Soothing Shrimp Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yeah, weird huh? I found it in my supplies of forgotten foods that someone sent me. I actually tried looking it up, and can't find it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Wow. If it's been that long, it's probably stale and not as appealing (or nutritious) as it once was. I wonder if they would eat it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 The way I figure, it's "clean" since it was in a plastic baggie, and they eat decaying debris anyway since they are clean up crew. It's not moist, so no bad bacterial growth, and it's dried. Yeah, I have no probs feeding it should I decide to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
