In 2015-2017, the study of the ration of tamarisk gerbil in the arid zone of the North-Western Precaspian, which use almost the entire available range of growing plant species in nutrition, was carried out. However, in each season, only a small number of plant species formed the basis of nutrition. The availability of feed resources of tamarisk gerbils in all seasons of the year is achieved both due to the natural change of vegetating plant species and due to the change of the type of feed resource (green parts of plants, bulbs, seeds, fruits and insects).
