Hi,

I give my gerbils a bit of fresh carrot sometimes, but was wondering what other fresh foods is it safe to give them?

Mine love cabbage, peas and broccoli. They wont touch any other veg or fruit.
They also like cooked pasta, mealworms, chicken and baby food as a very rare treat.

Broccoli, Cauliflower, Apple, Pear, Banana, Strawberries, Green beans, Peas, Baby Corn, Berries - cranberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries) Peppers, Parsnip, Grapes (stick to half a grape per gerbil) to name but a few.

Brilliant!! Thank you so much - great advice as usual. Gerbs prepare to be spoiled!!

Awww no problem! How are the boys settling in? I'll bet they enjoy their new home being spoilt

I think they love it, they're getting braver each day. They took some food from my hand yesterday and today. I stuck my hand in before and they were sniffing it. I kept moving my fingers slowly so they wouldn't bite me, but they didn't try to. They're still a bit jumpy but still getting used to me. I'll post photos soon - promise!

That's great. They are lovely and don't bite at all Very nice boys who I'm sure will reward you with their trust with you putting the time into them.
