Let's feast on the culinary preferences of our little furry friends. Gerbils are not only picky, but also very conscious about their health. They are especially fond of seeds, plant parts and animal proteins.

What do Gerbils actually like as a snack?

Gerbils are quite tasty, but they are picky, luckily we know that! All snacks can be roughly divided into four categories: snacks with or in the form of herbs, snacks with or in the form of vegetables, snacks with or in the form of fruit and snacks with or in the form of seeds and nuts.

In nature, Gerbils will mainly choose energy-rich food and they don't really do that differently in our home. For this reason, seeds, nuts and fruit are very popular with animals, but the latter category should only be given in moderation, i.e. really as a snack. Dried fruit in snack form or single, such as dried apples, are very popular with Gerbils!

Did you know that Gerbilis are granivores?

When it comes to seeds, Gerbils are true "granivores". This means that they love seeds and love nothing more than a crunchy bite. They may have limited choices in their home country, but fortunately here we have an abundance of tasty seeds and snacks to choose from. Our carefully selected seeds are not only suitable for Gerbils, but also super healthy! They are packed with essential oils and fats that provide a shiny coat, radiant skin and even sharp Gerbil intelligence. Give them some seeds and they will become true geniuses in the world of rodents!

Did you know that Gerbils enjoy harvesting their own seeds?

And let's not forget to give their meals an extra dimension! No boring loose seeds with us, oh no! We have seeds still attached to the plant so Gerbils can channel their inner farmer. They can harvest their own harvest and that provides a spectacular taste experience. Imagine them as desert adventurers looking for food, just like in the wild. So stick those seeds upright in the ground cover and let the Gerbils discover their own little paradise of treats. It's like a culinary adventure right in their own gnawing paradise!

What snacks can Gerbils have?

Gerbils are naturally used to a sparse diet, so it is therefore important to preferably give them natural and low-sugar snacks. Gerbils are also prone to obesity and diabetes, which together means that we have 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 is given more snacks, but if the snacks have added value and complement the diet, then that is not a problem. We have 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 is good to keep them busy and that works well with tasty snacks that are given in a challenging way. For example, hide the snacks under the ground cover so that the Gerbils have to actively look 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 find them and pick them out themselves. Super fun to see what 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 for the Gerbils. We can use this very well to tame the animals, but it is important not to overfeed them, of course. One or two contact moments every day during which something tasty is given to the animals can contribute significantly to the taming process of Gerbils. In this way, the animals learn that the hands are not scary at all, but rather give treats. In this way, the hand and the person attached to it are experienced positively. Fortunately, Gerbils are very curious animals, so they will soon come to you, reward this with a treat and the bond will quickly become strong!

Herbal snacks for Gerbils?

Now let's talk about those delicious herbal snacks. Gerbils have a soft spot for plant parts such as roots, stems, leaves and flowers. So why shouldn't we give them that pleasure? Many of our Gerbil snacks already contain a hint of herbs. It will certainly do their intestines good and give an extra boost to their gnawing adventures!

Did you know that Gerbils are desert animals by nature?

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

For our Gerbils in our home, it is important to imitate their diet as closely as possible. Adding responsible and suitable snacks to their diet is a great way to do this. Herbal snacks often contain valuable nutrients and add extra flavor and variety to Gerbils' diets.

Use snacks for Gerbils as enrichment and challenge

Another advantage of offering natural snacks is that it stimulates their natural digging and foraging behavior. In the wild, Gerbils are constantly on the lookout for food, and hiding a few treats here and there in their environment can challenge them and keep them active. Hide the snacks in tunnels or among bedding and watch them have fun finding their tasty rewards. It's like an exciting scavenger hunt that they will love!

So, if you're looking for ways to enrich your Gerbils' diet, why not add some tasty and healthy snacks? With our wide range of carefully selected snacks you can ensure that your Gerbils enjoy a nutritious and varied diet, while also encouraging them to exhibit their natural digging and foraging behaviour.
