Can I feed Mazuri 9F to my Gerbils?

I'm going to be picking up some Mazuri 9F for my ASF Rats next week (I hear it's the best for them), and I was wondering if I could feed this to my Gerbils as well? That would be a money saver for me.

I've been purchasing the 20# bag of rodent feed at PetCo for like $25 and it doesn't seem that the Gerbils like it too well. It's like tiny little green pellets, and nothing more. + more recently we've been losing babies left and right T_T. I'm hoping a more rounded diet of Mazuri Lab Blocks would help this issue and prevent any future losses.

Any thoughts??
 
I would add it to their seed treats. Gerbils like a seed bulk over the blocks but a little extra chewing will not hurt. Try a cocokateil blend with rolled oats "quaker" added to it.
 
In my experience gerbils prefer a seed based mix with lab blocks as treats. I used to get nice sized litters on a mix like that. (6 to 10 pups)
