Hikari Mulberific Delite - Nourishing Herbivorous Reptiles with Care
Hikari Mulberific Delite is a scientifically formulated, probiotic-enhanced pellet designed specifically for herbivorous reptiles, such as tortoises and herbivorous lizards like adult Spiny-Tailed Lizards or Iguanas. Here are the exceptional features that make it stand out:
-
Mulberry Leaf Nutrition: Mulberry leaf is an exceptional nutrient source for herbivorous reptiles like tortoises. It not only provides essential nutrients but also significantly improves palatability. The addition of mulukhiya, Japanese mustard spinach, and minimal grain content further enhances the diet's performance and flavor.
-
Rich in Fiber: The wide variety of vegetable and plant matter in this pellet serves as an excellent substitute for wild grass, enriching your reptile's diet with essential fiber.
-
Enhanced Hydration: Proper hydration is crucial for reptiles, and the Mulberific Delite pellet excels in this regard. It offers excellent water absorption and high retention. Its unique sponge-like texture improves acceptance, encouraging natural water intake during feeding, making it an ideal hydration option.
-
Balanced Nutrition: This pellet formula features a low-protein, high-fiber, and high-calcium composition, providing a 5:1 calcium-to-phosphorus ratio that's optimal for tortoises. Once hydrated, the pellet's protein level matches that of wild grasses. The unique texture prevents food from sticking to the reptile's mouth.
-
No Artificial Color Additives: Mulberific Delite is packed with natural ingredients and outstanding flavor, making it irresistible even to the most selective tortoise species. It contains no artificial color additives.
-
The "Hikari-Germ™" Benefit: This probiotic-enhanced formula supports the immune and digestive systems, promoting overall health. Additionally, it helps reduce feces odor, enhancing the overall cleanliness of your reptile's habitat.
Feeding Recommendations: For best results, soak the pellets in pure, fresh water for at least 5 minutes before feeding. This allows each pellet to fully hydrate and achieve the preferred texture. The pellet becomes four times heavier when completely waterlogged. While Mulberific Delite is intended to be a primary food source, herbivorous tortoises may also enjoy wild grasses, vegetables, and fruits. However, these additional foods may impact the precisely balanced nutrient profile of the diet.
Hikari Mulberific Delite is an excellent choice for the daily diet of herbivorous lizards like adult Spiny-Tailed Lizards or Iguanas. It provides the essential nutrition, hydration, and dietary variety needed to keep your reptiles healthy and thriving. Trust Hikari for top-quality reptile nutrition.
