Sorry for the really unimaginative title

A few weeks ago when ordering another month's worth of food, I noticed the 12x Animonda Carny 200g Multipack was no longer available on the Zooplus site. Locke loves Animonda (and has turned his nose up at Smilla I bought instead Good thing he's got lots of Grau left), so I currently have a choice between getting multiple packs of 6x 200g tins (a few pounds more expensive, but not a huge issue), or getting the 12x 400g Multipack on the next order.

Now, Locke only eats 200g per day, so how long can an open 400g can last in the fridge? I usually keep open cans of food in an airtight container which helps with the freshness a bit, but not sure how well it'll keep things through 48 hours.

Or should I just go for the 200g cans as usual?

Hmm, I may be thick this morning (not had my coffee yet) but I don't understand your problem. Open 400g tin, put on plate what you need for a meal, decant the rest into airtight container to put in the fridge, feed the rest of your 200g that day, then feed the remaining 200g the next day. So, the food should be in the fridge for just over 24 hours. Then for the next day and perhaps the day after use a different brand in your rotation.

What am I not seeing hun?

Oh dear...seems I was more tired than I thought last night

Indeed...an open 400g would last over 24 hours, not 48 like I said in my original post (oops!). So the food would be okay being stored for that amount of time? Wasn't very sure as never had a can of food open that long.

I hope that makes more sense. I do feel a little silly now

Thanks spid (and everyone else, of course! ). Now my brain is a little less sleep deprived, 36 hours (which is roughly how long a tin would be open for here) isn't a particularly long time, so should be fine. Thanks all for putting my mind a little more at ease
