Pretty much and fruits and vegetables, as well as seeds and live insects. Stay away from lettuce, citrus fruits and high water content foods.

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.

Typically, they eat gerbil food purchased at your local pet store, but they will also eat miscellaneous fruits and vegetables.

Gerbils will eat lots of things. They eat gerbil food from pet stores, lettuce, and a lot of other human foods.
