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

    Re: Best way to store feeders

    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.
