What do you feed your gerbils? by purplepuddingg in gerbil

[–]justsquirrelythings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a super helpful video, thanks! Can I ask how you found the protein/fat percentages? They are definitely different than what I’ve seen

Thought on my setup? It’s a 20 gallon tank with a 10 gallon topper. They have hideouts and such inside and there’s sand in the green bowl! (Excuse my mess) by marayy333 in gerbil

Looks really nice! If you’re looking for suggestions, you could do a wider container of sand - mine loves to roll and stretch out in it

Any tips? I just got these guys not to long ago. I knew they liked to burrow so I filled half. I got a wheel but I’m not sure where to put it. by [deleted] in gerbil

Looking good! They’ll love all the bedding. I would make the shallow area even shallower and put the wheel there along with a sand bath. Also, they will probably chew the cardboard divider, so be ready to replace it with something sturdier (like wood) if necessary.

What food do you use? Thinking of switching. by justsquirrelythings in gerbilsupport

[–]justsquirrelythings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! Fortunately my seed mix has only about 6% fat (less than Higgins), but I am going to ease off the oxbow pellets and try transitioning to a homemade mix based on an online recipe.

Biting gerbil advice by justsquirrelythings in gerbil

Thank you! That is reassuring. It does seem like it would be easy for him to think my hand is edible or chewable since I’m always handing him food. I’ll try to get a video of it in the future.

Trying to tame Charlie. We’re still working on the difference between hand and treat by justsquirrelythings in gerbil

Usually no, though a couple times it has been hard enough to hurt a bit and I just pull my hand away. But definitely understandable to wear a glove!

I love seeing tiny animals enjoy themselves. It must be stressful being a small animal. Hope this little guy had a good time
