Is it bad 4 gerbils 2 eat almonds?

Question

i have 2 gerbils an albino and a mongolian and i love them 2 death but lately my family has been giving them extra snacks like almonds and today the albino got sick and had a extremely fast heart beat it slowed down now after she slept 4 awhile she barely moved around the cage and wasn't her normal self. was it the almonds or is she sick from something else?? were not bringing her 2 the vet we cant really afford stuff like that.

Answer 1

OMJ!

Oh, goodness!

I gave my cousin's gerbil almonds! (non- salted)

If it is bad, then we are in the same boat! :-[

Answer 2

Ok, I HAD gerbils, So i would recommend tell your family NOT to feed them anything else. Just try and get them back on track with them normal diet. Then, after they get better, SLOWLY!, feed them extras. Because its too sudden for their bodys!

Hope I Helped! =)

Answer 3

Gerbils can eat almonds.  Just don't give it too much..

Answer 4

make sure that your family doesnt do that again.  your gerbils should be fine. she will probably just extremely lazy and may not want to eat tommorow.  an almond is way to much for a gerbil to eat.  its high really high in fat .  it would be like us eating a little more that a gallon of the richest ice cream out there and feeling so stuft that you could puke. if your family would like to give her treats than you can give them each half a carrot every few days or you can give them 1 sunflower seed each a day. at petsmart they have treats that are good for them also.  

hope this helps
