I was wondering if any one uses rep-cal Adult bearded dragon food, if so what do you think of it.

I use it, and i LOVE it.

I have a pair of adults that it has been fed to since they were babies. The breeder i bought mine off of swears by food pellets!!! I also give them to my hatchlings.

Yep,l use it. Rep-Cal is the ONLY dry food I will use :)

But, make sure you wet it thoroughly first ( I let mine stand in water untill the pellet is wet throughout with no hard parts ). The dry pellets can cause complications with dehydration.

Yeah, smells pretty good too, almost good enough for me to eat. It states on the packet that it's a complete diet but I use it as a suplement to their normal food.

I wouldn't use it as a primary diet, but just sorta as something that they can snack on throughout the day. I agree about wetting the pellets, although, I soak mine in apple juice (no sugar added) for extra hydration.

Its kinda funny... mine love it but only the green ones and sometimes the red ones. The brown ones are completly ignored. I never wet it though... Didn't know that it could cause dehydration.

Just got my guy, pellets sounds like an excellent idea compared to having tons of crickets around the house. Il be going to some stores in the next few days, are thier many brands or anything specific i should look for, my guy is only small dont no age.

Personally, I only use "RepCal" brand pellets. Stay away from Flukers pellets for sure :(

I don't feed just pellets, I use them in emergencies where I can't get to the store or whatever, as well as in addition to their salads etc. BUT...there's been alot of people lately trying just pellets and swearing by them......ultimately it's up to you.

Personally, I like seeing my dragons run around for crickets :)

I dont think i would go 100% pelets, the chase of the crickets and the fact they get actual meat (sorta) sounds alittle better.

Frankly id prefer meat and salids rather then gaint clumps of... soya balls or whatever crap that is :D
