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.
