You can give your gerbils SMALL amounts of Apples, Carrots, Spinich, Peas, Almonds, Sunflower Seeds and VERY SMALL amounts of Peanut Butter and Honey, maybe once or twice a week. You can also give them the occasional piece of poped corn, ( how to do that is you put a few pieces of unpoped, unsalted or flavored pop corn and never put oil on it, and then just put the pieces in a brown paper bag and put it in the microwave until it pops. I have not tried this yet, but of what I have read, it works. ) And grapes. Maybe cut a grape in half and give the gerbil half a grape maybe twice a month or so.
I know my gerbils like just pain apple sauce.It is hard to find something that all six of my gerbils will eat, but they all will eat apple sauce! A good treat mix for them is to cut a slice of apple into little chunks and put it in a bowl and mix it with a little bit of peanut butter and a few drops of honey. It sounds gross, but my gerbils sure like it! They also like non-instant oatmeal, just plain old fashioned oatmeal. I give my gerbils each about two grains of it ( the grains are pretty big for a gerbil! ) every now and then.
Oh, you should NEVER feed your gerbils citrus fruits, lettuce ( it can cause wet tail if too much is eaten ), I think potatoes, i don't think they're good for gerbils, and NEVER feed them salted or oiled pop corn, chips, cheesepuffs, tortillas, etc. none of that is good for them. You should never give them lots of any treat stuff, give it to them as treats, not full meals. :)
Well, that's all that I can think of that they can eat from anyone's pantry...
Hope this helps!
Gerbils eat broccoli, cheese love natural peanut butter, boiled potato, chips only little, whole wheat bread, crust from Pizza and more...
Feed it.
carrots and apples
Absolutely, they are a great source of vitamins and minerals for the gerbil!
one a day
Yes, apple is a good food for them.
talk to your gerbil get it used to your voice put your hand in the cage and put some treats (sun flower seeds) in it after a wile take it out never push your gerbil be calm and patient soon your gerbil will coe right into your hand. it is best to stick with times to feed and clean he cage and to put your hand in
Feed it unfresh food
feed it. But seriously, if the gerbil refuses to eat, perhaps try different gerbil-firendly foods. And if all else fails, see a vet. If the gerbil will not eat, you may want to see a veterinarian. The gerbil might have a tooth that is bothering him.
Pita bread would be OK for a gerbil. As long as it is unsweetened and unsalted.
get kitten litter milk to feed them and always keep them warm take caare of them until their ready to go to a new home
Naturally, they live in the desert
It is best to feed a pet gerbil a variety of healthy food. Commercial store bought food is really good for the base food for your gerbil. But Gerbils like treats too, so try some pasta, nuts, cereal and of course some crickets for a fun treat.
