Can I buy fresh coconut for my gerbil ? With or without the meat ? If not , do I need dry the coconut completely before giving to gerbils ?

Thanks for reaching out about your gerbils. Coconut should be okay to offer in small quantities. Gerbils have fairly sensitive gastrointestinal tracts. All dietary changes or additions should be made slowly. Good luck.
