Commercial gerbil foods are filled with preservatives and unnecessary additives, so if you're looking to go 100% organic- making your own gerbil mix is the best way to go. We've created the best recipe to include all of the necessary parts of a gerbil's diet (filled with things they'll actually eat!).
