Question

The pellets should be as fresh as possible when purchased and should bepurchased in relatively small quantities. The pellets should be storedin the refrigerator to prevent premature spoilage. Pellets that willprobably not be used within 2 months of purchase should be frozenimmediately after purchase. Refusal to eat rancid pellets is arelatively common cause of inappetence among rabbits.

.. I saw this article on an internet site. Does any one hererefregirate there pellets? I honestly dont. Should I start torefregirate them?

If anyone was wondering..here is the sitehttp://www.ahc.umn.edu/rar/MNAALAS/Rabbits.html

Pellets don't last long enough here with seven bunns.

When it was just Apollo, I bought those gallon freezer bags andrationed it and kept it in the fridge. It worked really good for me. Iheard the same thing.

I recommend freezing the pellets in ziplock bags if you won't be using it quickly.

We go through 700 lbs. a month and buy once a week. I store it in a large bin that holds approx. 200 lbs.
