Before I tell my story, I must state I am just giving my observations, and am in no way devoted to any particular products.
I have a 550+ gram almost 2 year old beardie named Sputin. For the longest time he was a fineky eater, and at times seemed lethargic or moody. Not always, but he would go through little phases of activity and inactivity for weeks on end.
A few months ago I was at a reptile store and the main owner who breeds tons of snakes and reptiles showed me the products by Repashy. I was very skeptical, expecially due to the fancy advertising. I had used RepCal products since I had gotten Sputin, but decided to do some research. After reading that Repashy had bascially revolutionized Crested Gecko feeding, I gave them a whirl.
Perhaps he was coming into his own for other reason, but since I began using them I have seen dramatic improvements in many ways:
1) His appetite has skyrocketed - now he digs into his salad in earnest and seems to like a much wider variety of veggies and fruits. What before was a power struggle has now turned into a great pleasure. Also, I have not seen a huge weight gain, so his eating more does not seem to have made him any "fatter".
2) His activity level has dramatically improved - no days or weeks with lethargy and laying around, he now runs about much more, and when out of the cage he moves about the apartment much more.
3) He has a much better attitude - he just seems happier, more willing to come over to me to leave his enclousre, can a beardie smile? LOL
4) His colors really have begun to shine through - the label says they put extra caratenoids in the mixes, and wow what a huge effect.
One of my favorite parts is that you do not need to figure out which days to use them, they are designed to be used in small amounts every time you feed, so no more of two days of calcium, which day is vitamins, etc.
Again, I just wanted to post this because of how effective they seem to be. Maybe Sputin was just ready to come into his own, but it seems like more than concidence that when I switched products, things changed so much.
I use the Calcium Plus on insects (which is Calcium and vitamins all in one), SuperVeggie lightly on his salads, and SuperLoad to gutload all his feeders.
Has anyone else used these products? If so, did you have good or bad results?
Thanks for your replies!!
