5. PVC Funnel Feeder
A funnel feeder uses gravity to deliver food into a confined space at the base, preventing spillage and waste. This is ideal for keeping feed dry and contained.
- Materials Needed: Large funnel, PVC pipe or container, tray for bottom catch, drill for access holes.
- Construction Tips: Attach the funnel to a container or pipe leading into a feeding trough. Cut small holes at the bottom to allow a controlled amount of feed to drop into the tray.
- Benefits: Reduces contamination, minimizes feed loss, and is easy to refill. Funnel feeders are particularly suitable for pellet feed and provide a slow, steady feed supply.
