Aperçu des Besoins Nutritionnels

Gerbils are adapted to arid environments and are efficient with water. They are omnivores that thrive on a base diet of gerbil food mix or lab blocks, supplemented with small amounts of fresh vegetables and occasional animal protein. Unlike hamsters, gerbils rarely overeat and maintain healthy weight naturally.

Questions Fréquemment Posées

Do gerbils need a lot of water?▼

Gerbils are desert animals and drink much less than rats or hamsters. They produce concentrated urine and dry droppings. However, fresh water must always be available in a sipper bottle. A gerbil drinking excessively could indicate illness.

Can gerbils eat sunflower seeds?▼

Yes, but in moderation. Sunflower seeds are high in fat and gerbils love them, so they will selectively eat seeds and ignore healthier components. Limit to a few seeds per day as treats, not as a dietary staple.
