Yes. In fact, giving your gerbil a variety of fruits is good for them. Don't give them too much though. If given too much, the amount of sugar within the fruits could hurt them. Sunflower seeds are one of the major foods that gerbils tend to eat. If given fruits, make sure they are about the size of the gerbils head to keep it safe.
carrots and apples
No! Anything with sugar will make a gerbil ill! Instead of sugar their favorite treat is a sunflower seed.
Usually, gerbils love raw sunflower seeds. They gobble them up.
Either your gerbil is pregnant, or they have eaten too many sunflower seeds in one sitting. Try removing sunflower seeds from their diet. If they are still fat after one week, then your gerbil is probably expecting. For info on how to take care of baby gerbils, ask on this site 'How do you take care of baby gerbils?'.
Depends If you Have A Fat Bottom and have big teeth and a tail and like to eat sunflower seed then yes!
Associate it with a treat, like carrot or sunflower seeds.
they will happily eat the pellets and minerals in a pet shop food. although they like fresh foods in it such as carrots, ( only one slice a day) apples and plums.
Yes, my gerbil loves strawberry leaves but won't eat the strawberry but I know that they can eat strawberys.
Gerbils do eat the strawberries and other kinds of berries as well. If youre a pet owner giving your gerbil strawberries, you just need to make sure they are washed and dried and not given in excess.
ALMONDS! Its definitely a first class choice for you gerbil, when I had mine I always gave him a gerbil food mix and he always went for the almonds first! But they eat bits of walnut, sunflower seeds and raisins! Oh! And if your gerbil has been good, a bit of pasta with butter or buttered toast! They cant resist that!
Yes, but only very, very tiny pieces and every once in a while. NEVER give them alot of red apples or ANY green apples unless you want to make them very sick- and if a gerbil gets sick, it crashes (and possibly dies). The green apples are too sour for them, and large amounts of red apple, or given to the gerbil frequently, can cause them to crash from too much sugar, which could kill them and any small animal.
Carrots, apples, generally crunchy fruits and veg apart from lettuce or anything citrus.
