What Gerbils Eat

Gerbils come from dry places, so their food is mostly seeds and grains.

🥣

Gerbil food mix

Choose a seed and grain mix made for gerbils and give a small portion each day.

🥕

A tiny piece of fresh veg or a few sunflower seeds can be a treat. Don't give too many fatty seeds.

💧

Gerbils don't drink a lot, but they must always have clean water available.

🪵

Untreated wood chews and cardboard keep their teeth healthy.

🚫

Avoid chocolate, sweets, citrus fruit and anything sugary or salty.

🏡 Always ask a grown-up and a vet if you're unsure about caring for a pet.
