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

What are Gerbils' favorite snacks?

Gerbils have a varied diet and enjoy treats in many forms. The four main categories of treats for Gerbils are:

• Herbs : Dried herbs such as mint, nettle and chamomile.
• Vegetables : Dried carrots, pumpkin and other rodent-friendly vegetables.
• Fruit : Dried fruit, such as apple, pear and raisins, but always in moderation!
• Seeds and Nuts : Gerbils are true “granivores”, meaning they love seeds and nuts.

Gerbils are quite tasty, but 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 do not do anything different at home. For this reason, seeds, nuts and fruit are very popular with the animals, but the latter category should only be given in moderation, so really as a snack. Dried fruit in snack form or single, such as dried apples are very popular with Gerbils!

Why do Gerbils prefer seeds?

Gerbils are natural granivores and eat mainly seeds in their wild habitat. Seeds are rich in essential oils and fats, which not only contribute to a healthy coat and skin, but also help maintain a sharp mind. At DRD Rodent Shop® we offer a wide range of healthy seeds that are specially selected for Gerbils, so they can enjoy these delicious treats in a safe and responsible way.

Did you know that Gerbils are granivores?

When it comes to seeds, Gerbils are true “granivores”. This means that they love seeds and love nothing more than a crunchy snack. In their homeland they may have limited choices, but here we are fortunate to have an abundance of seeds and tasty seed snacks 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, radiant skin and even a sharp Gerbil intelligence. Feed them some seeds and they will become true geniuses in the rodent world!

Did you know that Gerbils like to harvest 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 that are still attached to the plant, so that Gerbils can channel their inner farmer. They can harvest their own harvest and that makes for 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 delicacies. It’s like a culinary adventure right in their own gnawing paradise!

What snacks can gerbils have?

Gerbils are naturally 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 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 its own food as soon as it gets more snacks, but if the snacks have an added value and are a supplement 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, definitely! 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 search for them. In this way, snacking is combined with challenge and exercise!

TIP! Do you have a cork tunnel ? Then place something tasty, such as dried mealworms in the cracks of the cork tunnel and let the animals find them themselves and pick them out. Super fun to watch them busy!

Can you tame gerbils with snacks?

Gerbils, like all other rodents and rabbits, are quite food-driven, which means that food and therefore also snacks have a very positive stimulus 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 every day where something tasty is given to the animals can contribute significantly to the taming process of Gerbils. In this way, the animals learn that hands are not scary at all, but actually give treats. In this way, the hand and the person attached to it are experienced as positive. Fortunately, Gerbils are very curious animals, which is why they quickly come to you, reward this with something tasty 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 not 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 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 Gerbils as they do not have much access to water in their natural environment.

For our Gerbils in our home, it is important to mimic their diet as closely as possible. Adding healthy and appropriate snacks to their diet is a great way to do this. Herbal snacks often contain valuable nutrients and add extra flavor and variety to the Gerbils diet.

Use snacks for Gerbils as enrichment and challenge

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

Can Gerbils Have Too Many Treats?

Yes, just like with other pets, you should make sure your Gerbil doesn't get too many treats. Overfeeding can lead to health problems such as obesity or digestive problems. Give treats in moderate amounts and use them as a supplement to their daily diet.
