Most gerbils will LOVE seeds as they contain a lot of fat, which is why it is best to offer them as a treat, as putting them in their food can cause them to selective feed and become overweight.
Your gerbil probably sees the seeds you give them as some kind of "treasure" and so will hide them so no other gerbil can get to them.
SEEDS. YOU CAN GET RAT AND MOUSE FOOD AT YOUR LOCAL PET STORE. ALSO HAMSTER AND GERBIL FOOD.
All you need to do is take the seeds and run them under cool water and then put them on a cooking sheet then set them in a oven for 350 degrees till golden brown. or just go to the pet store and buy some.

Either your gerbil is pregnant, or they have eaten too many sunflower seeds in one sitting. Try removing sunflower seeds from their diet. If they are still fat after one week, then your gerbil is probably expecting. For info on how to take care of baby gerbils, ask on this site 'How do you take care of baby gerbils?'.
no sun flower seeds in food
Usually, gerbils love raw sunflower seeds. They gobble them up.
Why do seeds need a store food
Sorry - that's not possible ! If you bought your gerbil from a pet store - chances are it had contact with a male before you got it.
Associate it with a treat, like carrot or sunflower seeds.
