Use by date on seeds.

[owain20]

Hi Guys,

What effects will it have on budgies if you feed them seed that is past the use by date? Im very worried as ive just bought a load of bucktons 50/50 to find the use by date and batch number wiped off and i know this supplier sells gone off things?
The seed doesnt smell like it did when i had one straight from bucktons? very musty smell

A cowboy seed merchant then Owain, i would take it back....................this is the problem with pet shop weight their own bags, we never know the sell by date

No barrie it was a 20kg sack. they sell gone off softfood, and there split bags that they weigh in i would not like to know how long they have been there! isnt it against the law to sell human food without a use by date on it? shouldnt it still apply with animals?

I have reported the bag to bucktons and given the seed merchants details for them to deal with. I am now looking into versa laga

You done the right thing Owain

Bucktons were contacted Barrie I recieved an email telling me they are still trying to contact the owner of the seed supplier but as of yesterday morning i have heard nothing.
