    Not us, sorry

    I have a small chest full of dry rice and beans that my ferrets used to play in. They don't anymore and I no longer need it. To be clear... my ferrets have slithered through every inch of this. It is not for humans. Would anyone want this to feed to their pigs maybe? I don't know exactly how many pounds it is but it is heavy. Message me if you are interested
