Mine all love the sunflower seeds. And sicne they don't usually get many in their feed, it is a treat for them. Pumpkin seeds are next on the list

My boys love fresh blueberries! It's their favourite summer treat but obviously they don't get them to regularly, maybe once a week during the summer months (when they're in season as I try not to buy un seasonal fruits/veg) and make sure they're well washed. ;D.
Oddly my brother’s gerbils don’t really like any fruit or veg, fresh or dried! They always leave the dried peas/corn in their Gerri mix and I think the only fresh stuff they’ve ever eaten has been cucumber. They do love their pumpkin seeds though.

Mine love pumpkin seeds. My girls were hand tamed withthem, but they're especially fattening, so I don't feed too many...

my gerbs love pine kernels, but pine kernels is probably the reason for Ash's enourmous bulk too but of course they like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds but only Dusty likes almonds

I sometimes give mine a tiny bit of cheese, they eat it but don't get overly excited about it like they do sunflowers.

Oh, mine also like dried corn on the cob! It's the girl's first time trying it ever, and they love it! I've never tried cheese because I thought it was too fattening for them, I ought to. What kind of cheese do you use Andrea? Occasionally I have fed them whipped cream, in tiny amounts. They love it, but always need a bath afterwards.

Usually when i grate cheese for something i'll give them half a sliver. I buy regular chedder (aged if i can). I also give frozen veggies in the summer time, like Broccoli. Oh, they also all love Spray Millet, that is fun to watch them all eat, like a family dinner.

1. Peas (yeah, I don't get it either, but this is clearly number one in their opinion)
2. The usual seeds and nuts, probably because they never get any: peanuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds, in that order
3. Crunchy grains, like Cheerios, bits of rye crisp, Kashi, puffed kamut, or puffed rice. I think they like the texture.
