If you don't know the answer then please don't respond. Anyway, I've given my gerbil carrots, hay, peaches, and apples but the problem is she won't eat them. I feel like she's getting unhealthy. Is there anyway I could get her to eat them?

My daughter's gerbil won't try new things either! I'm interested to hear ideas on this too! He sure loves cheerios!! And he will eat brocilli!

You could try like with a budgie, chop the fruit or veg into smaller pieces and then mix it in with his normal food...

Gerbils love to dig and forage. I take a paper towel roll cut it in half, and stuff it with timothy hay, and any other fruit or veggie I want them to eat. I also stuff hay and food into left over pasta boxes(recyclable ones). They will shred the box for a nest and eat the food. I have found that they love to work for thier food. I use to use a food bowl, but they would always bury it, so now I use the scatter method. I mix their bedding with timothy hay, shredded white paper and toilet tissue. I scatter their food over the bedding and then give it a quick toss. I wouldnt do this with wet, juicy fruit. But you can do this with diced carrots or small pieces of broccoli. They will find it.

I also take a piece of white paper, put the hay and veggies in the center, and then wad it up and make a ball out of it. They can smell the food and eat through the paper. I hope these ideas help.
