Gerbils should feed daily but only what they can eat in a single day.
Give your gerbils things to chew on and keep their teeth short.
Make sure that the cage is escape-proof and safe.
Fresh foods should be removed and replaced each day.
Always counted your gerbils daily to make sure all are there. Also check for signs of illness, injury, or fighting daily.
