As another reviewer pointed out, gerbils will gorge on high fat foods, which is unhealthy for them. When I opened the bag, the sunflower seeds were all at the top. Had I scooped this into their bowl, it would have contained 50% sunflower seeds. That would be like me eating bacon for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I give my gerbils at most 3 sunflower seeds a day.
If you have a gerbil, I recommend Gerri Gerbil food. It is the only food I have found that is made just for gerbils. My gerbils love it and they all look healthy. I have found that different sellers have it available at different times, so I check for a good deal and prime shipping.
Also, the seeds looked dry to me. We purchased bulk raw, unsalted sunflower seeds from our grocery store that look much fresher. When I offered my gerbil a seed from the Kaytee bag, he didn't take it.
I ended up giving this food to a friend with a hamster.
