Gerbils need a food bowl so they know where to find their food. Another reason to offer a food bowl is to ensure that the animals get enough food. In addition to a food bowl, we also recommend scattering the food around a bit in the context of food enrichment and a challenge for the animals, but there must always be a food bowl present so that the animals have a permanent place where they are guaranteed to get their food back for the day. can find.

Is a food bowl necessary for Gerbils?

Yes, we believe that Gerbils should have a fixed feeding place so that they are guaranteed to get the nutrition they need for the day. If food is offered without a feeder, for example by scattering it around or laying it on the bedding , there is a chance that the animals will not find their portion for the day and develop a nutritional deficiency. This is exacerbated by the many digging of the animals. This ensures that the feed is completely mixed with the bedding and is therefore difficult to find.

Which food bowls are suitable for Gerbils?

You want a food bowl to stay in place, so a heavier food bowl made of ceramic is best for the animals. In addition, it is important to place the food bowl on a plateau or another hardened place, because otherwise it does not matter how heavy the food bowl is, the Gerbils will happily dig it over into the ground cover.

Does the feeder need to be filled daily?

That depends on the type of gerbil food that is given. Some manufacturers recommend topping up the feed daily, while others recommend waiting until the feeder is empty. It is best to follow the nutritional advice of the manufacturer for this. In addition to a food bowl, the animals also need a drinking bottle .
