Can i feed my gerbils vegetables/fruit instead of gerbils food?
i am planning on getting gerbils, but can i feed them mostly vegetables/fruits and feed them gerbil food once in a while or are vegetables/fruits treats for gerbils and only be fed to them occasionally. No, definitely not. Gerbils need the protein and other nutrients that the gerbil food provides and too much fruit/vegetables will give them diarrhea and make them sick. You should use gerbil food as the majority of their diet and give them small amounts of fruits and vegetables occasionally as treats. For two gerbils give them one handful of gerbil food a day. I pick out the sunflower and pumpkin seeds and save them as treats, since they’re fattening and addictive to gerbils. Gerbil food is not all that expensive. I use Kaytee, which has a good variety. One bag lasts a long time. This entry was posted on Saturday, January 30th, 2010 at 1:12 am and is filed under wholesale shoes. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed.
