How picky have you raised your pets ??? I've seen dogs eat 6 month dead pronghorn , chew dead squirrels off a mud flap .
So , NO . I'd keep in the bag and fins a plastic 55 gallon drum you can seal the top on and fill it with bags of food .
I have a 1-1/2" Guardrail nut looped on a piece of 550 cord. Not whiz bang tactical, but one smack in the grape and its coloring books for Christmas time.
