Gerbils can eat a variety of foods, including high-quality commercial gerbil pellets, fresh fruits like apples and Pears (in moderation), and vegetables such as carrots and broccoli. They can also enjoy small amounts of seeds, grains, and occasional treats like nuts. Always ensure that any fresh food is thoroughly washed and offered in moderation to prevent digestive issues. Avoid sugary or fatty foods, as well as anything toxic to gerbils, such as chocolate and citrus fruits.
