Food storage tubs

What do people use? recently my naughty bunnies have been jumping on the shelf and helping themselves out of the sack, so need a more secure place to keep it!
 
In the days when they had pellets I used a normal plastic food box. It was great for keeping them fresh, and it didn't encourage mice the way an open bag does.
 
i have an upright plastic cereal container for pellets, if you store more than that i also store dried grass in a storage box with a secure lid ;)

Yep I do too. My large square containers hold a 4kg Oxbow bag perfectly!

I use a large tub with a lid on to store my wild bird seed in - it holds about 13kg.

(( The Birdfood Storage Tub )) was from Haiths - it seems to keep contents fresh and dry if it's a sack you're wanting to store.

the plastic cerreal ones, i got them from the poundstore, they are great, also have one for the litter wooden pellets
 
I use Really Useful Boxes (RUBs) - they're great. I have two 18 litre boxes, which fit a medium bag of pellets each, then I have the 35 litre box, which their wood pellets go in. They're really sturdy and secure and they also stack.
 
I've just got a stack of tupperware type square buckets from the sandwich box section at the Range. Biggest is 10 litres @ £2.50. There is one about half this size @ £1.50. Also matching 3 litre cereal dispensers.

Nice and stackable when full or empty. White lids have a good seal to keep the damp / furries out and the food fresh. I use blue washing powder jugs as measures in each container. Label containers with permanent marker, or cut the front of the sack up and store it in the transparent bucket- I can't tell the difference between G Pig pellets and cat food otherwise.

I now have all the dry animal food in them. A big sack fills 2-3 big 'buckets' (ie cat food, rabbit food in 10 -15kg sacks.) Smaller quantities are in the smaller 'buckets' (ie mice and chipmunk food). The special diets are in the cereal dispensers.
 
I got a dogfood tupperware from pets at home, it was tall and bucket sort of shapes, with a clicky lid and a handle.
 
I use big storage tubs/boxes with lids cos I bulk buy pellets!

Also have some eukanuba bins (didnt buy the eukanuba though,my mum did!)
 
I use cheap storage bins from wilkinsons, have about 7 of them for all the various bunny things.
 
I use a proplan dog food container for pellets, it holds a 10kg bag and is air tight. And if I only buy a smaller bag of pellets I've got a proplan container thats like a cereal container. Treat hay and dried grass goes in a Royal Canin airtight tub (can you tell I once worked in a pet shop and took all the freebies!:lol:) Regular hay goes in a cotton drawstring bag I made myself. And treats/dried herbs etc go in smaller storage tubs that I got from Ikea - I think it was a 17 piece set for £2.99 :D
