What features do you need in an automatic feeder? Protection from rats, mice? Capacity?
My understanding of the Grandpa feeders is that they are very secure from vermin, but yup, expensive. There are a lot of DIY feeder plans you can check out that will cost a lot less. Search the articles for "feeder" and you will find a lot of things that people use or made, including the step on, Grandpa style.
And, welcome! BYC is a great place to hang out, make friends, and learn.
