Why choose Beaphar Care+ Mouse & Gerbil?

Mice and gerbils can develop preferences with mixed diets. They like to pick the tastiest parts from the food bowl, while other parts are left behind. This is easier to prevent with all-in-one kibble, because every kibble has the same composition. This way, your animals receive the same nutritional basis with every bite.

The extruded pellets make feeding time clear and easy to portion. You can easily weigh out the daily portion and see more quickly if any food is left over. This is convenient when you want to offer small extras, herbs, seeds, or foraging moments alongside the basic food without the menu becoming cluttered.

Beaphar Care+ Mouse & Gerbil contains poultry as an animal protein source in addition to plant-based ingredients. This suits mice and gerbils well, as they may require animal protein alongside seeds and plant-based ingredients. The combination of grains, vegetables, seeds, poultry, FOS, MOS, and omega fatty acids makes this pellet food complete as a daily basis.

For which animals is this food suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a complete pellet food for fancy mice. Feed the pellets as a small, weighed daily portion alongside appropriate enrichment, foraging opportunities, and clean drinking water.
• Gerbil: suitable as a complete pellet food for gerbils. The pellets are convenient when you want to limit selective eating and keep the daily portion manageable.

This food is specially formulated for mice and gerbils. For dwarf hamsters, hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, it is preferable to choose food that suits the specific nutritional needs of that animal species.

Fat-tailed gerbil: useful to know

For fat-tailed gerbils, Beaphar Care+ Mouse & Gerbil can be a practical basis, but these animals require extra attention regarding animal protein. Fat-tailed gerbils naturally eat more animal food than Mongolian gerbils. Therefore, it is appropriate to offer suitable dried insects , such as mealworms or crickets, as a supplementary source of animal protein alongside the main food.

This keeps the basics clear, while allowing you to better align the diet with the natural preferences of the fat-tailed gerbil.

Feeding & use

Feed Beaphar Care+ Mouse & Gerbil as a complete pellet food for mice and gerbils. The indicated guideline is approximately 6–10 grams per animal per day. The correct amount depends on the species, size, age, activity, condition, and how much is hidden or left behind.

• Use 6–10 grams per animal per day as a practical calculation basis.
• If necessary, divide the portion over two feeding times.
• Hide some of the pellets in the enclosure to encourage natural foraging behavior.
• Regularly check whether food is being eaten or is mainly being stored.
• Always introduce feed changes gradually by temporarily mixing old and new feed.
• Check appetite, weight, activity, and storage spots regularly.
• Store the food in a dry, cool, and tightly sealed place.

A good daily routine is straightforward: a small, measured portion of pellets, clean drinking water, and sufficient opportunities to search, collect, dig, and gnaw. This way, the diet aligns better with the natural behavior of mice and gerbils.

Daily portion guideline

The recommended amount is a practical starting point. Always consider the individual animal, its build, and how much is being stored. Gerbils, in particular, can hoard and hide food, causing the bowl to sometimes appear empty while there is still food stored in the enclosure.

Since this food is used for both mice and gerbils, it is advisable not to base the portion size solely on the packaging, but also to consider size, activity level, hoarding behavior, and body condition. Actual consumption may be lower for smaller mice than for gerbils.

Echinacea, green tea extract, yeast, algae, and spirulina enrich the composition and help make the pellet food complete as an easily dosable daily base.

• Then switch completely when your animals continue to eat well and have normal droppings.

During the transition, pay close attention to appetite, activity, weight, and hoarding behavior. If you notice clear changes, build up more slowly or seek advice from a veterinarian knowledgeable about small rodents.

Good to know

Beaphar Care+ Mouse & Gerbil is a complete pet food, but enrichment remains important. Mice and gerbils naturally search for food, gather food, dig, and explore their environment. Therefore, you can spread part of the daily portion in the bedding, in a snack roll, or on a safe foraging spot.

• Store the food in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place.
• Check storage areas regularly so that old food does not sit there for too long.
• Give extra snacks in moderation, so that the basic diet remains well-eaten.
• For gerbils, combining bedding, tunnels, gnawing material, and digging opportunities aligns well with natural behavior.
• For mice, combining climbing opportunities, foraging, nesting material, and small hiding places fits well with an active enclosure.
