Gerbils enjoy a variety of fruits and vegetables, as a supplement to their regular dry mix. The list below shows some of the foods your gerbils will enjoy, and that are safe to eat. Only offer these in small quantities - if you give them too much the gerbils will get upset stomachs.

They love sunflower seeds (only 6 or 7a day) and they will take them out of your hands. When they are young they are a bit timid and can try to bite you but they don't bite very hard. Just keep handling them everyday and they get used to you and stop biting. Good luck.
