My rabbits food bowl always seems to get bedding in it then she doesnt eat the food and tips her bowl over, Can i use this for food?

Yes. It is clipped on to the cage and doesn't tip over. You put the pellets and earthy greens in the bottom feeder and timothy hay in the back. It is a very clean way to feed your bunnies.

Yes, you can use this for food. I usually clip it up high so my rabbits can take the food out without getting things in it and they can't tip it over but my rabbits pull out the divider gate all the time.

You could put food in the bowl/bottom part under the rack. It does however get very full of small bits of hay as they pull hay out of the rack part so might not catch as much hay or the hay might cover the food. If you want to use it just as a food bowl it would work, but there are better food bowl only options out there.

I had the same problem with my rabbit; I ended up ordering stainless steel bowls from Amazon which hook onto the cage. I use one for food and one for treats; this is working out great! It's been a year now and I'm very happy with the outcome :)) TRY THIS! You won't be sorry....

With the previous version of this I had that same problem. I just put a good-sized piece of clear packing tape on the underside to hold the bowl against the feeder. Problem solved. :)

No it's not set up that way. I think you may need the electric portion feeder type. This one only drops when they have eaten everything out of the bowl.

Although I don't have any experience with bunnies I can tell you that my Russian dwarf hamster doesn't track this anywhere. He does get a few pieces in his food bowl from time to time but nothing to make a major mess. It doesn't take a lot to cover his cage, I do give him a little more in certain places because he likes to dig and bury but other than that just enough to cover the bottom and keep him warm is enough.

You must use tin baking tray in corner with litter for rabbits. I use mine for my indoor cats who have an escape hatch to go in and out thru a basement window! Safe cats!

The "bowl" isn't really a bowl - more of a food reservoir - and could not be replaced. However, it is a little more than an inch deep, so you could probably put a shallow dish in it. Of course, if your cat attacks it vigorously, it might spill out of the bowl and into the plastic food reservoir. It might be worth a try though. One of my cats gets chin acne too and it hasn't come back since I got these feeders, but I only put food in it once a day, so his exposure is limited.

I would not recommend it. The food does not fall into the bowl. My cats aren't trained to use their paws to pull more food down so the job is left for me. Very poor design.

Since I use bedding, I plan to nail a wood floor panel with metal wheels to the bottom. It will give it extra stability as well as make it easier to move and clean. Maybe add some plastic tarp to avoid the rabbit urine from seeping into the wood.

Not that I know of, but friends did use it for rabbits. If they can drink from a bowl should be ok.

I got mine for my cat. He was still able to tip it, so I got one of those black boot trays and velcroed the bowl to the tray, problem solved!!!! At least, when he did tip it, it wasn't as big of a mess as with a regular bowl!!!

I have used for it for a mix of wet and dry and it works fine. I smear the wet on top of the dry or drop it in the grooves with a spoon. My dog makes sure that the bowl is sparkling when he is done, he does not leave one spec of food!

Put things in the corners. I had a water bottle that came out on one corner and a bowl for his food on the other. He will still poop a little on the top floor since they basically are always pooping! ;) but they do prefer corners.

I am sorry we just got a new one a couple weeks ago, I no longer have the base, our rabbit dug so much she put a hole in it. it was fairly deep, however she still threw bedding on the floor so we ran the stuff you put over eve troughs to keep the leaves out around the upper part of the base to stop the bedding.

my cat actually learned to eat out of the top of it, so what I did was placed his old bowl which was heavy ceramic on the top and that can both weigh it down and keep the kitty from eating out of the top of it, hope that helps

I do not have any issues with tipping over, however, if you encounter the problem, I would suggest drilling 2 small holes in the high side and attach the box to an exercise pen or whatever caging you use, with 2 shower curtain hooks. Make sure the box is not treated or impregnated with Microban, which is very toxic to rabbits. Some manufacturers use it to contain odor, but rabbits may chew the rim of the box and ingest it. I found the large boxes at Tractor Supply and they are chemical free and Amazon may offer some sellers too.

I would not recommend it for feeding, my cats sometimes just dump it over to get the treats out. I suppose you could use it by portioning out how much you want them to have in a day, but they may just knock it over and make a mess. Plus, I have a few cats that won't even use it for treats so that's a problem if your cat doesn't like it and won't stick their paws in it. I would recommend just using a regular dish and measuring out portions. Try a quality food designed for weight loss.

Not really, gravity + your pet move the food into the bowl. I would say the bowl is equivalent to about a cup of food which goes quickly around here. If gravity + you pet happen to cause too much food out before your pet can eat then I can see the food getting stale. It's a pretty good system as far as price goes but there's nothing preventing your pet from dispensing food regularly.
