automatic feeders?

[Phrasty]

Was thinking the other day and thought it wouldnt hurt to ask. Anyone know of any "automatic feeding systems?"for rats. something that youd put a larger amount of food in and it would dispense a small amount daily or whatever?? i know ive seen them for cats and dogs on late night tv. but i think those were too big to put in a rat cage. hmmm, anybody??

Rats will eat when they want, so why would you want to dispense a set amount per day? Rats will only eat what they need (unlike my dogs) so leaving a large amount of food out for a rat would cause no negative effects. Most use hoppers full of food, and only have to refill once a week maybe.

Phrasty, you have the SAME chocolate lab that I do? Funny, she's never told me about her travels. Just kidding, they're great dogs, enjoy yours.

I know theyre not rats but for my mice, I put food in a grating thing and they pull it out as needed.

I also have a chocolate lab.

Chocolate labs rule, if you can handle having a puppy for 12-15 years. Chris, like the wire mesh that people use for food hoppers?

Mykee its all about the frequent flier miles. lol. But seriously they are definately dogs that never seems to get "old." My boy is at least 10 now, and still jumps in circles when i get home gotta love him :). Loyal to the end. ok i'll stop rambling bout my dog now...lol
