I have a couple like that. They're OK. Better than the big one that they dump everything out of. But the metal one is the best for preventing waste.

Mine was getting knocked over every couple days. Different setup, I suppose.

My experience is that this feeder feeds crumble better than it feeds pellet. It does feed pellet, but sometimes needs a shake to clear a logjam.

You're welcome! Do your plastic feeders have that problem of the long bolt through the middle unscrewing itself? That used to drive me MAD.

I have a very ordinary, traditional, metal hanging feeder which is actually a bit larger than the current flock of 5 needs and I love it! It holds a generous amount of feed, which flows down freely, and the bottom pan is deep enough that I only have to dump fines about once a month (I use...
