With experience (i have two), I have found that they eat whatever and whenever they want. Just supply it with loads of food and water, they don't hoard it or stuff their pouches like hamsters. They eat it when they need it. I would say they eat approximately 15g (or less) each day (per gerbil) which is around 1/2 tablespoon or so.
