debbie26pet Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 http://www.solwayfeeders.com/ProductsDetail1.asp?stock_code=1380 im looking at this one, i have tried the omlet ones, for food and water they will not touch them, i got a new red plastic on that i can hang they manage to break it, . so i bought them another 2 hanging ones, and we have several times replaced the nuts underneath them, well we been away for the weekend. luckily ive had family round, twice day checking them, today they have undone the nuts again and they were all over the floor, no nuts to be seen, hubby has had enough of there secret tool kit, and told me buy something proper and robust for them. we use mash but looking at one of these. we hate to think if we hadnt had family round, there food would have been mixed into the floor and no food for them. so i need something great and not to expensive, and for 21 girls.

judith67 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I have this one as well and so far only lost the nut once in 9 months (poor OH was scrabbling around in chicken pooh trying to find it, which he did love him ) So now I know to keep tightening it. It does get clocgged up when the food gets wet in the rain sometimes (if its sideways rain lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
