Best type of gerbil food?

[moonlight7wolf]

Hi, I'm getting my gerbils sometime today, and I just wanted to know what the best food for them is, (or best foods - because my store may not carry everything). 

I fed my hamster ecotrition, but then heard something about it containing onions which are toxic to rodents. So what do you think are the best gerbil foods.

Thanks!

Tropical Carnival and Oxbow healthy handfuls are both good brands

Okay, I got tropical carnival for my gerbs. Thanks!

Congrats on your new gerbs! If you're still open for suggestions for the next bag, I feed mine Hagen Hamster and Gerbil mix. It's organic, super healthy and my two boys love it! I pick out the sunflower and pumpkin seeds to use as treats.
