Pill bugs, also known as roly-polies, are generally not harmful to gerbils. They are scavengers that primarily feed on decaying organic matter and are unlikely to pose a direct threat to healthy gerbils. However, if a gerbil were to consume a large number of pill bugs, it could potentially lead to digestive issues. It's best to avoid introducing any non-native insects into a gerbil's habitat to ensure their safety and well-being.

Can gerbils eat red or black bugs?

Gerbils are mostly herbivores, and only eat bugs when the opportunity presents itself. Bugs that they can eat are mealworms and crickets; however, do not give them the beetles or pupae that grow from mealworms, or other bugs to be safe. Also, since gerbils only get bugs occasionally, only feed them an insect two or three times a week at most.

Are pill bugs bad for the garden and how can they be controlled?

Pill bugs, also known as roly-polies, are not necessarily bad for the garden as they help break down decaying plant matter. However, they can become a nuisance if their population grows too large and they start feeding on young plants. To control pill bugs in the garden, you can reduce moisture levels, remove debris where they hide, and use barriers like diatomaceous earth or copper tape to keep them away from vulnerable plants.
