Start with a fortified pellet blocks (like Oxbow Healthy Handfuls), and occasionally add a sprinkle of seed mix (pumpkin, flax, sunflower, etc) for interest and variety. Your gerbil's diet should also be supplemented with fresh fruit and veg (like romaine, chicory, carrots, dandelion leaves, apples). You can even give them wholegrain bread or dog biscuits occasionally.
