Hi everyone, I was going to write a longer email but I'm too tired. I really have to sleep. But I want to get this question off to you first.
I'm thinking of making my own seed mix for my gerbils. The reason is that I'm tired of feeding the prepackaged ones, and my gerbils disdain them. Also, it takes them so long to get through the bag that I worry about freshness before we're even halfway through a bag, and plus I would rather they have fresh stuff with no preservatives. But I don't know what type of seeds/grains to use and in what proportions. Can you please give me some tips? Has anyone done this before and what worked best? One more thing -- are butternut squash seeds the same as pumpkin and sunflower seeds in terms of fat content? I've been feeding zucchini seeds to them and they love it. My mom just gave me a bunch of butternut squash ones and I'm not sure if they are high in fat. Thanks so much, Amy The Jeu-jeu Gerbils __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send your FREE holiday greetings online! http://greetings.yahoo.com
