Would this dispenser work for other types of feed than just chickens? Specifically rabbit feed pellets.

The dispenser does not self feed. I have to push the food down from the holding portion even when it is full with chicken pellets. I would not purchase this again.

Yes I think it would. The rim around is wide enough to hold pellets. I hang mine high enough so that the chickens don't scratch waste in it. It's sturdy and holds a lot of feed.

The style of this feeder has adequate space for pelleted feed to freely flow and I think it would work well for rabbits also.

I think it might. We use it for trail mix and it dispenses almonds, cashews, peanuts and m&ms; with no problem.

I do not think so. If chick's yes but not 2 full grown chickens. We have 1 rabbit in ours and he is quite content

I don't know if it would be appropriate for chickens but I have a lot of critters (possums, skunks, raccoons, and neighborhood cats) come to drink from mine on a daily basis. I just bought another bowl to use at work for our community cats. Check out Facebook groups like Fresh Eggs Daily or The Chicken Chick; they could answer your questions about feeding and watering chickens.

No, I don't believe that it would. Even some dog kibble is too large for the dispenser and become jammed. A good option that has worked well for me is Zuke's Mini Naturals. You have to be certain that whatever you put into the dispenser will not break apart and cause the mechanism inside to become jammed. Love mine though and what's even better..my dog LOVES it more!

I don't believe caked food would work for this type of feeder. It's meant for seeds.

Definitely, and yes. It is the perfect size for our 2 chickens. I've never seen a rabbit bigger than 2 chickens. When assembling simply leave out the perch and divider. Should be super fur a rabbit!

There are two holes, opposite each other. The feed tends to "Pool" outside the feeder, giving ample opportunity for multiple deer(And squirrels and raccoons) to reach the feed. I don't think this would be good for pellets because they would get wet.

Honestly don't know if it will work on rabbits. A great part of the design is that you can pull the pad (urine flows through slits in the bottom under the pellets) that absorbs the urine daily, every other day, weekly. I only have to change mine out each week. There is a nice raised edge around the box but at one end is lower for easy access. My cat took to it immediately and I now order via Amazon each time I need to replenish pads or pellets. Hope this helps.

I don't know... I returned this product and bought one that was actually for chickens...

It can be used for any feed while most feeders fit a specific type of seed. In Wisconsin we use it for "critter feed" and place it on the ground. Can also use bread pieces, cob corn.

Honestly, I have no idea. But my thought would be no. I know the rabbit cage waterers use a ball at the end, to release the water, and this is a peg that when the chickens peck at it it moves to the side to release water.

Peanuts are sometimes too large. As another poster noted, halves may be less likely to clog up the feeder. I've had chunks of fruit and nuts clog the feeder and keep other seed from falling down into the hopper. I use it only for sunflower seed now. In fact I've stopped feeding anything but black oil sunflower seed in this and nyjer in an Aspects wire mesh feeder, and I've removed the perches from this and wrapped it in gutter guard so only clinging birds will feed from it now - I had a problem with English House Sparrows, now solved.

I am afraid that it would clump up inside and not feed out properly. If you used "dry" feed pellets then this feeder would do a great job.

Another thought -- this style is more for wet food and small portions. For big dry kibble, I'd suggest a chute-feeder more like this: topPets Large Automatic Pet Feeder Electronic Programmable Portion Control Dog Cat Feeder w/ LCD display

I use round kibble and it works great. You can adjust the feeder to the size of the kibble.

If it could be hung above the feeder on the same wire it might work. You would have to make a new hanging bracket for the tube,
