More Gerbils (babies)

I adopted these two little girls from my local rescue shelter. Someone had apparently dropped off 11 gerbils, most of which were babies... I’m guessing around 3-4 weeks old. I just couldn’t stand to see them in a shelter when I had an available cage and a loving home that I could give them. Both are doing great and are loving their new spacious home.

This little one is Ziva:

And Echo:

PS What do people recommend feeding them? I am using Neutriphase or something like that. Is there a better band of food that I can use?

More Gerbils (babies)

a hamster/gerbil pellet food is best
mazuri makes a good brand

it has everything in one pellet so they cant pick and choose what they want(usually the high fat foods)

and then suppliment with some seed mixture

i dont personally like nutriphase

i avoid anything with the preservitive ethoxyquin as it is known to cause cancer
