WHat you guys store food in?

[randro]

Hey i was just wondering what you guys store food in because my dogs will eat food if it is left out. arrot:

 

[addictedtochins]

I store mine in these huge 5 gallon heavy duty zip-lock bags, I guess in your case a plastic tote with a lid should work

 

[Ash]

I store my food in those huge rubbermaid containers w/ lids. But I also have 6 chinchillas and feed my sisters' 2 and my parents' 3, so that's a total of 11 chinchillas being fed. We buy by the 50lb bags haha.

I do the same as Ash but with a 25lb bag. A big Tupperware should do for a single chin house hold.

I store it in a large pet food storage container thingy that you can buy at the pet store. Sorta like this http://www.petco.com/product/12461/...re-Pet-Food-Storage.aspx?CoreCat=OnSiteSearch. I have one for the dog food and another for the chin food, so no one ends up eating the other's food (cause my dog would totally chow down on chin chow).

I bought a 50# bag. Fill up a gallon size container sold for bird seed that has a spout on the lid for daily refills. Like this one: http://www.stacksandstacks.com/bird-seed-dispenser-double-pack
The rest is sealed in portions in food saver type bags and frozen to preserve.

oh I forgot that I recently bought a cereal dispenser like the bird seed thingy BoundNoFtWal has. I use that for ever day and when it runs out I refill it from the big rubbermaid container.

I use Vittles Vaults - holds a whole 50 lb bag of food and is sealed shut so nothing gets in there that's not supposed to. AND, they stack! 1 for food, 1 for dust....

I buy food in 50 pound bags and use this.

Very similar to what Al uses.

I leave my feed and cubes in the bags they come in but use these containers, (free from a friend) for dusts and anything I want to keep clean. The old style had a lid that opened half way, very useful.

I've always wanted to try these, when I was looking I couldn't find them anywhere.

I also use the Vittles Vaults. I have one for dust, one for feed, and one for hay cubes, although I keep the lid slightly open on the hay cube container. I store loose hay in a cardboard box.

I use something similar to this. The ones I have I got at Walmart, they are made by Richell and are airtight and keep the food fresh and bug free. The big one with wheels holds a 50 lb bag of food, but they also come in a smaller size.

I keep everything in the bags they come in, as well. Dust is kept in the chin closet, so the bag is just folded down and it doesn't get dirty. I open a bag of feed(5olbs), and it only sits a few days so I am not worried about it being in the bag.

I go to the dollar store and they have the XXXL zip lock bags. I can put a whole bag of PANR in it. I can force the excess air out of it so it is likely to stay fresher longer. I take some out and just leave it until I need more.
