Hikari's Mulberific Delite Tortoise Food is the World's first tortoise food to include a probiotic while offering hydrating properties that offer a number of benefits.

  • Highly palatable
  • Plant based formula
  • Lower protein, high fiber offering
  • Ideal for tortoise and herbivorous lizards

FEATURES

  • Mulberry Leaf Offers Superior Nutrition
    Mulberry leaf offers an optimal nutrient source for many herbivorous reptiles like tortoise. It also significantly improves palatability. The added mulukhiya, Japanese mustard spinach and minimum grain content further enhance diet performance and flavor.
  • Fiber Rich
    The wide assortment of vegetable and plant matter make an ideal wild grass substitute.
  • Enhances Water Retention
    Poor hydration may cause urinary tract issues. The Mulberific Delite™ pellet offers excellent water absorption and high retention. This coupled with a unique sponge-like texture that improves acceptance and thereby natural water intake during feeding makes this diet an ideal hydration option.
  • Balanced Nutrition & Unique Texture
    This low-protein, high-fiber, high-calcium formula offers a 5:1 calcium:phosphorus ratio, which is optimal for tortoise. Once hydrated the pellet offers a protein level as low as that of wild grasses. The unique pellet composition and texture can eliminate food sticking to the reptiles mouth.
  • No color additives
    Mulberific Delite™ has a high concentration of natural ingredients and outstanding flavor which attracts even the most picky tortoise species.
  • The "Hikari-Germ™" Benefit
    This probiotic enhanced formula supports immune and digestive system health while the nutrient mix helps reduce feces odor.

FEEDING

For optimum results please soak the pellets in pure, fresh water for at least 5 minutes before feeding. This allows each pellet to completely hydrate and take on the preferred texture. The pellet will become 4X heavier when completely waterlogged. While Mulberific Delite™ is intended to be an exclusive food; many herbivorous tortoises also like wild grasses or vegetables and forest dwellers like fruits, all of which can be fed, if desired, but will impact the finely tuned nutrient profile of the diet thereby reducing its benefits.

We recommend MULBERIFIC DELITE™ as a daily diet for

Herbivorous Lizards Like Adult Spiny-Tailed Lizards or Iguana.

How We Ship

Safe Shipping Weather
We will only ship to your home or work when weather in route is 35-90 degrees
Fahrenheit. This temperature range is extended to 25-95 degrees Fahrenheit upon
arrival if you opt to have your live animals held for pickup at a main FedEx Shipping Center. Animals must be picked up within 4 hours of arrival for live arrival guarantee to apply.
Orders generally arrive by 12:00 PM
Typically the delivery time is before 12:00 PM (your local time) in most metro areas, but some remote areas may not be guaranteed to arrive until "end of day", which is usually late afternoon or early evening at the latest (4:30PM).
FedEx Drivers WILL NOT wait for you to come to the door.
Generally speaking, FedEx will quickly knock or ring the doorbell, and leave your
package near your front door. While this sometimes seems crazy to people who are new to having reptiles shipped to them, but this is industry standard. We purposely do not require signature, as we do not want to risk having reptiles go back on a hot (or cold) truck for the rest of the day, in the event you don't make it to the door in time. This is for the safety of the reptiles. Although we don't require a signature for delivery, we can still obtain GPS delivery coordinates and other information when needed, in order to determine where a package was left and verify delivery.

Is there an issue with your order? Email info@imperialreptiles.com
Any issues with your order must be reported within 4 hours of delivery. Animals that are Dead on Arrival (DOA) must be reported within 1 hour of delivery. Photo evidence will be required for all claims. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us first (we are open 7 days a week). Failure to notify us via email within timeframe listed above will void all guarantees.
Please email (info@imperialreptiles.com) to submit an order issue ticket. A photo of the contents of the shipment must be sent to the email above within the given amount of time after arrival or all guarantees are null and void.
