beans, split peas, sprouts...

Hello:

Are other dried beans okay for gerbils besides kidney.... I have seen bulk soup mixes with split and black-eyed peas are these okay.... also has anyone used sprouts...it would be easy to sprout a few of the gerbil feed seeds, sound good or not?

thanks!

Actually Im pretty sure dried beans are poisonous including kidney beans. give me a sec Ill look it up.
**sorry I cant find the info it must be on my computer which is packed :( Hopefully someone else will pop in with the information on beans being poisonous.
