Depending on the amount of food you dispense with each feeding,yes. The drum probably holds about 1/3 of a cup of food. The battery will last more than a month. I am not sure if the amount of food dispensed will change from day one to day 30.

It does for me. It will depend on how often and how much you feed them. I feed three times a day and I think I have the opening slid three clicks back.

It depends on how much you need to feed your fish. Also chop up the flakes so it does clog up. I love this feeder. It Is well worth the money. I would purchase again for sure.

It depends on the size of the opening that you select. However, the vendor says it will fed for six weeks under normal conditions.

I use mine for longer than that ! Long haul truck driver sometimes I cannot make it home on a regular time.

I believe so. I just used it for two weeks and still had more than half the food left. It would depend, of course, on how much you feed and how often. I fed the most that can be fed, once per day. The amount of food can be adjusted and you can feed up to four times a day.

For a 29 gallon tank I bought 2 of these and have one feed in the morning and one in the evening. That way if something happens to one of them the fish will at least get fed once per day. I take a 2-3 week trip every year and never had a problem with this feeder. Most fish can survive a week or two without food, the bigger threat to them is over feeding. Better to feed smaller amounts twice per day. I also put a corner filter in the tank in addition to the external filter when I'm away for more than a week. It adds aeration should something happen to clog the main filter.

It depends on how much you are feeling your fish. I only feed my tank a pinch of food twice a day. At that rate I think my food will last for three months.

I do, but it's a lot to type so I found the manual online for you. http://www.qpets.com/en/upload/proimg/Qpets_Automatic_feeder_AF_100.pdf Happy programming.

It is not that simple. First you need to set the time, then program the meal size, then the meal times. The instructions are clear, but it all needs to be done before any feeding occurs. The great flexibility in settings is great for one feeder to cover a wide range of environments. But it takes some work to get it to work right.

Once you program the feeder, it is set until you change it. You can set it for the amount to dispense, as well as the frequency. The feeder is set for even intervals ( eg: 1/4 cup 4 times per day). The only reason I reprogram it is because there can be too much - or too little - food. A weekend shouldn't be a problem. You can also use batteries if you have any concerns about power going off. And you can record your voice and call your cat to come eat!

No. The clock is a 24 hour timer and the feed times are set in this format. The feeder will skip the 6th day in a schedule.

I have had my feeder for one year and have not had to replace anything on it. I don't know if parts are available...

yes you can, I believe the battery would last over a year and a half or so.. it will not stop automatically after 3 months though, in other words, you can´t program an end date.

You can plug the feeder into an electric plug. I just went to Radio Shack to get one. Bring the manual so they know what Volts/Amps you need and the connector type.

I think there are 6 different feed times you can set and feeder can be set to go off from 1 to 30 seconds

You should be fine with this feeder. There is a little sliding "door" that adjusts for the size of the food and the amount you want to fall out per feeding. The big button in the back will allow you to test the food quantity that is dropped before you have to wait for any timer setting you have set. I've used this with very tiny turtle pellets and with the turtle sticks. It does well with different types of food. The only thing I didn't like it with was fish flakes.They tend to stick because of the moisture. But pellets and sticks work just fine in my experience.

I have the Petmate feeder. It's great. You can program up to three meals per day and you can set the feed amounts to 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup, full cup and the same intervals up to 2 cups.

Yes. I plan on having 3 feeders out at a time and will rotate them with freshly cleaned and refilled ones. In the hot temps. they need refilled almost daily.

Setting the timer on the feeder is very simple. It is much more like setting a cooking timer than programming a DVR. I'm sure that your petsitter can handle it.

I use my feeder with a digital timer. I can control the "time" the feeder dispenses food and the amount. I can set the timer to dispense a snack at 9:00 am for 3 seconds for a snack size portion and at say 3:00 p.m. for 10 seconds or more for a normal feeding amount. The digital timer is capable of 8 programmable feeding times and amounts.

My cat feeders topped worked after the first couple of months. It also has to be on battery or electric so when the electricity goes out it stops working. I am so disappointed, so we are back to leaving a humongous bowl of food out. We do leave her for up to a wake at a time. Thank heavens my automatics littler box seems to be a Trojan house! Good luck
