Mine loves brown rice. Have you tried Mealworms? Quite good to fatten up a gerbil.

I just hold the worms with tweezers and my gerbils grab them and eats them. Good protein and fats in mealworms... but then many feel icky with mealworms. I got a lot coz I feed my hedgehog and leopard gecko with mealworms.
