Customers say
Customers find the food dispenser effective at slowing down their pets’ eating habits and preventing binge eating and throwing up. Moreover, the product keeps cats entertained and is particularly good for multiple cats. However, the lid is difficult to get on and off, and customers note that the tray is too small.

Sturdy quality. Adjusts to your kibble size, then it’s a gravity feeder with tubes & tunnels.
This is a review of the “Trixie Activity” feeder (which has a base and tunnels/tubes).FYI – when I bought it, the price was a great deal at $12.79. I notice as I write this review it’s currently priced at $16.26. Either way, I think both prices are a great price for this quality feeder.The most important thing about this feeder is to realize that you need to reach underneath and turn the handle of the piece that changes the size of the openings to match the size of your kibble so that your food will fall through into the feeding tubes. :)They say on the product description that this has an “adjustable level of output to vary how quickly treats are released – but, I don’t see how that would truly work. You must adjust it so that your kibble/treats can come out into the tube. Once that is adjusted to the correct sizing, the kibble simply fills the tubes/tunnels. There is no way the cat can reach up and “probe” to get more food or treats to come out – you size it to the kibble and it fills via gravity. So, it’s not “adjustable” in the way they describe with that sentence. This is not important to us, but if you wanted something that did let you vary the amount of kibble/treats, then this is not for you.The container on top that holds the food is 4” wide inside at the top, but it is cone shaped so it narrows down to about 2” wide where it inserts into the top of the food tunnels (and that container is 2.25” tall). How much food this feeder will hold will depend on the size of your kibble, of course. You fill the container on top with kibble, screw the piece from the bottom so that the food falls into the tunnels, then a lot of food will fill the tunnels and you can then top off the container with more kibble. In the end, it holds a surprising amount of kibble!Overall, the feeder base is 11” in diameter and about 5.5” tall. The plastic is very sturdy and this seems to be a high quality feeder. There is a rubbery ring built into the base to keep it from sliding around, but it does move around from our cats using it. I think fur builds up under the ring so the rubber isn’t as effective as you’d think it would be.The feeder tubes are 2” wide. As you see in the pictures of the product, three are tunnels that are flat on the bottom of the feeder and the other three are tubes that stick up in the air. Any cat should easily be able to get food from the three flat tunnels. If they just like playing around while feeding, perhaps they would try getting food from the tubes – but I’ve only seen our two cats use the tunnels so far. Doesn’t really matter, as the kibble refills whichever of the tunnels/tubes the cats eat from.The lid on the top screws on – which is good if you have a cat that knows how to lift lids! The base has a ridge around the edge, so the kibble all stays on the feeder, which we really like. Our normal gravity feeders had kibble scattered all around nearby, this feeder keeps it all on the feeder base. Of course, if your cat pulls out a kibble with her paw and then does not eat it, the kibble will end up not on the base – so you can collect kibble around this feeder, depending on how your cats eat.It says you can clean this in the dishwasher, but we haven’t tried that. I don’t know how you would stop a ton of water from collecting in it if you used a dishwasher?Anyway, our cats – a 12 year old girl and a boy just turning 1 year old – easily figured this out and started eating from it right away. No problems or delays whatsoever. The reason I got this type of feeder was to slow down the gobbling eating habit of our older cat, who overeats and gets overweight. We feed our cats mainly wet food, but we have dry kibble out to free feed since we have a younger kitten that is still growing – so I thought this was a good option to slow down her eating. He doesn’t seem to overeat. Actually, she is the first cat we’ve ever had that overeats! 😮 The feeder seems to be having the desired impact. She definitely eats less quantity of kibble when eating it one piece at a time from this feeder. :)Hope this info helps someone.c~

Great for Fed management, bad for OCD Cleaners
These are awesome. When my cat’s body went into shock from over eating and constantly throwing up- it led ti his intestines stopping (a 3 day emergency that costed us $7000 in bills).So we threw away our gravity feeding bowls and use regular bowls but he was still scaring the food down. All of our cats were now that they had a designated eating time. So I saw this and bought 3 (my eldest cat doesn’t like to group feed so an extra one faraway was great for him.They work! They slow down the cats eating and makes them work for the little kibble.MY ONLY DISTAIN is that it gets crumbles on the floor or in our case in the nook/litterbox we feed them at. We had and issue with ants last fall after spraying our home exterior. It was not fun.My suggestion… try out different kibble sizes and brands. Some or softer and crumble easily thus the crumbs. We figured out meow mix was better in terms of crumble elimination. Avoid the soft inside kind.

Highly recommended
I’ll admit that my cats had food issues. When their dry food was in bowls, one of the cats “guarded” the food once he thought everyone had enough to eat. Another would eat and eat and eat with abandon, to the point where he would throw up. Another would scurry in once the others had eaten and binge on food until she threw up. Two of the four cats were overweight. Yeah, mealtime was lovely. Something had to change, and this tunnel self feeder was one of the changes we made.This tunnel allows multiple cats to eat at the same time and everyone gets a shot at the food. It also slows them down so if they’re hungry and they start to pull food from this, their bellies can tell their brains they’re full long before they’ve eaten to the point of vomiting. In addition, this keeps them engaged during feedings–they actually have to WORK for their food–so it satisfies the prey drive that cats have when it comes to their food.Since we started using this, several things have happened.1. Vomiting of food is decreased significantly. I think it’s happened maybe twice in several week (whereas, with a bowl, it was happening twice a DAY).2. No more guarding food by the head cat. When they eat is no longer an issue.3. Each cat is totally engaged with what they’re doing when they’re eating. No more gorging on dry food. They’re working for their food.4. Less cat food is being eaten and wasted. (You know that dry cat food that gets pushed out of the bowl and no one eats it because ICK IT’S ON THE FLOOR! Now there’s none of that.5. The two fat cats have started to lose weight.I’d highly recommend this tunnel self feeder. It’s totally worth the money.

So many hopes, so few brought to fruition
The bottom is raised so it can slide around really easily. There is no way to anchor it, not even screw holes and you can guess what my cats did. Two bats and it flew right off the shelf. It needs weight or screw holes or something to help anchor it. That little rubber bit doesn’t do squat. I do like that you can change the speed of flow. I don’t like that it is so tight and hard to do. It comes apart easily for cleaning. It absolutely contributed to my cat’s obesity since she would lay down and put a paw in, shake the whole thing, then eat. It also contributed to both cats and the dogs figuring out that food comes out when you knock things off the counters. I am less than amused by this turn of events.The plastic is fairly durable, my lab put a few decent holes in the lid when the cats would knock it down but otherwise it stayed in one piece and still works even when mangled.I would suggest this for kittens or rodents who can use the extra calories and will be interested by it. For adult cats, they cheat and turn lazy. I had to take it away after only 3 months of use.

Worried about my cat eating too much and this device helps him to eat less. Now, he has to earn each kibble making each feeding time much shorter AND more satiafying. My cat was declawed when I adopted him so I think he has trouble gripping the kibble as he won’t put his whole arm in the tunnel. So, as a solution I have the kibble spilling out more than it should (as shown in the video). This is not the fault of the manufacturer so I am still giving it a 5 star.Despite having to make a minor adjustment given my cat’s disability, it works as intended and the device should work great for cats with claws.

My boy cat got a little too chunky and so I knew it was time to edit his diet and how he was eating. I free fed dry which meant when he was bored he would graze often, hence the weight issue. This has replaced the free feed bowl and its actually working!This design helps them not to break in and cheat which is great!It is usable by multiple cats at once all different shapes and sizes. (My 4 different breeds can all use it!)It allows for slower, singular biscuit eating which means they have to ‘work for their food’ so less consumption.Genuinely my boy now prefers this to his wet food or even biscuits in a bowl!

Sehr gut ! Wurde sofort angenommen. Hygienisch. Ich hatte vorher eine “Fummelbox” aus Holz und die war jetzt extrem fettig und unappetitlich.

Hace 3 meses ya casi que castramos a nuestra gata (tiene ahora 10 meses) y el tema del peso y la ansiedad por la comida del bicho se estaba poniendo un poco serio.Desde que la gata llegó a casa con 3 meses, tenía comida a su libre disposición y hacía comidas breves y frecuentes durante todo el día, no terminando habitualmente la ración estimada diaria de pienso.Más o menos al mes de castrarla, comenzó a devorar la ración diaria casi nada más caer al cuenco y se volvió bastante perezosa… Comencé a repartir la ración en dos tomas, y sí, la comida se la tomaba de dos veces, pero igual de ansiosa: el centro de su día era las comidas y el pedirlas. Así, de ser una gata joven delgadita y muy activa, empezó a echar tripa, cada día se la veía más torpe (hasta se caía de lomo al saltar) y comenzó perder el interés por jugar (ni con la caña de pescar siquiera).Ahí fue cuando tomé la determinación de hacer algo para intentar frenar su ansiedad (y eso no creo que pase restringir la comida) y vi este comedero:Se trata de una base plástica (con antideslizante en la parte de abajo) y una tolva roscada sobre ella (en la que se mete la comida) que se levanta sobre una serie de bocas de tunel.Por estas bocas cae, por el propio efecto de la gravedad, la comida que metemos en la tolva. El mecanismo, como podéis ver, es muy sencillo. Además, se puede regular la apertura de la tolva (y así adaptarse a los distintos tamaños de croqueta) abriendo más o menos la rosca de la tolva.Una vez la comida está en las bocas del tunel, el gato tiene que meter la pata para sacar la comida, ya que en los túneles no le entra el morro. La consecuencia es la que se pretende: que “sude” cada croqueta y que coma hasta que se aburra de sacar croquetas, no hasta que se termine las croquetas (que es lo que hace un gato ansioso y/o castrado). No es ningún juego de inteligencia ni nada parecido, así que el gato no se aburrirá de él.Desde el primer día que lo hemos utilizado, la actitud de la gata cambió por completo: está casi casi como antes de operarla: come muchas veces y a poquitos, juega más con lo que ya no está tan torpe y ya no se la ve tan hinchada.Adicionalmente, el cacharro me parece apropiado también como comedero para cuando el gato se quede solo en casa un fin de semana. La capacidad de la tolva estimo que pueda dar para casi unos 3 días de pienso de un gato adulto, y el pienso va cayendo conforme se vacían los túneles: si tu gato se adapta a este comedero (la nuestra no tuvo ni un problema), probablemente puedas utilizarlo también para eso ya que ellos solos vuelven a autogestionarse.Y todo esto por 11,99€. Estoy que no me lo creo.
