Do gerbils eat apples

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Yes, gerbils can have apples. You should cut them into small cubes before you feed them so they wont choke and you cant feed them apples all the time or they get bored and wont eat them. You can also feed them other things like cucumbers or carrots.

Answer 3

I wouldn't give your gerbils figs but if you cut up the apples into tiny pieces you can feed them to your gerbil. Make sure it doesn't get stuck in its teeth and the pieces should be around a centimetre in length and width. Do NOT feed green apples to your gerbil, unless you want them to suffer and possibly die. The green apples are way too sour for them, and many other small animals, and can cause them to crash whitch makes them easier targets for illness and death.

Answer 4

They should be given fresh fruits and veggies. Broccoli is their favorite. Apples and bananas will sometimes get a nibble. They are mostly grain and cereal eaters. (oats, quinoa, seeds, etc...)

Answer 5

They can have very small amounts of red apples, every three to four weeks- NEVER EVER give them green apples or large amounts of red apples, unless you want to kill them.

Answer 6

Yes, they can. Most of these creatures like to eat seeds. They do like fruit now and then but not as a main staple.

Answer 7

yes they can infact gerbils eat any seed even bird seed but only the seed

Answer 8

Giving Gerbils green apples is a BIG no-no. The green apples are too sour for them, and can kill them.
