AboutShawntiah Jones Expertise I have great knowledge in many small and furry animals such as hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, chinchillas, guinea pigs, rabbits and ferrets. I have taken care all of these animals and have great knowledge in appropiate cage sizes as well as food and health.
Experience I no longer work at pet store. because I am now working at a hospital, but I worked in the petcare department for a year and was the petcare lead of my department. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. I also own many types of animals.
Question Hi, My gerbil has recently had her two front teeth taken out and am struggling on what to feed her. I have tried sunflower seeds which she now wont eat. I have tried peas, organic baby food, chopped nuts and banana, but i really need some other food to feed her as she has lost alot of weight and i need something fatty to suplement her untill her teeth grow back. Thanks

Answer Hello Maddison,
have you tried bread soaked in milk? The milk can add weight to the gerbil. Anything that's soft will help her out and you can try feeding anything that is soft nd you can also give her Oasis vitamin drops which you can put in her water. There's not much you can do but to make sure she at least gets something in her stomach even if it's not much.
