Best Feed Bins?

[1luckylady]

I have these recycling sorting bins from IKEA.

They aren't the sturdiest, but I have very limited storage space, and being able to stack them is a lifesaver. I can fit a sack of balancer into one, but need two to fit a sack of chaff. I also have one of the shallower ones for treats!

Hi are they rat proof

I have these too. One benefit (if you have lots of them) is you can write the name of the feed on the flap and the angle makes reading them really easy so you know exactly what's what. Each one of mine is labelled with the name of the feed and how much of it each horse has. The shallow ones fit a sack of linseed perfectly and most bags of feeds fit into the deeper ones. I don't feed chaff so that's not an issue.

I've had them a few years and not had any issues with rats getting in but can't say for definite that they are. They are plastic so it's always possible for them to be chewed through I'd have thought.

Mine is Peter strong and been going about 25 years. I don’t think the company is going anymore which is a shame though.
