What Snacks Can Gerbils Have?

Gerbils are used to a frugal diet, so it is important to give them preferably natural and low-sugar snacks. Gerbils are also prone to obesity and diabetes, which together mean that we need to be extra careful with sugary snacks. Fortunately, we can help with this! In this category we have only selected snacks that are suitable for Gerbils.

How often can you give a snack to Gerbils?

That depends on the snack. Natural snacks made from herbs , seeds and natural protein sources can be given daily. It is true that your Gerbil will eat less of his own food as soon as he gets more snacks, but if the snacks have an added value and are an addition to the diet then that is no problem at all. We also paid attention to this when selecting snacks.

Can snacks be used as enrichment for Gerbils!

Yes for sure! Gerbils are very active animals. It's good to keep them busy and that goes well with tasty snacks that are given in a challenging way. For example, hide the snacks under the bedding so that the Gerbils have to actively search for them. In this way snacking is combined with challenge and exercise!

TIP! Do you have a cork tunnel ? Then place something tasty, for example dried mealworms , in the cracks of the cork tunnel and let the animals look for them themselves and pick them out. Very nice to see how they are doing!

Can you tame Gerbils with snacks?

Gerbils, like all other rodents and rabbits, are quite food-driven, which means that food and therefore snacks have a very positive incentive on the Gerbils. We can use this very well when taming the animals, but it is important not to overfeed them of course. One or two contact moments daily during which the animals are given a treat can contribute significantly to the taming process of Gerbils. In this way the animals learn that the hands are not scary at all, but that they give treats. In this way, the hand and the person attached to it are experienced as positive. Fortunately, Gerbils are very curious animals, so they will quickly come to you, reward this with some treats and the bond will quickly become strong!
