Thx u I just got 2 male gerbils and I was wondering is it OK to put them in a bin cage and if not what is the recommended square inches because I just got them two days ago and right now they’re in now tiny tails cage😬
@finsandwhiskers
@finsandwhiskers 4 жыл бұрын
Toni,pets,games and Gacha I would recommend at least a 20 gallon tank or 30 x 60 cm! Bin cages are risky because gerbils love to chew and are likely to chew plastic that isn’t solid. Good luck!

Mark and Courtney perry I’ve not been able to find one :/ the protein is always too high and/or marked way more towards hamsters rather than gerbils. The best I could find is Higgins sunburst and the Cunipic Naturaliss Hamster & Gerbils mix. The protein is still 2% too high though

bin and made a bin cage and that was it for a while but recently while I was doing the split cage method I realized my Gerbil Buddy has gotten fat, I felt bad because he never used a wheel and he really only ever dug holes around his bin. Now I’m working on buying a wooden wheel so he and his new friend can exercise and maybe drop a little weight. But first I need to fix his diet, can you all maybe give me some good proportions and recipes for a healthy Gerbil diet?

So unfortunately I can only recommend Cunipic Naturaliss Hamster & Gerbil, and Higgins Sunburst, but even then the guaranteed protein is still too high for adult and elderly gerbils. :( We definitely need more of a market for gerbils, as mixes are mostly aimed at hamsters, and the ones made specifically for gerbils tend to have low quality ingredients.

A quick question if you see this. I'm looking to get into owning gerbils so I am trying to do in depth research first and I was wondering, are you able to double or triple this recipe and have the percentages be the same. Like how you added 100 grams of one ingredient would you be able to do 200 instead and keep all of the other ingredients doubled as well to have more feed that you dont have to mix or purchase as often or is it better to keep it all at these measurements you have listed?

With the protein, fat and fibre percentage - is that in the overall diet or daily/weekly/monthly intake? Im trying to make my own gerbil food mix but all of the weights of the seeds turned out to be around 10-15g, whereas your were mostly 50-200g! Am I doing the fat, fibre and protein intake wrong?
@finsandwhiskers
@finsandwhiskers 4 жыл бұрын
Eventing Crystal these are the needed percentages for the overall diet! So no matter how you feed, these percentages will be met for their diet at the end whether you feed daily or every other day etc. If you were to measure the percentages specifically for feeding daily, the numbers would be smaller as you wouldn’t want to feed 7% fat in one feeding. I hope that makes sense!

Looks like it has too much protein and dyed cereals! I would suggest looking into a different brand if you can. You can make a mix like shown in this video or try finding a well rounded mix that generally sticks to crude protein of 12-14%, crude fat of 6-9% and crude fiber of 10-15%! The reason I made my homemade mix is because there really doesn’t seem to be a well rounded mix targeted for gerbils :(

As long as it’s the pure ingredient (ie- dried basil, or dill flakes, and is an herb that is gerbil safe, it will be fine! As for the flowers in the packs I used they were dried sunflower petals, rose petals, cornflowers, mallows, red clovers, etc. Anything works as long as it’s safe, it’s more for the vitamins and minerals in this mix!

hi! i dont use any pet forums, so im not sure where else to ask this. if anyone can help me at all, please reply. my gerbil (lone for a few months now) has a growth in his ear which restricted his nerve and caused a lot of the muscle in his left jaw to shrink. this made it a lot harder for him to chew, and he is losing weight because he can’t eat his normal dried mix. i recieved some liquid food from the vet which you can mix to be very liquidy, or just mushy, but my gerbil wont eat any liquid or mushy food other than banana. the only foods he will eat are seeds, if i half peel the shell (he cant crack them himself anymore), fruits and some vegetables like peas and sweetcorn, and i know this isnt healthy to feed him every day but it is all he will eat. does anyone have an idea for a daily mix i could get him, or ingredients to make my own mix that he will be able to eat? it has to be sort of in the middle in texture, neither hard or soft. i want to give him the best quality of life for what he has remaining.

@@finsandwhiskers thank you I will try to use something different to Pearl barley and also could I use something else instead of sorghum seeds because it’s hard to find? 😊

If you can find a safe seed/grain that has the equivalent nutrition value of sorghum, that’d work!

Laura I would say a month and a half if you feed 2-3 tablespoons every two days, but you can always make larger amounts!

These are all great ingredients to “stretch” existing rodent diets with. Variety is a good thing to prevent nutritional deficits. Small seeds like sesame and quinoa will sink to the bottom while light things like dried veggies will come to the top of the container

Can hamsters have this too or just gerbils?

Just gerbils, this recipe was made specifically for the nutritional requirements of gerbils, as hamsters have higher protein and fat needs.
