    The absolute best way is to vacuum seal them individually, but ziplok bags work too.

    I use small tupperware containers and break up all my feeders into small batches lasting a month or so each. I avoid opening any container except the one I am currently feeding from.

    Correct me if I'm wrong: the thicker the container walls, the fresher the contents? I avoid bags unless its for short term storage.

    Ive never had any probs with freezer bags even when stored a few months or so.

    thats really cool if the tuppeware keeps them from freezer burn, I think I will bag surplus and use a tupperware for a working box. when Im in and out of the bags they get holes ect, so yes Im going to try the tuppereware:gj:

    thnx for the input all:)
