How often do baby gerbils feed when bottle fed?

Answer 1

Baby gerbils should be fed by their mother, but if this isn't possible, it is best to use kitten replacement milk (purchasable at pet retail stores). Feed them at least three times a day with an eyedropper until the gerbil is around three weeks old. Then you can alternate between Cheerios or bread soaked in the milk and the eyedropper of it to wean them to real food in the next week. Gerbils should be able to start eating seeds and gerbil mixes around 4 weeks of age.
