I keep my big bags of shavings and dust in the garage, but keep one of those plastic sets of drawers next to their cage inside. I can just pull a drawer out and fill it up with shavings, and that lasts me quite a while for just filling litter pans. I keep toys and wood in the other drawer, bags of dust in another drawer.

That bedding is nicely packed in the bag, if you were to try to store it otherwise it would take up a lot more room. We just keep the bags in a dry place and only open one at a time.

That's what I do too. My chins don't use much bedding and I only fill the drawer every two weeks or so. This method keeps me from being clumsy and knocking over that big bag and spilling bedding everywhere.

I go through a bale or more weekly so I keep all my bales of shavings in the garage on a pallet. I also keep my bags of feed stacked on the pallet.

I'm good, very busy but things are slowing down finally.
3 bags will last you...forever. We go through 3 bags every 3-4 months.
I did get your e-mail! I'm glad you're enjoying them!

I just keep the shavings in the bags. I go through a ton of that stuff with 10 of my own pet chins and the 4 rescues here right now. I have bags stashed all over as I don't have a garage. I even have some under my ferret nation cages.

I keep my shavings in the bag, in the chin room. They are stored in a rubbermaid tote, but that's only because it was available and convenient to have it out of sight.

I keep the bags up on a shelf and when I open one I empty what I can fit into a 30 gallon trash can(never used for trash of course). I usually get about half to 2/3 of the bag in there. I find it is much easier to scoop bedding out of that than the bags. What doesn't fit just gets closed bag up in the bags.

I agree with every one; to keep them in the bags is the best. The stuff is vacuumed packed to cut down on space and it will keep fresher longer in the original factory seal. I live in a smallish two bedroom apartment....three bags of shavings and my partner and I would have to live out in the hallway!

In the bag in the back of the closet. If I could find a sterilite/tupperware big enough for the bag, I'd probably toss it into one of those just to catch anything that might drop while I'm scooping.
