Maggots in my gerbil food please help?!?

it sounds like they are maggots from a little moth, i can't remember the name of it but if your gerbil food has nuts in it then it is more than likely moth maggots, the moth lays its eggs on nuts and the maggots eat them as they hatch, they are a nightmare to get rid of, the best thing you can do is too buy some fresh food and get rid of the food you have, keep the food in an air tight container to stop the moth laying again, the moth in question is about a 2 mm big and a grey color with slight black markings, i am not sure if they will hurt your gerbil but they will eat through the food and it will get a slight musty smell to it, i personally would just bin the lot to be on the safe side
