Gerbil toys & foraging toys – enrichment that suits digging, destroying and searching
Gerbils are curious, active diggers who love to explore , destroy, and forage . With the right gerbil toys, you can turn "giving a treat" into an activity: searching, puzzling, gnawing, and building. In this category, you'll find enrichment that complements natural behavior, such as food puzzles , snack mazes , gnawing and demolition materials, and playful elements to hide in the enclosure.
We select our products based on practicality, safety, and challenge – so it's fun for your gerbils and remains logical for you. Specialists in rodents and rabbits since 2011 .
Sprinkle a portion of the ration, use food puzzles, or hide small pieces. This encourages searching behavior and keeps gerbils occupied.
View foraging puzzle →
Gerbils don't "destruct" for nothing: gnawing and building are part of the game. So, combine toys wisely with safe gnawing materials.
Rodent material →
More hiding routes and "passages" make the enclosure less open. This often encourages gerbils to explore more freely.
Gerbil tunnels →
Selection guide – which gerbil toy is right for your enclosure?
Ideally, choose a combination of foraging (searching), demolition/gnawing (keeping busy), and hiding routes (safety). This way, you create a habitat that remains interesting without "overstimulating."
1) Foraging & puzzles (searching for food)
- JR Farm Back to Instinct Snack Labyrinth – make gerbils work for a reward.
- JR Farm Active Carpet – scatter/sniff, ideal for small portions.
2) Demolition and gnawing enrichment (demolition is allowed)
- Willow, grass & wood – suitable for gnawing and "working".
- Combine with safe gnawing wood for structural gnawing needs.
3) Dig & Hide Ideas (Building and Routes)
- Trixie Digging Tower / Digging Disc – an extra challenge in the enclosure.
- Work in layers with bedding and add tunnels/houses as “passages”.
Tip : Don't change everything at once. Instead, replace 1-2 items per week so gerbils stay curious and you can see what works best.
What does play and foraging mean for gerbils?
Foraging is food-seeking behavior: gerbils search, dig, push, and "peel" to get to food. Playing often involves building and demolishing for gerbils: cardboard, willow, and wood are explored and adapted. With the right enrichment, you can safely stimulate this natural behavior.
Types of gerbil enrichment that work well in practice
- Food puzzles & sniffing enrichment – for small portions and rewards.
- Snack balls/mazes – delay snacking and increase activity.
- Demolition toys – willow/grass/wood for gnawing and destroying.
- Routes & Obstacles – Tunnels, passages, and hiding places for safe exploration.
Practical tips for better results (without hassle)
- Sprinkle feeding instead of feeding everything in one bowl (small portions, divided).
- Work with zones : a digging part (ground cover), a sand part and a “route” with tunnels.
- Make rewards small : use mini-snacks to make searching take longer.
- Combine with hiding places so that gerbils dare to play with more confidence.
Checklist – Playing & Foraging for Gerbils
✔ Something to do every day: foraging, gnawing or building.
✔ Change 1–2 items per week (not all at once).
✔ Reward small and spread out (prevents “gone in 1 minute”).
✔ Combine with houses and tunnels for safe routes.
✔ Check toys for damage and replace any with sharp edges.
Safety
Preferably choose natural, gerbil-friendly materials and check toys regularly for splinters, loose parts, or sharp edges. Introduce new items slowly and observe how your gerbils interact with them. If you have any concerns about their behavior, appetite, or condition, consult a veterinarian.
FAQ – Gerbil Toys & Foraging
What are the best toys for gerbils?
The best choice is a combination of foraging (searching), demolition/gnawing (keeping busy), and hiding routes (safety). This keeps the habitat interesting and in line with natural behavior.
Why do gerbils destroy toys so quickly?
Destruction and gnawing are part of gerbil nature. They explore with their teeth and "work" materials as if expanding their burrow. Therefore, choose toys that can withstand wear and tear, and always combine them with safe gnawing materials.
How do I prevent my gerbils from eating everything at once?
Work with small rewards, divide the portion, and use puzzles or scatter food. This makes the search last longer and keeps it fun.
