Ametza Pellet Scoop & 5 Gallon Airtight Storage Combo

"

Half the value of premium pellets disappears into moldy, mite-infested, stale storage. The Ametza Pellet Storage Bucket + Scoop fixes all three problems for less than a bag of Oxbow.

What You Get

• 5-gallon food-grade HDPE bucket (holds one 50 lb Ametza bag)
• Gamma Seal lid — threaded, airtight, one-handed open/close
• 2-cup stainless steel scoop with hang-hook
• Pre-printed label for batch date, open date, expiration

Why Airtight Storage Matters

Hay pellets absorb ambient moisture above 60% humidity — within 30 days of an open bag, pellets can exceed 13% moisture and begin microbial growth. Storage mites colonize open bags within weeks. Pests (mice, rats) are attracted to exposed feed. A food-grade HDPE bucket with a Gamma Seal lid solves all of this for under $40 and lasts a decade. Pair with our moisture absorber packs for humid climates.
