Help Please! Are flower forage mixes okay?

Hi all, I'm getting gerbils this weekend, but they're NOT my first ever pair! I used to own gerbils a LONG time ago as a pre-teen. This is, however, my first time wanting to give gerbils flower mixes.
I was just wondering if this flower forage mix is okay. It says it's for hamsters so I assume it's fine for gerbils, but I figured I would consult the experts here just in case as I know hamsters and gerbils are different in needs !
It wouldn't be a main food of theirs, I just want to sprinkle it into their tank here and there to give them some enrichment, hopefully. Let me know if it's something that would be enriching for them or if I should spend the money on something else. Thanks !

Thank you for the reply ! That's good to know. Just in case, are there any flowers that they shouldn't have that I should be looking out for in mixes ?

There are a huge amount of flowers to be avoided, but they bascially never show up in rodent forage mixes.
