My gerbil is sick. How much and how often should I syringe feed?

Question

I was told to force feed my very I'll gerbil I'm not sure how many ml of baby food to syringe feed her at once or how often they weren't specific I also ground up Gerri gerbil with water to force feed her not sure if it differs. Pet's info: Other | Unknown - Other | Female | unspayed

You can feed your gerbil 1/2-1 ml of food at a time. You can do this every 2-3 hours. Don't syringe the food in too quickly because the he may not be able to swallow it quickly. Just place little amounts on the tongue for him to swallow on his own. I hope this helps. Good luck.
