That is what confused me. Sorry Albert. I should have paid closer attention. I thought they only contained pure meat. Oops.

No need to say sorry. All the confusion made me giggle
I'm just waiting for Beryl to come back on and confuse it some more

No parsley in this one. Nothing wrong with parsley. Hamsters can eat parsley.

Oh. Use within 14 days! Why, didn't think that dried food could go off.

I had no idea! Surely they are okay if in an airtight container.

How much and how often can I feed Albert them? I'm concerned about the 14 day used by.

I feed one a week but Orko just seems to hide his. Hopefully Albert will like them.

That's partly why I stopped getting freeze dried meat! I think the packet lasts a long time but once it's opened it has a short shelf life. I did have some chicken ones (cat ones) and they smelled absolutely foul when they went off - I decided it was too much hassle. You'll know if they go off though. I think it's something to do with the airtight packaging preserves them but not once the air gets in.

Thats a good point! I thought they would be okay in an airtight container. When I first opened them he ignored it for a while.Does Orko hide them because they've gone off?

I've decided to give them a miss. It's not cost effective when I've only got Albert. I won't use them all up before they go off.

Good idea. He may not even like them.

Should be - I've used it before! Having said that - none of mine have ever touched it! Raffy still ignores any sprays though, including the Rosewood pick n fly ones. Dwarf hamsters may be more millet orientated perhaps 
Pip doesn't touch his either though but it isn't that brand of red millet that he has.

Albert loves millet. I saw this one and thought he might fancy a change.

I keep mine for months with no problems at all, I only break off a tiny piece which usually gets eaten at once rather than hidden in the cage.
I know it does sound worrying the 14 day thing but I’ve been using them for a few years now & it’s been fine.

Yes, it is. I give mine red millet and buy it loose in a bird shop. Didn't know Vitakraft sells red millet. That's a good find.Is this millet hamster safe?
