Gerbils primarily forage for food rather than hunt, as they are omnivorous and rely on seeds, grains, and plant material. They use their keen sense of smell and burrowing abilities to locate and access food sources in their natural habitats. While they may catch small insects occasionally, they are not predators in the traditional sense and primarily scavenge for available resources. Their foraging behavior is adapted to their arid environments, where food can be scarce.
