ABSTRACT:
An animal feeder has a base member forming a feeding dish and an upright feed dispensing member from which new feed flows into the dish to replace that consumed by an animal. One of the members has detent projections which engage detent receiving grooves on the other member when the members are forced together. The construction enables easy and very rapid assembly without the use of tools or fastening devices such as screws, nails or the like. The feeders may be warehoused, transported and stocked in retail outlets in space and cost saving disassembled form without presenting purchasers with a difficult assembly task. The construction may include a moat around the dish portion for entrapping spillage and a configuration which inhibits displacement by activities of an animal.
