I make my own gerbil granola with the following ingrediants: hay pellets millet cracked corn whole wheat grains rolled oats (all my gerbils like these) dehydrated carrots
I think that is everything. I make large batches, then vaccume seal it in smaller pouches to keep it fresh. Weaning pups usually go for the rolled oats and millet seeds. I sprinkle a little powdered milk and/or powder egg on the granola for the nursing moms and the weaning pups. Without soy or nuts the only other protien I can think of is eggs, powder or boiled, and the worms I've been reading about on the lists. (I haven't fed my gerbils worms, but I am not allergic to soy or nuts either.) For treats, I give nuts & sunflower seeds, fresh and/or dehydrated vegetables & fruit. Most of mine like dried apple pieces. I hope this helps.
