Can gerbils eat watermelon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They probably would eat it but I can't recommend it. Giving gerbils food that is mostly water is liable to give them diarrhoea and they can become dehydrated very quickly when poorly. Try Cheerios, cheese, dry toast or apple for a nice treat instead.

That depends on how ripe it is to begin with - at most, a fully ripe watermelon at room temperature will last a day or two (depending on the heat of the room - cooler will make it last longer).

Where in California is watermelon grown?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Watermelon grows where there is adequate water and a fertile but sandy soil and while everyone should be pleased that California has a long growing season and does provide excellent produce before and late into the growing season no one, and that is No One and I mean Absolutely No One can produce a Black Diamond Melon like they do in Oklahoma. Once tried at its peak it invites, NO, it absolutely demands a repeat performance. There are signature products that seem to only be absolutely perfect when grown in a certain specific environment. The Santa Rosa Plum is an absolute winner and the sweet lemons from near Oceanside are a genuine treat. If you are in the market for a Cantloupe no one and that means absolutely nobody can match Rocky Ford Colarado. If you want watermelon they are grown in numerous locations, some places produce an excellent product but they pale when compared to the Real McCoy.

Do watermelon need pollination?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am currently growing watermelon vines in my backyard. I sowed seeds directly into the soil May 1, 2009. They are now beginning to grow watermelons (June 28, 2009). I gave them plenty of room to grown and constantly water them. This is my first batch, but so far it looks like all they need is rich soil, space, lots of water, and some type of hay or straw to keep the moisture in.
