Feedomatic Automatic Treadle Feeder — Clean, Safe, Pest-Resistant Feeding
What is a treadle feeder?
A treadle feeder is a covered feeder with a foot pedal. When a chicken or duck steps on the pedal, the lid opens so they can eat. When the bird steps off, the lid closes. This keeps mice, rats, and wild birds from stealing or dirtying the feed.
How it works (simple)
-
Fill the hopper with feed and close the lid.
-
Set the weight sensitivity so only your birds can open it (adjusts from 250 g to 2 kg / about 0.5–4.4 lb).
-
Your bird steps on the pedal → lid lifts.
-
Bird steps off → lid shuts, blocking pests, rain, and mess.
Why you’ll love it
-
Stops rodents & wild birds: Closed lid and weight pedal keep pests out—less disease risk and less wasted feed.
-
Keeps feed dry & clean: Splash-proof design, rounded edges, and inside dividers reduce spills and mold.
-
Cleaner ground: Large holes in the pedal let droppings fall through, so the eating area stays tidy.
-
Quiet & sturdy: Thick 1 mm galvanized steel and UV-resistant plastic make it stable, long-lasting, and quieter than all-metal feeders.
-
Easy to refill: Lid stays open while you pour, then locks when you close it.
