Repashy Grub Pie and Leopard Bite are delicious gecko-friendly treats you can make similar to jello, eventually creating dense smelly gels which you cut into bug-sized pieces before placing in the refrigerator to store. Both treats provide essential supplements to New Caledonian and Leopard Geckos diets.
When gecko feeds stop within 24 hours of being transferred into their new cage or house move, it may be time for them to see a vet. Most often this stress-related issue can be solved simply and quickly.

Product Description
Leopard geckos are easy-care reptiles that are suitable for beginner and expert enthusiasts alike. Their wide variety of behaviors is entertaining to watch, including peeps, clicks and chirping sounds. Geckos may use their tails as another form of communication: slow shaking indicates fear while rapid flicking indicates excitement (such as during hunting or mating).
Leopard Geckos are terrestrial animals, requiring a shallow substrate with dry areas for basking. We advise providing your Leopard Gecko with the most naturalistic environment with pre-washed, dust-free play sand and organic topsoil mixed together for their enclosure.
Repashy Calcium Plus provides an all-in-one calcium supplement designed to balance calcium to phosphorus ratio while also including vitamins, trace minerals and chelated amino acids for maximum absorption. This is especially important for non-breeding pet geckos who don’t receive UVB light exposure as their bodies will require vitamin D3 from food sources in order to metabolize calcium efficiently.
Ingredients
Repashy Superfoods provide high-quality, palatable diets for various species of reptiles and amphibians. Their gel base helps ensure water-soluble vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients can be more easily absorbed in the digestive tract than with traditional flake or pellet diets.
This food product has been specifically formulated to be an all-inclusive food source and replace the need for live insects in many omnivorous species’ diets, such as leopard geckos. It can be fed either slurry- or paste-fed, or used as gravy/topper topping on dry kibble diets.
This food features 75% black soldier fly larvae (calci-worms), along with banana, figs, kale, rosehips, hibiscus flower petals, marigold flowers, watermelons, brewers yeast, ground flaxseed, whey protein stabilized rice bran and coconut meal as ingredients. Made in the US for safe consumption by leopard geckos as well as bearded dragons, blue-tongue skinks and other insectivorous reptiles alike!
Nutritional Values
Leopard geckos are insectivores, meaning they primarily feed on insects in their environment and avoid eating vegetables or fruit in the wild.
Pet owners should feed their geckos commercially available insects that have not been exposed to pesticides and wild insects which may contain parasites that can lead to digestive and neurological issues in geckos.
Pet parents should regularly dust their geckos’ insects with a high-quality calcium supplement that offers Vitamin D3 and other vital nutrients, preferably using a powder that can be mixed with their insect food and then placed in a jar or tin can with shake action until all insects have been covered in dust – this will be less messy than using a dusting tool and may provide less dust to dust off later. Frequency will depend on their age and species – those needing an increased dosage can be fed every other day; those that require higher amounts can even require daily dosings!
Storage
Repashy leopard gecko food stands out from other store-bought prey animals by being specially tailored to provide your lizard with all of its nutritional needs. All ingredients come packaged and ready to feed right from the bag, plus you can easily customize your meal further by including fresh greens or special treats to make meal time more exciting for them!
Your lizard needs an adequate supply of calcium and phosphorus, just as geckos do in nature by licking mineral deposits or salt deposits to gain this essential mineral. In terrarium settings, providing your lizard with high quality calcium powder and multivitamin supplements like Zoomed’s ReptiVite which contains calcium, multivitamins, and vitamin D3 is recommended as a healthy diet supplement option.
Before feeding insects to your lizard, ensure they are covered in the appropriate nutrient powders. Insects should be dusted with phosphate-free calcium powder prior to being given as treats while mealworms should be dusted every two or three feedings with this same powder.
