Hi!
Now finally I bothered to look up millet in my dictionary. Oh dear! It's
my gerbils' beloved "Kolbenhirse"! At the moment I'm doing the same as
Molly does: mix bungie food under the gerbil food and give them a whole
millet spray now and then. They don't eat a lot of it at a time. But
they enjoy it now and then. I can't say that they get more active from
this. I mean, can you really SEE a difference?
