Double portion served: Has anyone had the problem of the feeder dropping two servings in a row?

Mine seems to deliver less than the full portion and other times more than it should. It is a concern when we are away that the cat will get the right amount of food!

Seeing the same behavior as well. Tried removing batteries and keeping it off and unplugged for a few days, but when I plug it back in, reset the clock and the schedule, it started dumping all the food at once again. Seems to be a design flaw.

Having the same problem...I have given up stopping the leaking. Created way too many problems for me-with the leaking, ants were everywhere after the leaked nectar. I am going back to the old style of feeders without the tubes.

Depends on the size of the flakes. I would crush the food so that the flakes broke up a bit before loading the feeder. The issue is that if the opening is large enough for the larger flakes then you can over feed when the larger flakes are gone.

Our cat could sucessfully do that with the previous feeders but not with the Pet Feedster. Our cat has tried but no luck, I think he has given up trying and just patiently waits for his food.

We've had no problems at all with this feeder. Maybe you got one with a small crack?

Unfortunately, we have had the same problem. We did unplug the connections and plug them back in to the other open "plug-ins" and they worked for a month or so. At the present time, we only have two feeds working. We have not had the time to trace the problem. Sorry this isn't helpful, other than supposedly misery loves company. I hope this is an easy fix.

I haven't had any problems with it. I have had it for over a year now. I use it for my dog. If your cat is trying to get the food to drop down, you can try fastening the tray with tape underneath or something. I picked this feeder because it had the best reviews and the large container.

Not sure, but I have seen the condition you refer to in many feeders I have previously owned. I bought mine as a gift for someone, and can ask them to keep an eye on the condition for me. Don't think they've owned it long enough to have seen this condition yet.

Is this the first feeder you have had in that area?Maybe move it to another place. Make sure your seed is fresh. You can try mixing fine sunflower chips with the thistleBe patient

Yes, I experienced this. The primary issue I had was the metal plate was unbalanced and rubbed against the stainless at the opening. I tried unsuccessfully to rebalance and was never able to get it to work properly.

Not sure what u mean. With my feeder the nectur comes out just fine. I'm sorry if I misled you.

I have not had the feeder long enough to give you an honest answer. My best suggestion would be to call the manufacturer.

The same thing happened to me when I first used it. I just reduced the amount of pasta in the cooker and it comes out fine. I do 2 servings at a time.

I have two feeders and have no trouble with leakage. Just don't over fill it!

I usually mix one container full and use almost all of it at one time, but have had leftovers that I add a new batch to without problem. I try not to mix more than I can use at one time.

Usually there is a little, maybe a quarter of an inch, of solution left in the bowl when I replace it with new solution. Also, because of the branch that I hang the feeder on, the bowl does not hang completely level which also causes some solution to be left unevenly at the bottom. However, because we are only talking about a solution of sugar and water, this waste seems acceptable.
