Buying pellets in bulk

Now with 4 bunnies I’m wondering whether to go for the biggest bag of pellets. It would seem that Beans’ hay tastes are quite expensive :lol: so I’m trying to save a bit of money here and there, but would these large bags of pellets keep? I know it would take a while to go through, would it be better to just go for smaller bags? I normally transfer the pellets into a food container but wouldn’t be able to put a whole big bag in a container
 
I buy big sacks of food and dispense it into airtight tubs.
Yes, I do similar. I only have the two and they have about a scoop a day every day, and the 10kg bag lasts from bought and put straight into use to best before date (give or take about 18m) with no issues. I decant into an easier-to-use tupperware and scoop out of that, and then tie the bag like I would a compost bag or similar, so I twist the top and lasso with string.
 
With mine I never thought it would be worthwhile -at an eggcupful a day each the cost was pretty insignificant compared with the cost of buying really good hay.
