Help Gerbil food please!

My gerbils do not like hardly any food I buy. I have bought all the major gerbil foods they sale and they hardly eat any of it. I do not mind what I buy as long as they will eat it. They like raw carrot, pumpkin seeds, apple, cherries and some little seeds.

Any suggestions please?

ALSO I have a Harvest Mouse and I give him wild bird seed plus dried meal worms. Does anyone know what else I can give him please?

I would appreciate any suggestions and thank you in advance

Re: Help Gerbil food please!

The best type is to buy Gerri Gerbil and supplement it with around 1/3rd of rat or hamster food. You can also use just rat food as a base. It's best to add things to the mix like wild bird seed, millet, nuts, sunflower seeds, pearl barley and usually I add in some oats too.
