Feeding

In the wild, gerbils are omnivorous. Which means they eat both plants and animals.  Their usual diet is seeds, grains and grasses. Plus the occasional creepy-crawly for essential animal protein. To stay healthy, your pets will need a good quality complete food – Supagerbil Gerbil Granola is ideal. It copies their natural diet and ensures that all the vital nutrients and proteins are supplied.

Give your gerbils around a tablespoon of food a day, split into two servings. Never add more until all the previous food has gone.

A healthy snack adds a little welcome variety - Excel Nature Snacks are perfect. Hide a few around the cage for a tasty treasure hunt. You should never offer human food. Some, like chocolate, can even poison your pets.

And finally, make sure your pets have fresh water in a drinking bottle.
