I store mine in a sealed container in a cool and dry place.I am thinking about buying a 25 pound bag of mazuri tortoise food. I just do not want it to go rancid on me before I use it all. Can I freeze it? Or what would everyone recommend?
How long does it stay If it is sealed? I've got a couple 5 gallon food safe buckets with very tight lidsI store mine in a sealed container in a cool and dry place.

I bet you'd be good for 6-12 months... more if you put in some oxygen grabbing pouches.How long does it stay If it is sealed? I've got a couple 5 gallon food safe buckets with very tight lids

I don't know where in Virginia you are located but if you are close to Colonial Beach I can give you some instead of buying a 25 pound bag. I have plenty and willing to share.I am thinking about buying a 25 pound bag of mazuri tortoise food. I just do not want it to go rancid on me before I use it all. Can I freeze it?

Alright sounds good to me. I will just buy a 25 pound bag since they aren't super priceynice! another Virginian.
But yeah my 25lbs so far so good but is only been 1 month
Sounds good to me. I have a couple 5 gallon food safe buckets with twist safe lids I think I will just store it in thereI routinely purchase 25# bags & store about 1/2 the quantity in rubbermaid type containers. I fill them up, seal the lid. Last ‘til i need. im sure you could just seal in large gallon ziploc bags - out of the sun & out of heat/humidity. Mine have never smelled funky.
I wish we were closer because I would take you up on that offerI don't know where in Virginia you are located but if you are close to Colonial Beach I can give you some instead of buying a 25 pound bag. I have plenty and willing to share.
Yep. A nice high quality sealed container.I store mine in a sealed container in a cool and dry place.

I save the empty mazuri bags because they are good for putting banana trees in for people that I give them to that are not able to get in the ground right away. So I checked to see about the expiration date on them. What I found was some are not marked, some have experation dates, and some have both manufactured date and expectation date. The last 3 I got had no information on them. I've never had bugs or any fungus in a bag of mazuri and I leave it in the original bag.I believe there is an expiration date on the tag or somewhere on the bag. I believe it's good for about a year. I keep mine in a large plastic container that seals with a rubber seal. First bag I bought I left in the bag and notice, after some time I seen little bugs in the bag. Have not seen any bugs since I started using the plastic container.
