That's where I usually get my millet. Yep, it's HUGE!
Here's a quick photo of Petco's rather puny spray millet, compared to LadyGouldian.com's humongous spray millet. The grid lines in the back are 1" apart. LG's millet is a good 2" wide!

AND they are much much fresher than the stuff from the pet stores! As soon as I opened my first order, I could smell the difference!
I got an order from ladygoudlian.com today, so I thought I would share a picture of the 1 pound package:

For reference, that's a standard 12" ruler next to the bag. There are 10 sprays in this bag!

I love millet porridge! I add sugar to mine. But I don't know what type it is that they usually sell in the stores for people.

Hi Debbie, I think that data says it is 11% protein, which is close to what we would expect.
