Repashy Grassland Grazer

Description Expires:  September 2027 or later Designed for True Herbivores That Need Minimal Protein and Maximum Fiber Repashy Grassland Grazer is one of the few gel foods specifically formulated for strict herbivore species that thrive on a diet of grasses, leaves, flowers, and vegetables. With just 15% protein and up to 30% fiber, this formula closely replicates the natural grazing diet of species that would spend their days consuming large quantities of low nutrition plant matter in the wild. Both land and aquatic herbivores can benefit from this formula, making it a genuinely versatile food for the multi species household. Who Are They For? Grassland Grazer is an excellent choice for tortoises of all species, uromastyx, aquatic turtles, Mbuna cichlids, silver dollars, goldfish, and any other strict herbivore species that requires a low protein, high fiber diet. For Mbuna keepers in particular this formula is worth noting as it provides the kind of plant based nutrition these fish evolved to consume, without the animal proteins that can contribute to digestive issues. It can be fed exclusively as a complete diet or used in rotation with fresh vegetables for additional variety. A Note on the Ingredients The ingredient list reads like a garden and meadow combined. Dandelion powder, nopal cactus powder, ground grass, alfalfa, hibiscus flower, calendula, marigold, rosehips, and seaweed form the foundation of this formula, delivering the diverse range of plant based nutrients that grazing herbivores need. The inclusion of nopal cactus is particularly notable as it is a natural and important food source for many tortoise and uromastyx species in the wild. Two Ways to Serve As a Gel: The standard preparation method. Mix powder with water, allow to set, then cut into cubes, shred, or serve as a whole slab. Treat the finished gel as fresh food and store sealed in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to six months. As a Jerky: Prepare the gel as normal, pour into a deep container, slice into quarter inch thick pieces, and dry completely in an oven or dehydrator at 150 degrees F for 8 to 12 hours. How to Prepare the Gel Ratio is one part powder to three parts water, using 1/4 cup powder to 3/4 cup water as a starting point. Adjust water quantity to achieve your preferred firmness. Microwave method: Measure water into a heat safe container. Heat until water begins to boil. Add powder and mix well. Let sit at room temperature until gelled, approximately 2 hours. Stovetop method: Bring water to a boil in a pot. Remove from heat. Add powder and mix well. Immediately pour into a storage container or mold and let sit at room temperature until firm. Storage Store unused powder at room temperature in a cool dry location away from moisture. Refrigerate any prepared gel and use within two weeks, or freeze for up to six months.
