Gerbil Food

Gerbil foods should contain ingredients such as wheat, oats, barley, sunflower seeds, corn, pumpkin seeds and dried grass pellets. This will provide your gerbil with a balanced diet inclusive of all the minerals and vitamins required. Sunflower seeds make the perfect treat, and your gerbil will select them in preference to other ingredients, although they should be given sparingly as too many are likely to cause stomach upsets and obesity. The traditional muesli mixes for gerbils incorporate vitamins and minerals that gerbils need in various different ingredients such as seeds, grains and vegetables. It is important that you select a food suitable for gerbils to ensure that their dietary requirements are met.
