New gerbil food

[gerbilicious]

I have just started using www.chateau-animaux.com/product-product_id/1263 (Sunscription Vita Gerbil Formula with Garden Vegetables). I noticed that it has a lot of sunflower seeds, so is this food safe and nutritious enough?

It looks good! Is their really much in it? I think it is good, but that is hard to tell this way. If you think that they get too much sun flower seeds, you can pick them out, and give them as treats. However, it is common for rodent/ gerbil food to contain sunflower seeds.
