Beardie Buffet is Repashy's complete gel diet for bearded dragons — an all-in-one formula combining the insect protein, vegetables, fruit, calcium and vitamins that beardies need, in a powder you reconstitute with boiling water into a firm, sliceable gel. For an animal whose proper diet is notoriously fiddly (live insects gut-loaded and dusted, plus daily fresh salad in the right ratios), Beardie Buffet packs the whole nutritional picture into one preparation.
What's In It?
The formula mirrors a bearded dragon's natural omnivorous intake: insect meal for protein, plus a substantial plant component of vegetables, fruit and flowers. Calcium and vitamin D3 are built in at levels appropriate for a species highly prone to metabolic bone disease when supplementation is missed.
How to Use It
Mix 1 part powder with 2–3 parts boiling water, stir thoroughly, and let it set at room temperature (10–20 minutes). Cut into appropriately sized strips or cubes. Refrigerate prepared gel for up to two weeks or freeze portions for up to six months — silicone ice cube trays work brilliantly for portioning.
Repashy recommends Beardie Buffet as part of a balanced diet rather than sole nutrition: keep live insects and fresh greens in the rotation. For your live feeders, gut-loading with Bug Burger before feeding ensures the insects themselves carry proper nutrition. Many beardie keepers also breed their own feeder cockroaches — dubia colonies are far more economical than buying crickets weekly.
Bearded Dragons and Bioactive Setups
Arid bioactive vivariums for bearded dragons have become genuinely popular, and they depend on drought-tolerant cleanup crews. Hardy Porcellio isopods from dry Mediterranean habitats handle the warm, arid conditions of a beardie enclosure far better than tropical species, working alongside springtails in the moist substrate layer. If you're running bioactive, leftover Beardie Buffet fragments become a protein bonus for the crew — though uneaten gel should still be removed within 24 hours in warm enclosures.
Beyond Bearded Dragons
Beardie Buffet suits other omnivorous lizards with similar dietary ratios — many agamids and omnivorous skinks accept it readily. For predominantly insectivorous species, Grub Pie is the better-matched formula; for blue-tongued skinks specifically, Bluey Buffet is purpose-built.
Sizes
Available in multiple sizes — the smallest is ideal for testing acceptance, while larger jars suit multi-animal households. One gram of powder makes roughly 3–4 grams of finished gel.
Ideal for: bearded dragon keepers wanting reliable complete nutrition; holiday/backup feeding when live insects aren't available; arid bioactive setups; juvenile beardies needing consistent calcium.
Not ideal for: strict insectivores (use Grub Pie) or fruit-eating geckos (use the Crested Gecko range). Browse the full Repashy range in our accessories collection.
