Repashy SuperPig 12 Oz Pigment Enhancement Powder - Concentrated Color

In this review the Repashy SuperPig 12 Oz jar is evaluated for hobbyists and breeders who want a controlled, concentrated way to boost natural coloration in reptiles, amphibians, fish and birds. The bottom line: this is a versatile carotenoid pigment supplement intended for mixing into diets, gutloads or injections, and its broad-spectrum carotenoid blend is the single biggest reason to choose it over single-ingredient colorants. The jar format and clear directions make it practical for small-scale use and targeted color enhancement.

Key Features

• Broad carotenoid spectrum: Contains many carotenoids such as astaxanthin, lutein and lycopene, offering a wide range of pigments to influence red, orange and yellow tones across species.
• Multiple application methods: Can be mixed into complete diets, used in insect gutload formulas or dissolved and injected into frozen rodents, giving flexibility for reptiles, fish, amphibians and birds.
• High carotenoid concentration: Total carotenoids guaranteed at a minimum of 3,000 mg per pound, allowing lower inclusion rates to still deliver noticeable pigment support.
• Practical jar size: The 12 oz (3/4 lb) jar is convenient for hobbyists and breeders who need a manageable quantity without committing to larger bulk packaging.
• Guaranteed basic analysis: Provides crude protein, fat, fiber, moisture and ash figures so users can account for it when formulating complete diets.

Who It's For

This product suits hobbyists, breeders and aquarists who already prepare or supplement feeds and want to fine-tune coloration through diet. Those keeping mixed collections of reptiles, amphibians and birds will appreciate a single ingredient that covers a wide carotenoid profile and can be applied in different ways.

It is not aimed at someone seeking a ready-mixed pellet or a feed with pigmentation already balanced; users should be comfortable measuring inclusion rates (up to 10% dry matter basis) and adjusting recipes when gutloading insects or mixing into complete diets.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comprehensive carotenoid list gives broader pigment options than single-compound additives.
• Flexible use cases - suitable for gutload, diet mixing or injection into frozen prey.
• Concentrated carotenoid level means small amounts can be effective, reducing waste.
• Clear guaranteed analysis helps with nutritional planning when formulating diets.

Cons

• Requires user knowledge to measure and mix correctly, since it is an additive powder rather than a finished feed.
• Not a complete diet on its own; must be integrated into existing feeding programs to be effective.

Our Verdict

Repashy SuperPig 12 Oz is a focused, high-concentration carotenoid powder for users who formulate feeds or gutload insects and want to influence coloration intentionally. It represents good value for breeders and serious hobbyists because of its broad carotenoid mix and multiple application methods, but it requires careful measurement and is not a substitute for a balanced complete diet.
