main food (harry hamster & burgess mixed together) in a cereal pourer, and treats (apple popcorn, dried carrot, crushed dry corn, yoggie drops, monkey nuts, rodent marbles & raisins) all in "lock&lock" style tubs, with a small tub of mixed treat selection for playtimes; the tubs stay in storage boxes under the cage

I keep mine in the original packaging so far, but I have only had my First hamster since childhood for a week. My parents took care of my hamsters when I was a kid. I guess I should get some plastic containers, like my chins have

I keep mine in old plastic tubs from jacobs crackers or big Christmas sweet tins. One jacobs tin has treats, one has the rats food and then there is a celebrations tin full of gerbil food and one with hamster food. There is also a quality street tin full of sand and a little box with meal worms and the rats veggie dog chews.

Air tight tupperware, we use a mix from a local shelter that just comes in a bag and science selective and that bag *always* breaks! So it's somewhat necessary to keep them in something else...

I keep mine in original mix bags and any additional ingredients are in zip lock bags stashed into a plastic shoe box in a row. Excess lab blocks are in double zip lock bags in my freezer.

after a bug breakout in all her foodstuff I put everything in airtight boxes
but it probably doesn't matter since she can probably eat the bugs, but don't want to take any chances

I use airtight Lock n Lock containers for the food. It fits one bag in just nicely! One for the dwarf mix, one for my syrian mix.

Treats are kept in an assortment of glass containers. Big treats (bonios etc) - in the douge egbert (?) used glass coffee containers. Small treats - in small square matching glass jam jars.
