- Vitamin-fortified formula
- Antibiotic free
Repashy SuperHorn is a hornworm gutload diet for Manduca sexta larvae raised as feeders. This gel premix is high in calcium, fortified with vitamins, and antibiotic free, with the specific purpose of maximizing the nutritional value of hornworms before they are fed to animals. It is made for maintaining feeder larvae rather than for direct feeding to reptiles or amphibians.
To prepare Repashy SuperHorn, mix one part powder with 2-2.5 parts water and heat until the mixture begins to boil, or stir the powder into water that has just been boiled. Let it cool until firm, then use it as a slab, shred it, or cut it into cubes. Treat unused prepared gel as fresh food; it can be stored vented in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. Offer ad libitum.
Directions
Mix one part powder into 2-2.5 parts water and stir until blended. Microwave until it starts to boil, remove and stir. Alternatively, bring water to a boil on stove, remove from heat, and stir in powder. Let container cool, or immediately pour into a storage container or mold, and let sit at room temp until firm. The finished gel can be cut into cubes, shredded, or used as a whole slab. Whatever is not used immediately should be treated as fresh food. It can be stored vented in refrigerator for up to three weeks. Do NOT use more than three parts water or excessive condensation can occur if used in culture cups. Offer ad libitum.
Notes
Do not use more than three parts water, or excessive condensation can occur in culture cups.
