Before, going somewhere on vacation was a matter that caused a lot of problems. After all, in case you had a pet at home, you had to somehow feed it. And here the neighbors entered the business, who were asked to look after their favorites. Now this problem does not arise, if we talk about some pets, for example, about fish. A fish feeder will come to your aid! Now your pets will be well fed and you won’t have to worry about them.
The fish feeder is very easy to use. On it you can set the time and dose you need, fill in the feed and go on vacation with a calm soul! Starvation does not threaten your fish.
In their arrangement, such feeders differ from each other. You can choose it, for example, depending on the size of the drum you need. The larger it is, the more food will fit there, and the longer the device can provide fish with food. In addition, the fish feeder can be designed for a different number of feeds per day: from one to four (it all depends on the type of device). Also, a compressor can be connected to the feeder, which ventilates the feed and keeps it fresh for a long time. However, some devices do not need compressors - they are already designed to preserve feed for a long time. Well, there is a property that any fish feeder has - this is setting the portion size and the exact time.
Various companies produce these products, and each of them has its own advantages. For example, a Juwel fish feeder can be used in absolutely any aquarium, and understanding its operation will not be difficult. She can be programmed to feed twice a day, the interval between feedings is set at six hours. The amount of feed placed in the dosing tank is enough for sixty feedings. If the humidity in the room in which the aquarium is located is increased, then this feeder will certainly suit you, as it is equipped with an air pump that ventilates the drum.
Another fish feeder, Eheim, is not inferior in properties to its "sisters". This device, like the previous one, runs on batteries and allows you to feed your underwater pets four times a day. The device will notify you about a low battery charge, so you can be sure that the auto-feeder will not fail at the most inopportune moment. In addition, this device is equipped with a special fan that blows feed in the container and prevents it from sticking together and excessive moisture. The undoubted advantage of this feeder is that it is not very large in size, but at the same time the feed that can be placed in it is enough for a month (with the maximum number of feeds per day).
There are many different types of feeders, and which one you choose will depend on your own preferences. We talked about the two most popular models so that you can take into account a number of factors that will help make your purchase sensible and useful and will not let you regret the money spent.
