JR Farm Food Gerbil Complete Gerbil Food

JR Farm Food Gerbil is a complete mixed food for gerbils. The mix contains various types of millet, grains, seeds, vegetables, and animal protein sources such as Hermetia larvae, silkworm pupae, mealworms, and shrimp. As a result, this food is well-suited to gerbils as active omnivores who enjoy searching, gathering, peeling, and nibbling.

The package contains 500 grams. How long this lasts depends on the number of gerbils and the daily portion. As a practical guideline, you can calculate with approximately 8 to 10 grams of food per gerbil per day. For two gerbils, one package is therefore sufficient for about 25 to 31 days.

Why choose JR Farm Food Gerbil?

Good gerbil food must suit how gerbils eat and live. Gerbils are active diggers and gatherers. They enjoy searching for small seeds and food particles, take food to their nest or stash, and spend a lot of time peeling, sorting, and nibbling. A mixed diet with different textures therefore makes daily feeding more interesting than just eating from a bowl.

JR Farm Food Gerbil contains several types of millet, including silver millet, La Plata millet, Managie millet, Senegalese millet, and red mohair millet. Additionally, the mix contains dari, milo, canary grass seed, grass seeds, wheat flakes, rice, pea flakes, wild seeds, wheat, corn flakes, oats, flaxseed, buckwheat, carob, sunflower seed, hemp seed, spelt, sesame seed, amaranth, and blue poppy seed.

Animal protein sources are also present in this food. The composition includes Hermetia larvae, silkworm pupae, mealworms, and shrimp, among others. This suits gerbils well, as they are not strict herbivores. They have a broader diet than, for example, guinea pigs or rabbits.

The vegetable and herb ingredients, such as carrot, parsnip, beetroot, tomato, bell pepper, courgette, cucumber, parsley, marigold, and dill seed, provide extra variety in scent, colour, and taste. As a result, the mix remains attractive to gerbils who enjoy being active with their food.

For which animals is this food suitable?

JR Farm Food Gerbil is suitable for gerbils. The food is intended as a complete daily staple food and can be given in a food bowl or partially scattered in the enclosure to stimulate natural foraging behavior.

This food is not intended for guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, or degus. These are herbivores with a different feeding pattern. For mice, hamsters, and rats, we recommend a food specifically formulated for those species.

Feeding & use

Give JR Farm Food Gerbil as the daily main food. As a practical guideline, you can assume approximately 8 to 10 grams of food per gerbil per day. The correct amount also depends on the age, activity, condition, and eating behavior of your gerbils.

Gerbils often enjoy searching for their food. Therefore, you can place part of the portion in a food bowl and scatter another part throughout the bedding, in a digging area, between tunnels, or on a foraging spot. This immediately turns feeding into a natural activity.

Are you switching from a different food? Then gradually mix the new food with the old food. A gentle transition of about 7 to 10 days helps your gerbils get used to the new smell, taste, and composition.
