Is it okay to put pellets in freezer?

I just bought a big bag of pellets, and I'm wondering is it okay to put some of the pellets into the freezer? will it affect the nutrition??

All my pellets as well as seeds are stored in the freezer. Along with grains that I have cooked to be taken out as needed and veges etc added to.

Nope, the pellets should not be affected at all by freezing them. This is actually quite common with people who buy large bags of pellets and do not want them going stale before they are used.

since my house is being taken over by seed moths i am going to put all my new food in the freezer.

one poster noted that freezing the pellets an seeds will inhibit feed moths.

damn they are pests. sure wish they ate palmetto bugs.

I had no idea one could put seed/pellets in the freezer. Interesting.
