Gerbils need a food bowl so they know where to find their food. Another reason to provide a food bowl is to ensure that the animals get enough food. In addition to a food bowl, we also recommend scattering the food around a bit for food enrichment and challenge for the animals, but there should always be a food bowl present so that the animals have a fixed place where they are guaranteed to find their food for the day.
Is a food bowl necessary for Gerbils?
Yes, we believe that Gerbils should have a fixed feeding place so that they are guaranteed to get the nutrition they need for the day. If food is offered without a food bowl, for example by scattering it around or putting it on the bedding , there is a chance that the animals will not find their portion for the day and develop a nutritional deficiency. This is aggravated by the animals' extensive digging. This causes the food to be completely mixed with the bedding and is therefore difficult to find.
A food bowl gives the Gerbils a fixed place where they know where to find their food. In addition to the food bowl, we also advise to scatter some food around for food enrichment and challenge for the animals. At DRD Gerbil Webshop we have a wide range of food bowls that are suitable for Gerbils, so you can ensure that your Gerbils always have access to their food in an organized and easy way.
Which food bowls are suitable for Gerbils?
You want a food bowl to stay in place, so a heavier ceramic food bowl is best for the animals. It is also important to place the food bowl on a plateau or other hardened area, because otherwise it doesn't matter how heavy the food bowl is, the Gerbils will happily dig it over into the ground cover.
Does the food bowl need to be filled daily?
This depends on the type of gerbil food that is given. Some manufacturers recommend refilling the food daily, while others recommend waiting until the food bowl is empty. It is best to follow the manufacturer's feeding advice for this. In addition to a food bowl, the animals also need a drinking bottle .
