Bug Burger

Repashy Bug Burger – Complete Feeder Insect Diet (Isopod Adapted Use)

Repashy Bug Burger is a calcium-fortified, nutrient-balanced gel premix originally designed as a complete diet for feeder insects such as crickets and roaches. It provides both food and hydration in one formula — making it an excellent, controlled supplement for isopods and other detritivores that benefit from additional protein and trace nutrients.

Its blend of rice bran, plant meals, seaweed, and natural carotenoids makes it an ideal occasional boost for isopod colonies, especially breeding groups or species that require a little extra protein support.

Why It’s Used for Isopods

Provides complete, balanced nutrition in a single gel form

Supplies essential protein, fats, and trace minerals often lacking in wood-based diets

Hydrates while feeding — useful in dry or high-ventilation setups

Particularly beneficial for fast-breeding species like Porcellio and Armadillidium
