Ferret Feeder

[king 11,984]

I've been thinking of making a gravity fed.

Feeder for the ferrets.

As soon as I put a bowl of biscuit in the hob tumbles it upside down.

Any pics ideas of 1s you've made.

Cheers king....

Theres a picture on here in the air rifle section where the guys made a feeder from a drain pipe look that up it would be ideal

Or just screw the bowl down

I use a heavy porcelain bowl to stop him tipping it over mate.

I would rather a strong secure gravity fed 1 i can screw to the brick wall in the court.

I used to use a chicken feeder from farm shop..Bird feeders for the garden could also be adapted with a bit of twiddling etc etc.

 

Or just feed em Raw matey... late at night in the summer and remove any carcass in the morning to avoid the flies..

 

That dry food is shite to be honest.. costs nowt to feed raw.

Get a clay made , small dog bowl , they don't knock em over and yes definately give em some flesh always.

I just fire my biscuit through the mess in a line down the front of the cage, that way the older ferrets don't get pushed out.

I used a chickens water drinker they soon knocked that over i tried mine with a heavy bowl the hob kept trying to dig under it and just shoved it all over the hutch the jills just dug the biscuits out like they wanted to see if there was something hiding under them it was all a game for them

Or just screw the bowl down

I bought a cheap plastic rabbit/gunipig bowl and screwed that down my hobs did exactly the same used to drive me mad.

Jill's are no bother at all conpaired to the hobs, never knocked theirs over.

They have plenty of raw vin.mince.rabbit.squirell.chicken.sardines.etc.

But I like to have biscuit down aswell.my thoughts are when we go on holiday this year I can leave a large gravity feeder in the court for them.then the neighbour can just refill there water bottles on the outside.

That way there will be no flys.and I'm 100% peace of mind that they got food all week.

cant fault yer matey... spot on... great way to to make sure the stinkers are looked after while you have a relaxing holiday.

 

these are the type of thing i've used in the past... I had a metal one that was great..they make them up to 10kg.
