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 and reduce it's benefits.
Note: Hikari® Mulberific Delite™ contains higher levels of natural ingredients which may cause a slight change in color from one production lot to another. Rest assured because of our rigid quality standards each package meets our superior nutritional specifications.
