Yes, in fact crickets are a great source of protein and exercise for your gerbil, as well as entertainment for you! Here is a link to a breeder who filmed a video of her gerbil chasing and eating a cricket: http://www.thegerbils.com/maintenance5insects.htm

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.

What do gerbils eat?

Well They just eat normal Gerbil food from the pet store. I'm not sure this is for all gerbils but mine eat lettuce and cheerios.my gerbils are obsessed with wild bird seed and I've checked its OK for them to eat so that's a great treat. they like most veg (but don't give them rhubarb, tomato or potato because that's bad for them) and a few bits of plain cereal! gerbils love to eat mixed food like penuts&sunflower seeds. gerbils love to eat fruit&vegetables do not let gerbils eat citrus fruit like lemons,orange, pineapple and limes.they love to eat treats like yoghurt drops.Gerbils are omnivores and can eat small insects such as crickets and larva.
