Sorry you haven't had any luck with your millet Hamsterita, you can never know for sure if it's fresh except by germinating it so if it doesn't germinate then it could be that it's not fresh, it should say if it's been roasted or anything on the pack & if you get millet sold for birds it won't have been.
You can try a germination test by just putting some on a piece of kitchen paper on a small plate or something & keeping it just damp, they should begin to germinate like that although they won't grow much so it's really just to test rather than for feeding.
What are you growing them in? If they go mouldy it usually means that they're too wet, especially if it's warm, damp sand does seem to be the best way to avoid mould.
