ABSTRACT:
An animal feeder maintains animal feed in a protected condition until the feed is desired by an animal. As configured for usage, the feeder includes a feed container of dish character and a support structure supporting the container in a position to be approached by an animal. A cover is carried in hinging relationship for movement between positions covering and uncovering the container. When uncovered, the container is protected from the elements, but when uncovered permits the animal to feed from the feed container. A treadle surrounds at least a portion of the container for being stepped upon by an animal when in any of a plurality of locations near the container. The treadle is interconnected with the cover for causing movement to the open position in response to weight of the animal upon the treadle and for permitting the cover to close when the animal's weight is removed. A fluid container interengageable with the support structure of the apparatus is adapted to be filled with water or other fluid for isolating the food container from ground crawling insects.
