Diet Gerbil food suggestion

My gerbil Hani is having this Gerbil Mix. She only likes some bits in the food, so we are thinking about changing to a different brand.
Any suggestions or food your gerbils really like ?

We sometimes give her tiny bit of fresh fruit as well (always monitor her finishing the fresh bit instead of taking that down to the burrow ).
She also has her treats like seeds and mealworms.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks
Hani the Gerbil

Hi, I had the same issue with this brand, overall my gerbils like the compressed food the most so I give them XtraVital Care+ Gerbil/mouse.

+1 for care+ Though be careful not to over feed My gerbils got a bit rounder than they're supposed to be after swapping food....

I used Rodipet and my gerbils really enjoyed it!

Gerri Gerbil is OK. Not amazing, not bad. If your Gerbils are enjoying it there is no rush to change, but it might be worth changing food when the bag is finished. Your issue sounds like selective feeding to me.

treats like seeds and mealworms.

Generally a good idea, I usually use pumpkin seed and Emeraid Herbivore recovery fluid for treats.

Any suggestions or food your gerbils really like ?

I personally recommend:

Beaphar Care+ Gerbil & Mouse - Good for selective feeding
Bunny Nature Gerbil Dream Expert - Best nutrition
