Gerbil treats

[Laura O'Brien]

Sarah wrote recently about using seeds as treats for her gerbils
until they started getting too fat.  I'm trying to tame a family of
school gerbils (lots of being passed around a bunch of 11 year olds
makes them a bit jumpy).  I've found that plain Rice Krispies and
Corn Flakes work as a treat to tempt the gerbils onto my hand.  Also,
sprays of millet seeds are popular, and I don't think they are too
fattening.  Perhaps this would work for others.
