Question

What vegetables are good to feed gerbils?

Answer 1

What do gerbils eat?

The primary diet of gerbils should consist of a seed mixture meant for hamsters/gerbils, which can be found in pet stores.  It should consist of a variety of seeds, but not have a large amount of sunflower or pumpkin seeds, as these have a very high fat content.  The seed mix should be available to them at all times.

In addition to this seed mix, gerbils enjoy a handful of timothy and alfalfa hay a few times per week.  A limited amount of fresh fruit or vegetables, such as a slice of apple or a piece of lettuce, should be given once or twice a week.

Fresh water should always be available, and should be contained in a water bottle (not a water bowl, as gerbils will bury or tip over the bowl, dirtying the bedding and depriving them of water). An 8 oz. water bottle is a good size.  If you have your gerbils in an aquarium, you need to buy a metal bottle chew guard/holder to hold the water bottle in.  Both the water bottles and holders are available in pet stores, and even at many grocery stores.

For treats, gerbils love many of the hamster/gerbil treats available in pet stores.  Vitakraft Yogurt Drops and Waffles are especially appreciated by my gerbils.  You can also give them many kinds of unfrosted breakfast cereals, such as Cheerios.  An occasional raisin will also be much loved.

It's good to give it some new foods to try and taste.

Just remove uneaten foods after 12 hours.
