Above is the feed mix I give my gerbils, this is about twice the amount two gerbils would get. The image is blocky only because I cut the image quality way down so this would load. On crisp mode it'd take over a minute at 28.8 to load up. If you really want email me and I will send you that BIG HUGE FILE. They also get some fresh food a few times a week, not much but including apple chunks and the occasional frozen blueberry (which they think is about the best thing ever). Treats include a few cheerios each, or a few cheapo cornflakes (give all of them cornflakes and the demented munching crunching sounds strange)

(the piece of ruler is in CM, it's about 5.5 inches long) This is about three ounces heaped, or two shot glasses full and slightly rounded. This is enough for two pairs of gerbils for one day. At one week you will clean out some food, but. They have plenty to eat and dig for in the food area of the tank. (I do not use food bowls, I put the food right on the bedding in the exact middle of the tank. They dig for food as they want and seem happy) If the gerbils have a wheel and will run now and again they will not get chunky on this feed and amount. If you have a pregnant female suppliment her food with a few pieces of cat kibble from about a week before delivery to about the time she's weaning. If they seem to be getting chunky, time in a play box or exercise ball will help, as well as pick out all the pumpkin and sun seeds and watch how much treat you're giving!

White and red millet, oats, wheat, something I don't know but it's just bigger than the millet, cracked corn, rolled oats, alfalfa pellets, a reddish cereal pellet, the green and yellow-green cereal squares, and a few black stripe sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. I often pick out the sun and pumpkin seeds and hand feed them as treats at feeding time.
