Gerbils can eat Honey Nut Cheerios in moderation, as they are not toxic to them. However, these cereals contain added sugars and flavors that are not ideal for a gerbil's diet. It's best to offer them small amounts as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of their diet. A balanced diet of fresh pellets, hay, and occasional fresh fruits and vegetables is recommended for gerbils.

No. Gerbils are omnivorous, meaning they eat both animal (well, insects) and plants, like humans. However, they are only opportunistic omnivorous, and can survive decently on a strictly vegetarian diet, but it is beneficial to give your gerbils a mealworm every now and then.

Yes, foxes do hunt gerbils, especially in regions where both animals coexist. Foxes are opportunistic predators and will eat small mammals, including gerbils, as part of their diet. Their hunting strategies and adaptability make them effective at catching a variety of prey in their habitats.
Natural predators of gerbils are snakes, cats, and birds of prey--all of which come down on the prey, so make sure when you pick up your gerbil, you scoop it from underneath.
