Dearies,
I'm so frustrated! Have bought a few self packed sunflower seeds in the past. Most of them got infested with weevils either immediately after I open the pack, or after I kept it for a few months.
Wonder if anywhere sells really fresh sunflower seeds? If I din remember wrongly, Minimal has their own types of sunflower seeds right? Anyone knows which petshop is selling? I went Serangoon North recently and cant seem to find it.

Fresh sunflower seeds means easier for weevils to attack. As there is no preservatives. I can get them from my school greenhouse or grow my own. Which is preservative-less. Buying seeds with brands are usually preservitified.

If you are looking for those Minimal ones...i saw some at Marine Image Pet shop at behind the Yishun Interchange there. As for weevils growing on Sunflower seed...u can try using the small purple packs (small pack not to be eaten) inside most Minimal hamster food & put it inside your other brand sunflower seed to absorb the moisture in your other hamster food to prevent weevils from growing inside... Ever wonder why there are weevils eggs in a pack of hamster's food which would hatch into weevils when the packing is opened up? And i suppose many have also seen weeevils & worms in a pack of sealed hamster food too....

Maybe I'll go Marine Image to find. NUS is way too far for me.
I'm extremely lazy to get rid of those weevils you see... and I'm very unlucky. Always got sunflower seeds with weevils.
Animosity, how do u grow sunflower seeds?

Juz use the normal sunflower seeds la.. Im not sure whether preservitified or roasted ones can or not?
But those from the flower itself looks exactly like from a mix.
