Are flies actually safe for gerbils to eat? I have quite a few in the house thanks to all the kids running in and out, so usually I splat them. If they're safe, I'd like to give them to the gerbils, but if they don't catch them, I'm afraid of the next stage.
I had an interesting experience with mealworms. I still buy them, but I dumped about 6 of them into a tank which housed 8 gerbils. Those things burrowed under the aspen and I guess all but one was found because one day I went through there and something was flying in the cage. A friend of mine said it was a beetle. I screamed, ROFL! I made him pull it out - but okay, I'm weird and that was freaky!
