ricmonddan Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hi, Is it OK to put back out, the following day, the uneaten food for the day? I use Omlet's organic feed for info. Cheers Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I fill my feeders and leave them out until they are empty. The only time I throw out uneaten food is if it's obviously not going to get eaten because they don't like it or if it's got wet and therefore could go mouldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I leave it to but when I refill the peanut I tip the old stuff to one side and refill the other so I know it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar1a Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I was giving fresh food every day but then I changed the feeder and don't have to now. I just make sure they've got enough to see them through the day and top it up when I take it out at night. Obviously if the leftover food was contaminated in some way, I'd have no hesitation in throwing it away and providing all fresh the next day.

gavclojak Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I fill my feeders once a week, any food that's left gets made into a porridge at the end of the week when the feeders are popped into the dishwasher and replenished when clean and dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I top my feeders up daily but try to let them be emptied once in a while so I know there's no ancient food lurking at the bottom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hmmm that is an interesting idea... Will have a try at that. Just in illustration: I had a birdfeeder up with grower pellets, which I bought during their non-laying time for a bit of a protein boost. They ignored it all this time up till last week. They emptied it in two days and now I keep refilling that one in stead of their normal pellets. Never thought about those pellets anymore but they liked them all the same. Do have to say it is a hanging closed feeder and the pellets can't get wet in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Just make sure to clear out any stale or mouldy pellets; never use damp feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
