Hey folks,
I recently got a $5 off coupon for an 8lb or larger bag of kitten food...Seeing as I currently have three kittens, I thought that I'd need 8lbs of food eventually... So, how should I preserve the unused portion? My current food container is an air-tight rubbermaid cereal container (perfect size for 4lb bag of food, but not nearly large enough for 8lbs). I have heard that you shouldn't keep opened food (even in an airtight container) for more than a month.
I was thinking about bagging the extra food into freezer ziploc bags (maybe double bagging it) and putting in our large freezer. Then I could remove it and let it defrost, about a day ahead of time, as I need it.
Do you think this would work? I hope so, as I don't foresee the kittens going through that much in a month.
Thanks, as always, for your help!
