There are
commercial diets available for gerbils that you can use. However, these
diets tend to have a high content of sunflower seeds, which are very
fattening. It is a good idea that you try to get one that contain less
sunflower seeds, or pick out the sunflower seeds from the diet. You can save
this are give them as treats (a great way to tame them!). Also, you should
supplement this diet with fresh or dried fruits and veggies. I have found
that my gerbils like apple, carrots, grapes, raisins, different types of
dried fruits, banana, etc. Also, you can offer them cereals like Cheerios or
Rice Krispies (avoid cereals with sugar added).
Remember that your gerbils should always have fresh water available. This
can be provided in a dish or a water bottle. A water dish usually ends up
covered in litter, so it is way better to get a bottle for them.
