Sega having a sunflower seed
Feeding gerbils by hand is a great way to build trust with them.
Gerbils are wonderfully inquisitive critters but you might find when you first purchase them they run away the minute you get too close. Start by holding a piece of food through the bars of the cage (sunflower and pumpkin seeds always go down a treat!) and with a bit of patience they'll begin to trust you enough to take the food from you. When they do so, then begin putting your hand inside the cage with a treat. Finally once they're confident with that start holding out your palm and placing the treat on there and eventually they'll be happy to climb onto your hand for food. It's a great way to start to build trust between you and your gerbils. |
