Ahhh....The problem with Nutrobal is it goes off quick and then does stink. Someone likened it to sweet baby sick smell whcih I thought was quite apt. If yours smells like that then I expect it is off I am afraid. I have to admitt mine always goes off before the due date despite all sorts of attempts to seal it from the air. You may need to buy some more and you never know they might eat it them.

You have got to be kidding me! I only got it a few weeks ago! It was in a sealed bag inside it's tub and when I opened it I could smell it right away. Will it have done them any harm?

Ok, sorry to confuse you. It is never odourless, but it really really starts to stink when it is off. I don't think it can cause harm although i know some people have suggested that it can cause runny poos.

No it will not have done any harm, but I would send it back to the manufacturer and ask them to replace it, it cold have been stored incorrectly before you bought it.

Oh ok! I might just get some more just to be on the safe side and compare smells! I need to order some limestone powder now anyway. Do you sell it or do you just sell weeds?

I thought it was limestone flour and vits every day.
Well, that's what I'm going to do while she is so small and has a lot of growing to do.
I'll probably find out that that's wrong too. lol
