Would a cat eat a gerbil2007-11-25 12:33:19Answers:

yes if given the oppertunity it will. keep the cage in a room that is off limits to the cat to be on the safe side.

---

Yep and they would LOVE it

---

cats will eat about anything.

---

i don't think so

---

Oh yes they can. The cat thinks the gerbil is rat or a mouse. If you have a gerbil or gerbils, keep it in an aquariium, and keep the aquarium in a place where the cat don't see it. I almost had a cat eat a gerbil one time by trying to get into the cage.

---

I asked my cat --- he said no --- he prefers to have his meal already skinned and de-headed.

---

Yes, unless it is just a lazy good for nothing cat that isn't interested in mice or birds or anything elso. If you value the gerbil, I wouldn't try it.

---

hell yeah, they call those "fast food".

---

Yes it will if there is nothing else to eat or no one around while the gerbil is unprotected.

Cats are natural hunters. They will eat rodents. I've seen them do it.

---

Yes. It's in their nature to hunt rodents (which is what a gerbil is) and birds.

---

Most likely yes.

---

if ur cat doesnt eat at least he will kill it so dont worry.. lol

my cat ate my turtles and they were on a fish tank cats menage to take em out of thehir cager and play with em

---

A cat would eat a gerbil. It's a rhodent, which cats are instinctively honed in to hunt.

If you have a gerbil, consider getting it a secure cage, and keeping the cat out of the room it lives in.

Good luck!

I think so..If they'll eat a rat they will eat a gerbil.
