At your local pet store, there should be something called bath dust. It works great with gerbils. Just put a little bit in an enclosed container with a lid. Then, cut a hole in the lid so they can get in and out. Make sure it can fit in their cage. It's okay if they start chewing through the container. I prefer a GLAD container. They will clean themselves in the bath dust.
