Moths

[Nikki]

I just ordered a 10 pound bag of Goldenfeast for $30 & it's full of webs... I shoved it into the freezer, but I'm kind of disgusted. What should I do?


We really really need a gag icon.

They are harmless,actually, but the bag of seed might be a little old if you are already seeing the moths. You might contact the supplier to see if you can exchange it. Otherwise, the moths are not going to hurt your birds or anything. If you can't exchange it or anything don't worry about it.

Nikki Jamie is right it should be ok still.

Gag icon...

Yeah really can't see a real gag one, so I will say this one for moths.

 

[Nikki]

Jamie, the first thing I checked was the expiration date & it has almost a year to go. Just knowing they're there grosses me out <insert gag icon here>... But if you say they are harmless then I might overlook it. I know grizzly bears like to eat moths for their protein...

I know of one! I'll hunt it down if you well use it!

 

[Kristy]

Alright we need to see this gag icon.

Moths are not gag icon though. lol

Spiders, snakes, puke those are gag icon worthy.

 

[jamie]

LOL, yes they will add some extra protein. If the bag was sealed up nicely when you brought it home, the seeds are still probably ok. Did you see any signs of mold or smell anything unusual? That would be the only thing that would worry me. A couple of days in the freezer will kill the moths and any other insects that are in the bag.

with a spoon dude!

I've heard it's still ok, but I would defintely contact the supplier like Jamie said and get them to exchange it... that's just gross!!

 

[Nikki]

gag icon!

 

[Kristy]

LMBO.............Nikki I do think that little green guy is about to blow chow.

No, it was pretty gag worthy putting your hand in the bag & pulling out a handful of webs... Now I feel that I got them clinging all over me! *GAG!*

 

[Nikki]

I know, isn't great!

This one is more to the point!

I haven't really inspected it just pushed it into the freezer as fast as I could! When Trev gets home I'll make him inspect it!

 

[Kristy]

Oh boy that guy is Ralphing!!

Poor helpless little moths in your freezer wishing they had brought thier sweaters along.

 

[J*M*L]

EEEWWWWW!

I know grizzly bears like to eat moths for their protein...

Oh cool! Now I know what to feed my GBIDS!

 

[Nikki]

Oh boy that guy is Ralphing!!

Poor helpless little moths in your freezer wishing they had brought thier sweaters along.

So are you going to use them? Huh huh? Come on Kristy you know we need Mr. Gag!

Don't worry about the moths, Sunday is knitting them lil' sweaters!

 

[Kristy]

Jill added the first gag guy.

Knit, pearl, knit.........lol

 

[Nikki]

Yeah, for Jill! I didn't think you would add the second, he is kind of gross!

 

[birdergirl]

Let me speak from experience. I feed "outdoor pets" also and have lots of horror stories about "Mothra" to share. If you put it in the freezer for a few days, then whatever was alive won't be any more. Remember that all birds eat insects. It's extra protein for them, even if it grosses out us humans! MOST important is that the little buggers were contained. You don't want to go through what I did with moths (I'll share the stories another time.)

Nikki we can tell Rhonda does not need the new man.
