ABSTRACT:
A feeding station for dispensing food or water to small animals. The feeding station having two support members at an angle to one another, and a plurality of apertures in said support members in sets of upper and lower cooperating apertures. A bottle having an angular configuration is adapted to be inserted in said apertures in the support members. The angle or bend in the bottle abuts against one of the support members preventing the bottle from “falling out” of the feeding station. The bottle are further retained in the housing by abutting against the other support member and a resilient strap from above, which permits the lamb or other small animal t o “bunt” the bottle to simulate natural feeding. The feeding station is adapted to mounted on a vertical member and feed more than one small animal at a time.
