Does anybody know how to build an automatic feeder or waterer. I have seen that some people have it, but I don't know how to build it. Any links to something that could help, website or YouTube?

Do you mean a nipple waterer? Treadle feeder?

 

[WiccanKC]

water nipple is good, but I was also thinking water cup. But I did not like the idea of a treadle feeder

For the feeder I was thinking more DIY

What do you mean by 'automatic'?

water nipple is good, but I was also thinking water cup.

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, (laptop version shown), then it's always there!

By automatic i mean like fill once a week or so and have it be okay, so they can eat/drink whenever they please. I live in iowa, very close to Omaha Nebraska (in america)

If you add SW Iowa to your profile, it will help us answer weather related questions better.

Horizontal nipple waterer, I use a 14 gallon and 5 gallon container. The nipples can be found on amazon.
Since I know your location, here is a link to my heated waterer. You will need to keep your waterer from freezing.

I use DIY no waste feeders.

I fill my waterers and feeders once a week. Feeder link below.
