Repashy Grub Pie | Gel Food for Axolotls & Reptiles - 85g
The easy backup to live worms. Repashy Grub Pie is a gel food made from 75% black soldier fly larvae, and a favourite with axolotl keepers for the days when live food isn't to hand. Mix it with hot water, let it set, cut it into bite-sized cubes, and you've got a fortnight of feeds sitting in the fridge.
Feeding Grub Pie to your axolotl
- Cut it small: pieces no wider than the gap between your axolotl's eyes.
- Feed from tweezers: axolotls hunt by movement, so wiggle each piece in front of them until they take it.
- Clear what's left: lift out anything uneaten after half an hour so it doesn't foul the water.
- Mix it up: Repashy recommend it as part of a varied diet, so pair it with live Dendrobaena worms rather than relying on it alone.
Not sure how much or how often? Our axolotl feeding guide covers Grub Pie in detail.

Directions
Bring water to the boil (stove, kettle or microwave). Pour into a bowl and stir in the powder immediately, one part powder to two to three parts water. Let cool, or pour straight into a mould while warm. Gel sets at room temperature. Cut into pieces or strips to feed.
Once made, treat as fresh food. Seal and store in the fridge for up to two weeks, or freeze. Can also be fed as a slurry or paste.
