Hi, Nikki,
In addition to the ever-popular sunflower seeds, our two gerbils loved to
hoard and eat any kind of nut meats (peanuts, walnuts, pecans, cashews, etc.
- washed of any salt), bits of cheese, cooled cooked pasta or rice, and
canned mandarin oranges. They also liked (but not as much) raisins, bits of
apple or banana, and crumbs from the bottom of breakfast cereal boxes (they
really liked the sweetened kind, but I don't imagine refined sugar is good
for them, so we limit them to stuff like Shredded Wheat and Wheaties). Happy
gerbilling!
Bye for now,
Mo
