JR Farm Gerbil Schmaus Complete Gerbil Food

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

The package contains 600 grams. How long this will last 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 30 to 37 days.

Why choose JR Farm Gerbil Schmaus?

Good gerbil food must suit the natural behavior of gerbils. Gerbils are active diggers and gatherers. They enjoy searching for small food particles, take food to their 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 Gerbil Schmaus contains several types of millet, such as silver millet, La Plata millet, Managie millet, Senegalese millet, and red mohair millet. Additionally, the mix contains dari, milo, grass seeds, canary grass seed, maize, wheat flakes, rice, pea flakes, wild seeds, wheat, maize flakes, flaxseed, buckwheat, carob, sunflower seeds, hemp seed, spelt, and oats, among others.

Animal protein sources are also present. The composition includes Hermetia larvae and silkworm pupae, 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 addition of carrot, fennel seed, mung beans, milk thistle seed, black cumin seed, and rosehip gives the mix extra aroma, flavor, and variety. As a result, the food remains appealing to gerbils, who enjoy being actively engaged with their food.

For which animals is this food suitable?

JR Farm Gerbil Schmaus 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.

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

Feeding & use

Feed JR Farm Gerbil Schmaus as the daily staple 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 level, condition, group size, and eating habits of your gerbils.

Only refill the food bowl when it is almost empty. Give a maximum amount of food daily that is largely eaten within 24 hours. This way, you keep better track of what your gerbils actually eat and prevent them from constantly picking only their favorite parts.

Gerbils often enjoy searching for their food. Therefore, you can place part of the portion in a bowl and scatter another part through 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.

What does this compound mean?
