There are two different patterns of feeding rhythm of the diurnal gerbil, Meriones hurrianae during summer and winter seasons in the Indian desert. The feeding activity is restricted to two phases (6 to 11 a.m.; 4 to 7 p.m.) in summer with an intermediate phase (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.) of complete rest inside the burrow systems. In winter, feeding continues uninterrupted from 6.45 a.m. to 5.15 p.m. During summer, increase in air and or soil temprature suppresses the food intake and general activity of rodents, whereas the rise in these climatic parameters promotes feeding among gerbils during winter season. Two distinct peaks of the feeding cycle during summer (6-9 a.m.; 5-7 p.m.) as well as winter (8-10 a.m.; 3-5 p.m.) periods can be chosen as suitable timings for laying poison baits inside burrows of gerbils. |
