Repashy Superpig versus Necton repcolour.

[Chinadog]

Has anyone tried dusting food with Repashy Superpig? I've tried it with Necton repcolour, but it's impossible to get my young newts to eat it. Even on their favourite foods, they take one taste and that's it, they just spit it back out. I was wondering if the Repashy stuff was any more palatable, or is there another way to get them to eat it?

Rather than dusting you should gut load the crickets with it. I think Jay mixes Superpig with cooking oil to make a paste and feeds it to the crickets. I've not tried it myself.

If you want to colour up animals I can recommend Hikari cichild pellets. They work better than Hikari's sinking carnivore pellets and come in 4 sizes. They float but you can offer them on a thin wire or toothpick. Newts seem to like them.

I keep meaning to post a comparison image of an N.kaiseri that's been fed them and one that hasn't.

Thanks for the reply, That's good to know about the cichild pellets, I already buy tons of them for my Clarias catfish. I don't have a link but I'm sure there either is or was a sinking version of them available as well.
