Gerbils eat carrots?
okay supriningly MY gerbils used to eat carboard and paper and the male (dad) would eat his young
but they can eat potatoe carrots celery and brocoli for sure but only in small diced up amounts and nuts,seeds(sunflower with shell) but thats i all i kno
i have a chinchilla and a guinea pig theyy are related 2 gerbils at least thats what petsmark told me!
they love veggies!!
go 2 petsmark and get the veggie garden salad it has alot of the good stuff and they have some timmithy hay in it 2!!
if you buy some tell me how it works!!
apples (remove the seeds)..grains...oatmeal or unsweetened cereal..anything...as long as u dnt give them too much.when you feed them fruits or vegetables with seeds kindly remove them...seeds can prove they are fatal to most rodents.
wish you all the best!! say hi to them for me...!! hehehe!
They can eat lots of different fruits. Mine likes apples, oranges, and kiwis. (Slice them into manageable pieces, place them in a food dish separate from the one you place their regular food in, and be sure to take it out after four hours to avoid spoilage and bugs.) You can also OCCASIONALLY give them and unsalted shelled peanut. They really like peanuts, but you must be careful b/c these are very high in fat. If you do this, you may only want to try it about once or twice a month. My gerbil also really likes yogurt treats and the occasional cheese treat (not cheese for humans--cheese treats packaged specifically for small animals). Hope this helps you add some variety to your gerbils' diet!
Rodent blocks are best. Too many sunflower seeds are bad, they're very fatty. The rodent blocks are 100% complete so only feed treats sparingly.
Don't feed lettuce because they'll get diarrhea. Remove seeds from veggies and fruit. Carrots, apple, sweet potatoes, broccoli, squash, strawberries, berries, hard things to file their teeth, etc. Don't feed avacadoes. Try to locate a gerbil safe food list online for toxic foods not to feed.
as treats i SPARINGLY give mine slices of apples, slices of carrot, slices of celery, and PLAIN cheerios. you can also try grapes, but mine had no idea what it was and they didn't even do anything with it.
also any treats you find at the pet store that are for gerbils
they also like cardboard tubes to chew, a good use for them after you finish the roll! my mom always knows to give me any empty paper rolls!
