You don't have to do anything. Fresh fruit and vegetables arnt available in the dessert where gerbils originate from so it is no a necessary requirement in their diet. If you want them to eat fresh foods I would look up all the foods they can eat and try them on different things there must be something they like. Also if they weren't feed fresh foods by the first owner they won't be used to it or want it. My gerbils don't like fresh foods they just leave them. I tried them on different things. I found out one of them likes dandelion leaves but they all love stale, whole meal bread so you could try them. Gerbils can also eat lettuce, apple, various berries ( look up which are OK, carrots, bananas as well as other things.

Asker: Can you be more specific with that? He's not very willing to eat or drink. I've left a little teaspoon of cottage cheese in his enclosure.

Can an adult recover from sleep deprivation?

Yes. Just get as much sleep as you need. Your body will fully recover once you have got the right amount of sleep (particularly REM sleep). I suggest you have a weekend where you plan nothing but to sleep as much as you need. I know this sounds a bit ridiculous and too easy to be solving sleep deprivation, but I have studied sleep patterns and disturbances and this is the answer. If this doesn't help which it should, I suggest you see a doctor or find out the underlying problem of your sleep deprivation.

What do you do if your gerbil is fat?

If it's a minor problem: Try getting the gerbil some wood blocks to chew on.

If it's a major problem, you should take your gerbil to a vet to get it's teeth properly trimmed.
