I have a digger. She wastes so much food. In the picture it looks like there are edges that would stop this? Is this the case?

There are edges to prevent this, it's a ledge type thing. However it does snap off for cleaning and one of mine figured out they could pry it off. I just put it back on and never leave it off. It should definitely slow down her digging though. It did mine.

Hi.. No it won't..it's actually smooth.. My ferret is also a digger and gets food all over. I've learned to only full the bowl up half way with either food or water. He still diggs but not as often., it's not as fun when there isn't a ton of food and water to fling out and about! Hope this helps.. D

Honestly, this isn't the same bowl that we had. The ones we did have though kept them from knocking them over, however 1 ferret liked to stick her paws in there and dig still. So there we'd find ourselves scooping it up and putting it back into dish.

Try facing the slicer away from the bunch. Directly facing the bunch is taken as a sign of aggression and could be the reason.

Yeah there is a rubber footing all along the bottom outside edge and it also has little grips. my dog usually pushes his bowls around after he eats but he doesn't with this one. He is a 25 lb doxie so a bigger dog may be able to push it around.

It is a gravity feeder. So, there is a opening in the bottom portion where they eat as needed but there in nothing holding anything back. If they keep on eating the food will all keep flowing down (but not out).

Possibly... The grooves are pretty deep so some might get stuck at the bottom, depending on how aggressive your dog would be to get it all. We use ours for dry food only, and it has really slowed our dog down!

No it does not and it is a problem. I waste a lot of food because the small pieces can't be put through or you have to cut it up with a knife. That kind of defeats the purpose of this. I use mine but wish I had gotten a different kind.

I've seen that occur, but by the time it starts the bake cycle, there's no indication of leftover bits in the corners. It doesn't happen all the time with mine, either.

No - if your composting vegetation (no meet) there doesn't seem to be much animal attraction. Occasionally mice get in, but if you stir your compost regularly, that would take care of that (I'm not a regular mixer of compost). I also put flat patio blocks around my composter that seems to prevent digging. But, if you do that, make sure that you're not blocking air flow. It's best to put them flush with the ground. And I don't recommend putting an impervious bottom below the composter. I like the worms and insects to get in and help the decay.

Not a problem...there is an angle, but you just tip the plunger a bit & it empties completely. There is no ridge to trap anything. Very easy to manage & clean. Works great!

Check feeder for food clogging. You can also email the company, they are very helpful.

the piece that lays in the bottom has 2 flaps on it, they go where the holes are, make sure they look like they are upside down . fill your bottom container with water before you put the soil in also, that helps so the soil will not go into the bottom part.

Mine just throws dirt and pebbles all over. I did see other models with a rubber flap for this purpose. It stpos debris from going all over.

Ok, I'm really bewildered here. Y'all are saying the newer models have a flap to prevent this. But mine is only about a month old, and it doesn't have this flap. It would be great if it did - one of my cats can get food all day/night, and it's not helping with the portion control idea. She's just eating all the time. I'm trying to think of a makeshift way of adding my own, but why is it that some of you have one actually included on yours?

Yes! There are drainage holes throughout the entire base of the strainer. The solid base piece is an open ring and does not impede drainage at all. It is a fabulous strainer. I have had both sizes for several years now and love them. Best strainers I have ever had, and they are very easy to clean.

Yes, the bottom is open, so the worms can get up into it and feast - good for the composting process. I dug out about six inches since we live in a windy area and I wanted it more secure than with just the stakes.

I had blk labs that were diggers. I used the holes to discard their waste. It works. The other question also has an easy answer. Yes! Remember, if you have a small yard, you want to maximize their space. To do that, attach the copper to your fence so that your dog can walk to it, but is prevented from digging if he lingers too long. To carve a parameter for your garden, cut into the loop, splice the two ends into another loop with enough copper to twist every inch until you reach the garden. The twist creates a fault intolerance that cancels the radio signal. It's hard to describe without a diagram. I had blk labs that were diggers. I used the holes to discard their waste. It works.

I would just look for the reusable pouches that fill from the bottom...the holes on these pouches is so narrow you can only fill these with the silkiest of purees...other wise they clog or don't allow air to escape and shoot contents from the tops of the fill tubes. Wasted food, pouches, AND a mess to clean up.
