feed storage

[skysthelimit]

That's what I do with the oats and BOSS, with the pellets that would hard to fit and to scoop from. Pellets are the only thing I empty directly into the cans, because they don't stay there long.

Sky. I'm working on storing a years worth of grain so I'm being very picky about storage containers

I have metal cans in the rabbit barn and growout area. When I mix up large quantities of my grain I put it back in the feed bags and tape them shut. I have a "feed shed", so I just stack them up.

In the dog side of the barn, where the freezer would go, the outside of the current fridge molds.

You could use silica gel desiccant. It is reusable- just pop it into a 200 degree oven until it dries out.

We get food grade buckets from a shop that sells smoothies- we pay $1 per bucket with lid. They are about 3 gallons, I think. We use them for our bulk food storage. I have too many rabbits for them to be of use storing their feed... although I think I will put my flax seed in some, since I bought 50lbs and it should last a while.

If I had any sisters, I would want them to be like all of you ladies. You have some really cool ideas.
