Does anyone have an idea for a feeder that would put out only the correct amount of food daily, even if it’s something that’s homemade. Give me some ideas guys.
Nice set up, do pups or the dogs in the kennel chew on the 2' conduit?I've been using the "Quickfeed" horse feeder for 6 years now with no breakdowns. They are expensive for no more than it is but awesome performance. I ordered dbl outlet feeders with 1/2 cup increment dispensing. You can set the times and amounts to your pleasure. I think even though they say its fine to use outside I would install inside only in constant temp. so no condensation or mold growth. My dog boxes are in the garage with a door to the outside run. I put the feeders above with a 2" conduit down into a mounted stainless loaf pan below. Absolutely no issues in 6 years. Fantastic as I can't get to the dogs daily. Holds about 3 weeks of food in hopper. I then keep a large water trough in the box also as it then doesnt freeze or get nasty growth etc. The dog box is split in two with a nest on 1 side and the food and water and door to outside on the other.
Actually, I do have 1 of the food bowls mounted on nest side so when it dispenses to 2 dogs there is the wood divider between them to control any issues.
I'll try and figure out how to upload some pictures. Its a 3rd gen design and wouldn't change a thing.
