Can you control how much food they get?

You can only control the food by how much you put in the dispenser at one time. If you fill it, the hamster, in my case, would get food when he wanted it and pick through what he didn't like. Well made, sturdy, easy to access and clean.

Nah...one of my hamster dug out everything onto the floor each time I fill the pod. The other hamster ate from the pod no problem. (Separate cages) It will depend on your hamster's personality. Regardless, you won't have any portion control.

No. This device is not for animals who could eat themselves to death. Although I cannot think of any that could use this and be the type of animal that does that. It specifically attaches to crittertrail cages. That's for hamsters and gerbils, really...

No, if they want to empty the container in one day they easily could. The only way to control the amount is to not fill it all the way.

You could get close to that number but the number of pellets will vary. What I do is change the slot space and hit the feed buttton over a paper on the table and keep repeating the process till I get the desired amount.

The amount of candy per quarter is adjustable. Example: From a small handful of peanut M&M's, down to about 7-8.

You set your feed times up to 6 a day. You can not set individual days of the week. So to answer your question you can only set up to 6 feeding a day or as little as 1 a day

Yes, just put the longest tip on and stick into the pastries or the donuts. you will be able to control the amount you put it.

We have put M&Ms, Mike & Ikes & Skittles in our machine. There an adjustment for the amount of how much comes out at a time that you will want to play with.

You can program for a total of 3 feedings a day only. I believe you could program the feedings close together but then there would be no more food for the rest of the day.

I use two feeders, even though each cat only gets 1/3 c of food each meal, because Dragon puts his big dumb head in front of the opening and will park there until all the food is eaten, no matter how many servings. (Or he just breaks the top off, and then eats all the food from all the compartments if he is feeling feisty)

You can measure out the amount you need. You don't have to use the whole amount at once.

You can program the feeder to deliver a small amount. But the more important question is: Will you fish food fit and be delivered? I used flake food and pellets, but the unit kept getting clogged. I don't recommend this.

No. You control the portion based on how long you hold the trigger. The funnel comes with 3 nozzles though so you can also control to an extent how much/fast your filling flows but you can't preset a specific numeric amount to come out with each pull of the trigger.

Yes, you can change the amount by adjusting the timer. I made a cardboard partition for three cats. It's a tight squeeze though.

This feeder allows you to schedule up to 4 daily feedings. Once you have set the number of times that you would like your cat fed, you then choose the times that you would like the feedings to occur. I originally purchased this to regulate my kitten's food, but he's such a glutton now that he's older, I've yet to go back to leaving food out for grazing. Once it's set to the appropriate measurement and time, it's pretty much no-hassle.

Unfortunately no, what I can suggest is limiting the feeding times from maybe 3 to 2; just an example

It will depend on how you want them controlled,and if they are on same frequency. More information is needed

Yes, you can set any amount of food that would be appropriate to each dog per day.
