I have the strawberry and banana version. I noticed that after a day they go from being the hard puff into a soft stale thing. So I just give them 24hrs worth and toss the leftovers in the morning.

I was debating mixing all the fruits together in 1 bag and freezing for use as needed? or would it stay fresh at room temp? or should i keep all fruits in their own bags? decisions decisions!

I wouldn't freeze, too much moisture.

I store them in a zip loc in a cupboard. I mix into pellet and seed for when I'm not home.

I store them in air tight containers. I mix together my dry mix once a week for the CAGs and once a month for Zena. I mix the just veggies into the food then. The dry mix is also in an air tight container.

what's in your dry mix?
Honestly, whatever I feel like putting in it each time. It's usually about 1/2 pellets, but there's usually about 3 different pellets. I order different things from Kathy each time I order and whatever I see the least of on the bottom of their cage, I continue buying. The rest of the mix has nuts, Goldenfeast mixes, Kathy mixes, other mixes, some dried fruits and veggies, sometimes I put in some hibiscus flowers. I think right now the pellets are roudybush, haggen tropical, harrison, golden obles, the baked things or some combination of those. I'll post a picture.

The CAG mix, has bigger stuff in it, also Patagonian nut mix for fats.

CAG mix and Zena mix side by side.

Zena's mix. It usually has more color, more dried fruits and veggies. This time I used a mix and only added pellets. Zena usually has Harrison pellets. This time I added Haggen tropical pellets. Sometimes I give her other pellets as well, including larger pellets for enrichment, but I usually give her the larger pellets a few at a time rather than mixing them in.

I've put goji berries in there too. Sometimes hibiscus flowers. I put in pretty much whatever comes to mind while I'm mixing it.
