Repashy Grub Pie Question

Hey guys! Just curious if it's alright to feed my Leo Repashy Grub Pie? I heard it's mostly for recovering Leo's or Leo's who have been on a hunger strike. I just thought it would be a nice healthy treat for my boy just to spice things up a bit. :) He's a juvenile so I want him to grow big and strong! Any experiences feeding your Leos this stuff just to switch things up? Let me know!

I'm quite skeptical about Repashy's Grub Pie, because of the extremely high protein level. The container says: crude protein minimum 40%!

Especially for "recovering" leos who've been on some hunger strike, it does not seem like a very good idea.

As far as I know too much protein in a diet can lead to severe health problems.

The label shows "dry weight" percentage - the amount in the powder, as is, not the final ready-to-eat percentage.

Check the lab report at his website store, it shows it listed as "dry weight".

The powder is mixed with 2-3 parts water, so you'd get 1/3 to 1/2 that much protein in the finished mixture.

So you think it'd be safe to feed to a healthy Leo as a treat? if it's not the whole 40% I think it'd be safe
