NewBird Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Hi all, Got a question about storing food. I keep Loki's (pelleted-mix) food in clear tupperware containers that I store under his cage. This morning I noticed 2 tiny moths in there - eww. This is the 2nd time I've noticed this?!?!?! I keep his room & cage super clean and the lids to the containers are secure. I don't understand why I keep finding bugs. It skeeves me out and I end up tossing (and wasting) the food. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Put the food in the freezer for at least 2 weeks. That generally kills any eggs that have hitched a ride home in the bag. A determined bug can get into tuperware. I use recycled glass pickle jars (the huge ones from a restaurant/deli) with a good fitting screw on lid for pellets. I use quart mason jars that I seal with a heated canning flat and my foodsaver for seed. (This is a great way to reuse canning flats). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I store all my bird food in the fridge, Not the freezer. Never have a moth, they can't survive or hatch in the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
