Let’s take a look at the culinary preferences of our little furry friends. Gerbils are not only picky, but also health-conscious. They mainly like seeds, plant parts and animal proteins. But let’s focus on those tasty herbs and seeds that they love to devour.

When it comes to seeds, Gerbils are true “granivores”. This means that they are seed eaters and love nothing more than a crunchy snack. In their home countries, the choice is limited, but here we are fortunate to have an abundance of seeds to choose from. Our carefully selected seeds are not only suitable for Gerbils, but are also super healthy! They are packed with essential oils and fats that ensure a shiny coat, a radiant skin and even a well-functioning Gerbil brain power. Feed them some seeds and they will become true geniuses in their rodent world!

And let’s not forget about food enrichment! No boring loose seeds here, no way! We have seeds that are still on the plant, so Gerbils can channel their inner farmer. They can harvest their own crops and that makes for a spectacular enrichment of their eating experience. Imagine them scavenging through the desert, looking for food, just like in the wild. So stick those seeds upright in the ground cover and let the Gerbils discover their own mini oasis of delicacies. It’s like a culinary adventure right in their very own gnawing paradise!

Now, let’s talk about those tasty herbs. Gerbils have a particular fondness for plant parts such as roots, stems, leaves and flowers. So why not give them some of that? Our Gerbil foods already contain a hint of herbs, but it’s always a good idea to add some extra fibre to their diet. Sprinkle some herbs around every now and then and let them enjoy the tasty fibre-rich treats. It will definitely do their guts good and give an extra boost to their gnawing adventures!

Just a word of caution: not all herbs are suitable for Gerbils, so be careful! We have carefully selected herbs that are safe for our furry friends. But fresh herbs are a different story. They are more powerful!

Gerbils are desert animals by nature and their diet reflects this. In the dry and arid landscape they come from, they eat mostly dry plant parts such as leaves, stems and flowers. These plant parts not only provide essential nutrients but also help to hydrate the Gerbils as they do not have much access to water in their natural environment.

When keeping Gerbils in captivity, it is important to replicate their diet as closely as possible. Adding herbs to their diet is a great way to do this. Herbs often contain valuable nutrients and provide extra flavor and variety to the Gerbils diet.

However, it is crucial to choose the right herbs. Not all herbs are suitable for Gerbils, some can even be harmful to their health. It is always wise to seek advice from a veterinarian or rodent specialist before introducing new herbs to your Gerbils diet.

Luckily, DRD Rodent Shop® offers a carefully selected collection of herbs that are safe for Gerbils. From dandelion leaf to chamomile flowers and nettle leaves, we have a range of herbs that are not only tasty, but also contribute to the general health and digestion of Gerbils. It's like a culinary adventure for your furry friends!

Another benefit of adding herbs to a Gerbil’s diet is that it stimulates their natural digging and foraging behavior. In the wild, Gerbils are constantly searching for food, and hiding a few herbs here and there in their environment can keep them challenged and active. Hide the herbs in tunnels or amongst the bedding and watch them have fun finding their tasty treats. It’s like a treasure hunt that they will love!

So, if you’re looking for ways to enrich your Gerbils’ diet, why not add some tasty and healthy herbs? With our wide range of carefully selected herbs, you can ensure that your Gerbils enjoy a nutritious and varied diet, whilst also encouraging them to engage in their natural digging and foraging behaviour. Order from DRD Rodent Shop® today and give your Gerbils a tasty adventure they won’t be able to resist!

Do Gerbils Need Herbs?

Gerbils do not have a strict requirement for herbs in their diet, but adding herbs to their diet can provide several benefits. Herbs often contain valuable nutrients and fiber that can contribute to the overall health and digestion of Gerbils.

Because Gerbils in the wild also eat plant parts such as the roots, stems, leaves and flowers of various plants and herbs, it is advisable to give the animals at home the opportunity to eat this as well. Most good Gerbil foods already contain a portion of herbs. If, for whatever reason, an all-in-one pellet is fed, then occasionally sprinkling herbs around is a good idea. The extra fibers will have a positive effect on the animals' intestines.

Gerbils are desert animals by nature and their diet consists mainly of dry plant parts such as leaves, stems and flowers. These plant parts not only provide essential nutrients but also help to hydrate Gerbils as they do not have much access to water in their natural environment. Herbs can be added to this diet and provide extra variety and flavour.

Eating herbs can help stimulate Gerbils’ natural digging and foraging behavior. Hiding herbs in their environment can keep them challenged and active. This gives them the opportunity to dig, search, and find their food just as they would in the wild. It is a form of food enrichment that can help their physical and mental well-being.

Can Gerbils Have All Herbs?

No, definitely not! You should always be careful with herbs. The herbs we have selected are suitable for Gerbils, but there are also herbs that should not be given because they can have a negative effect. We also advise against giving fresh herbs without a good knowledge of herbs. Fresh herbs are many times stronger than dried herbs, which means that the effect on digestion can be many times greater due to the fresh ingredients. Gerbils are desert animals that eat mainly dry plant parts, just like in the desert (arid plants).

Do Gerbils Like Herbs?

Gerbils are naturally more interested in energy-rich foods, such as seeds, because they contain essential oils, fats and carbohydrates. Because of this, they will often prefer seeds over herbs. However, for good digestion and the necessary fibre in their diet, herbs are of great importance.

Gerbils eat herbs as needed. To understand this better, we need to look at how the animals live in the wild. Gerbils live in a warm and dry environment. It is vital to get as much energy as possible, which is why Gerbils prefer energy-rich food, but it is difficult to find. Energy-rich food includes, for example, plant seeds, which contain essential oils and fats as well as energy-giving carbohydrates. Gerbils will therefore always prefer seeds over herbs, but good digestion also requires fibers and herbs provide that.

If you want to test whether your gerbils like herbs, you can offer small amounts of different herbs and observe their reaction. Look for signs of interest, nibbling or tasty consumption. However, not all gerbils may respond with the same enthusiasm, as individual taste preferences can vary.

Do Gerbils Need Hay?

Yes, Gerbils need hay in their diet. Hay is not only tasty for Gerbils to nibble on, but it also has several important functions for their health and well-being.

In addition, hay can also be used to reinforce the ground cover. In this way, the animals can make their passages better. The hay can then be used as an intermediate layer, with a ground cover being spread underneath and over it.

In addition, hay is a source of fiber and helps to wear down the teeth of rodents. If the animals need extra fiber, they can nibble on the hay.

Chewing on hay also helps wear down Gerbils' teeth. Rodents' teeth grow continuously, so they need to be worn down regularly to prevent excessive growth. Chewing on hay helps wear down the teeth naturally and prevents dental problems such as overgrowth or crooked teeth.

Gerbils also use hay to line their sleeping area. Hay also has an insulating effect so it is nice and warm.

Make it fun for the Gerbils!

Gerbils are known for their natural love of digging and hiding. So, what happens when you combine their diet with their love of digging? You get an "edible treasure hunter"!

Imagine creating a little edible treasure map for your Gerbils. Hide some Gerbil hay, herbs and seeds in different parts of their enclosure. You can fill small toilet paper bags with a tasty mix of treats and bury them underground like a real treasure hunter. Place some hay in tunnels, hide some herbs in little holes and scatter seeds around as trails leading to the big reward.

Once your Gerbils discover the clues, they will use their natural digging instincts to search for the hidden treasures. They will dig, sniff and dig their way through their habitat, excited and curious about what they will find. It is like an adventure game where they not only get their food, but also their mind and body are stimulated.

And when they finally find the hidden treats, you can enjoy the spectacle of their excitement and joy as they tuck into their well-earned reward. It’s a great way to keep them active and engaged, while also enjoying a delicious meal.

So what are you waiting for? Create your own "edible treasure hunt adventure" and watch your Gerbils unleash their inner treasure hunters. Order some Gerbil hay, herbs and seeds from DRD Rodent Shop® today and turn every meal into an exciting discovery!
