Galvanised Metal Treadle Feeder – 20kg

This clever feeder is designed to prevent vermin from accessing feed intended for chickens and ducks. The mechanism is operated when a bird stands on the treadle- opening a hatch and allowing feed to trickle into the pan. This prevents surplus food from lying around and attracting vermin in the first place- and the treadle is balanced so that it is only operated by a weight of more than 500g- so that even if a rat stands on the plate- it will not be heavy enough to activate it. This minimum activation weight also prevents feral pigeons and some smaller grey squirrels from feeding. Made from galvanised steel- this long lasting feeder can hold up to 20kg of feed- and is easily filled by removing the simple lid. Despite its relative height- this item is very stable even when empty- and although it is not fully waterproof- it is robust enough to be used in a sheltered or semi-outdoor environment. We also supply a treadle feeder with a 10kg holding capacity. Dimensions: 47cm h x 50cm w x 31cm
