ Fruit” is an ultra-premium complete diet that is designed to be an alternative to our regular Crested Gecko MRP formula. It features 50% real dried fruit, and 30% insect protein powder. It can be used in rotation with, or be mixed with, our Crested Gecko MRP to provide a more varied diet. This new formula has shown to be particularly attractive to the more carnivorous gecko species such as Giant Geckos (R. leachianus) and Gargoyle Geckos (R. auriculatus). It also gets a great feeding response from juveniles of other gecko species that are more insectivorous as young, such as Crested Geckos (C. ciliatus).
We have long recognized the potential of using insect meal/protein powder as an ingredient, but to date, the only available commercial sources have been from China and other parts of Asia. Our quality standards at Repashy have forced us to reject these sources for fear of these insects being raised on agricultural/industrial waste and their potential to become vectors for the transmission of toxins to animals which they are fed to. Also, because of the high fat content of insect meals, they are prone to rancidity and require defatting to increase stability. The industrial way to do this typically uses chemical processes such as hexane extraction. To solve these problems, we have contracted to have insects grown for us right here in the USA, on a diet specified by us, and defatted using our own proprietary cold pressing process. This produces a stable “insect protein powder” that is approximately 60% protein and 10% fat.
The insects we have chosen to use are Hermetia illucens, or the Black Soldier Fly Larvae, which are marketed under several brand names such as Phoenix Worms, and Calci-Worms. Our history with this insect species goes to its root in the reptile hobby. Some ten years ago, Allen Repashy was actually responsible for the introduction of the original “Phoenix Worm” into the Reptile trade as a live food item through his collaborative efforts with Dr. Craig Sheppard. These larvae have proven to initiate a great feeding response and have a very high nutritional value when compared to other insects. They are quite high in Calcium, and our protein powder test results have shown that they are approximately 2% Calcium and 1% Phosphorous. A perfect balance!
With the introduction of these larvae into the hobby as a feeder insect, we immediately looked into the idea of using them as a source of insect meal, but at the time, production costs, and high demand for the more expensive live insects, prohibited this from becoming a reality. Recently though, with lots of research and development, the growing process has been refined to the point that developing a meal has become potentially economical. It is still a VERY expensive product when compared to other protein ingredients, but we feel that there are enough discerning customers out there now that are willing to purchase an ultra-premium product, that we could finally launch the formula.
Grubs ‘N’ Fruit will make a great addition to our line of Gecko Diets. It is not designed to replace our Crested Gecko MRP, but rather to compliment it. Certain species, or individual animals, may prefer it over the standard formula. Grubs ‘N’ Fruit adds variety to the available food options, and provides the most natural source available of proteins, fats, chitin, and other essential nutrients for insect loving species. This new formula marks the introduction of our Insect Protein Powder into the Repashy line. We are currently developing, and will soon introduce, several other food products that feature this novel ingredient.

EarthPro-A is a blend of natural, full-spectrum minerals and vitamins designed to be used at almost every feed and for all species. EarthPro-A is one of our ‘flagship’ products and represents a revolution in the correct feeding for exotic pets.
We believe that all of the secrets of great captive care are hidden in the wild animal. As such we take our inspiration from wild-like food sources and feeding behaviour. We seek to mimic these processes in a safe and effective way so that our animals can truly thrive in captivity, just as they would in the wild. To achieve this accurately, we use as many ingredients as possible that are found in these wild environments in our foods and supplements.
Our ‘everyday use’ mineral and vitamin supplement powder, utilises the very best in scientific thought and ingredient sourcing. Rather than using a lab based approximation of the minerals that are found in the earth we use a naturally mined, ‘full-spectrum’ mineral clay.
To this we add high-grade Calcium for optimum bone health plus Bee Pollen, B vitamins, broad-spectrum Amino acids and Carotenoid-rich plants to help your pets thrive. Being clay-based, this powder also offers greater levels of adhesion to both plants and insects, ensuring less waste and higher levels of ingestion.
Our flagship supplement powder uses all natural ingredients to help provide for the exact needs of captive animals in a safe and effective way. It contains a potent natural full spectrum carotenoid, helping to cater for the natural Vitamin A cycle and to increase natural coloration. This provides at least 100 IU/kg of pro-vitamin A, the water-soluble natural source of vitamin A for animals that cannot be overdosed.
EP-A is a nutrient packed powder that can be used with any species, offering total peace of mind with high levels of bioavailable nutrition.

EarthPro-CalciumPro-Mg is a revolutionary new blend of finely ground, high grade, Calcium and essential Magnesium. The correct provision of Magnesium is not only vital to the ‘calcium, Phosphorous and D3’ cycle but it is also responsible for maintaining and regulating positive neurological and muscular health.
EarthPro-CalciumPro-Mg has been developed to be used safely in place of sole sources of Calcium. By changing your feeding cycle to include a balanced inclusion of magnesium you will help to ensure strong, firm bones, thus helping in our fight to ‘Eliminate MBD’.
Magnesium is stored within the bones and helps to regulate healthy Calcium storage. It also works as a critical agent with biological enzymes to help regulate nerve and muscle function, protein synthesis, blood pressure, blood glucose levels and plays a very useful role within the digestive system.
Magnesium is essential to life and up until now it has been largely missing from the dietary provision of many captive exotics. It is time to change the way we feed our pets.

Essential Calcium in a fine grade, easy to digest and assimilate natural calcium powder.
A fine grade and easy to digest and assimilate natural calcium powder. Aid strong bones and organ function.
Can be used alongside Arcadia Reptile EarthPro range.
All Natural Ingredients.
Made in Britain.
EarthPro-Ca is a high-quality, finely ground plain Calcium powder that can be used alongside the rest of the EarthPro range to help boost Calcium levels day to day.
Calcium is stored in an animal’s bones and is also released into the animal’s bloodstream for muscle function.
It has been known that calcium is essential for reptiles since we began keeping them as pets. In fact it is an indispensable tool in reptile keeping. A lack of supply or uptake of calcium, as we know, leads to a serious and mostly irreversible condition known as metabolic bone disease. This is where an animal loses the calcium content from its bones as the body desperately tries to find reserves from within its own body.
This manifests itself in ‘bendy bones’ – most often noticeable in the long bones of the legs or the jaw. In advanced cases, the animal becomes very weak due to impaired muscle function and may be unable to stand.
However, supplying calcium is only one part of the intricate web of reptile nutrition. In order for an animal to be able to use calcium at all, it must have access to the correct nutrients from its food and also its environment. This means that reptiles, amphibians and in fact many animals, need to have access to a source of UV lighting in order for its body to be able to obtain vitamin D3.
