I am going to have to buy more pellets soon. I also have the option to get a 50lbs bag of Oxbow Bunny Basics T. I usually buy 2 10lbs bags and that lasts about 3 months or so. So a 50lbs bag would last 6 months or more. Buying 50lbs would save me about $15-20 or about 35 cents/pound.
I am wondering how long pellets can last and how I can store them better.
Currently, I only open 1 bag at a time when I need to, but a 50lbs bag doesn't have that option. I know that the pellets can loose nutritional value if kept in an open bag for too long. Would dividing it into large zip lock bags help? What about putting them in the freezer? Any other ways to keep them fresh longer? Should I just buy 2 10lbs bags again.
I would only buy 1 10lbs bag at a time, but I don't go near the store that sells them very often, and the vet is too expensive for me.
Any help or insight to this would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
