Do you use a Foodsaver (vacuum packing machine) for your rodents and if so do you use it EXCLUSIVELY for your rodents or do you also use it for food as well?.....Im not sure if that's a possible contamination issue or not
In my personal opinion, I would not use a foodsaver for both. Reason being is the Foodsaver sucks the juices out of the bag during the suction process which in turn requires cleanup. No way I would want those juices mixed with my food ;(

That's what I was leaning on, I figured there were some people who did it. I have a pretty tough stomach so Ill take the risk lol.
