Can you tell me how many critter cubes a day (approximately) gerbils and hamsters eat daily? I am tired of the waste when I change food every day.

You shouldn't be changing the food daily. Hamsters and gerbils are notorious hiders. If you only have a couple of them, the most you should be changing is once every three days or so. Reusing the cubes you find is also fine. Regardless of how much you feed, your little friends are going to store their food. Waiting to change or refill their bowls is ok. Filling their bowls, and then alternating days you change or refill it is not going to hurt your critter. Try the alternating food refill or change and see if this helps save on the food bill. Hope this helps and good luck.

I HAVE to change the food daily. I am a rescue/pocket pet breeder. Right now I have rows an rows of cages. It is not considered sanitary by the USDA to leave food in the cage. And that is true even though they are hoarders. I have volunteers that feed and put huge bowlfulls in and I need to be able to give specific directions. Since it has to be USDA safe, I cannot re-use food.

then depending on how many you have per cage-you should only be giving 1/2 a cup per cage per day. Next time be more specific when asking about this type of thing, it will help answer the question better. I know what you mean about the rescue program, I have done it too. Although, the way you stated your question, it sounded like you were just a pet owner-not a rescuer. Since you are changing daily 1/4-1/2 a cup daily, should be more than enough. Hope this is a little better for you. Good luck and ahppy rescuing!!!
