Food Question

Postby AquaaAllure » Mon Jun 09, 2014 7:19 am

So I currently do not have a bluey yet but I'm getting ready. When thinking about it, no bluey can eat a full dog food can in one meal. So people say to freeze it, but how long can it be frozen? Also, if it has veggies doesn't that take out the vitamins from the veggies? I know this is a dumb question :l

no,it isn't a dumb question...It's kind of important...I used use dog food and thought about the same question...I kept the food in fridge for less than one week and it‘s safe,but I'm not sure about vitamins...

I was worried about the same thing, but I went to the local pet store the other day to see what they had to offer and found that they sell tiny cans of Merrick dog food for little dogs. It wont be eaten all in one go, but its less likely to go bad. But now I am wondering what to do with snails. I'm getting a can of snails and it says that it lasts one week after being opened, but I doubt that they will all be eaten in one week :/ can they also be frozen?

If you can find an Asian store in your area they usually sell them.
