An automatic feeder saves you topping up small amounts every day. The dry feed stays clean and dry in the storage container and only slides down as much as is eaten below. Here you will find feeders in plastic and galvanised metal, for mounting on the bars or for standing on the floor, so the pellets do not end up in the bedding.
Design and mounting
A feeder for rodents holding 1000 ml fixes to the bars and saves space on the hutch floor. A model in galvanised metal is sturdy and easy to clean, while a plastic version with gnaw protection holds up even when your animals like to nibble at everything. A 1000 ml dispenser for mounting on the bars stays firmly in place so nothing gets knocked over. When fitting it, choose a height at which your rabbits feed comfortably. A spot away from the bedding keeps it cleaner.
Filling and checking
Fill in only as much as will be eaten within a few days, and use dry pellets so nothing clumps together. The feeder takes over the dry feed ration, while hay stays the main feed and has to be available at all times. Check the fill level, the outlet opening and the feeding behaviour of your animals every day. Before refilling it pays to take out old leftovers and let the container dry properly. A quick wipe of the outlet keeps the pellets running freely, even after a humid spell.
Frequently asked questions
How much feed should I fill in?
Ideally enough for a few days. That keeps the feed fresh and you keep track of how much your animals actually eat. Dry storage helps so the pellets do not clump.
Does the feeder replace the hay rack?
No. The feeder releases dry feed, while hay stays the main feed and still belongs in a rack where it stays clean and dry all day long.
What helps against gnawing damage?
Models in galvanised metal or plastic with gnaw protection take more punishment. A firm fixing to the bars also stops the feeder being knocked over. Check the fixing now and then.
Feeders for pellets and dry feed
An automatic feeder keeps the ration clean and releases it bit by bit. Models for mounting on the bars with 1000 ml save space on the hutch floor and stay firmly in place, even when things get lively in the enclosure. Versions in galvanised metal are sturdy and quickly cleaned, while plastic models with gnaw protection stand up to animals that like to nibble. That way the pellets stay dry and do not land in the bedding. Fill in only as much as is needed for a few days so the feed stays fresh, and check the fill level and the outlet opening daily. When fitting it, choose a height at which your animals feed comfortably, and take out old leftovers before you refill. Remember that the feeder covers the dry feed, while hay stays the main feed in the rack.
