You can give your gerbils SMALL amounts of Apples, Carrots, Spinich, Peas, Almonds, Sunflower Seeds and VERY SMALL amounts of Peanut Butter and Honey, maybe once or twice a week. You can also give them the occasional piece of poped corn, ( how to do that is you put a few pieces of unpoped, unsalted or flavored pop corn and never put oil on it, and then just put the pieces in a brown paper bag and put it in the microwave until it pops. I have not tried this yet, but of what I have read, it works. ) And grapes. Maybe cut a grape in half and give the gerbil half a grape maybe twice a month or so.

I know my gerbils like just pain apple sauce.It is hard to find something that all six of my gerbils will eat, but they all will eat apple sauce! A good treat mix for them is to cut a slice of apple into little chunks and put it in a bowl and mix it with a little bit of peanut butter and a few drops of honey. It sounds gross, but my gerbils sure like it! They also like non-instant oatmeal, just plain old fashioned oatmeal. I give my gerbils each about two grains of it ( the grains are pretty big for a gerbil! ) every now and then.

Oh, you should NEVER feed your gerbils citrus fruits, lettuce ( it can cause wet tail if too much is eaten ), I think potatoes, i don't think they're good for gerbils, and NEVER feed them salted or oiled pop corn, chips, cheesepuffs, tortillas, etc. none of that is good for them. You should never give them lots of any treat stuff, give it to them as treats, not full meals. :)
Well, that's all that I can think of that they can eat from anyone's pantry...
Hope this helps!

Gerbils will eat almost any fruit or veggie you give to them. Apples and celery are good for gerbils because they have a high water content.
