what size batteries does the feeder take?

Size D batteries, 3 to be exact. FYI, rechargeable batteries have worked great for me since I can change them before a weekend away.

No idea. I've owned several Uncle Milton Ant Farms. Still own the Giant Ant Farm. No batteries needed at all.

Takes 2 batteries in both units. size 2032. How long they last depends on how much you use it. Mine have lasted for months.

No this feeder does not come with a battery. It takes 4 D batteries or a big 9 volt battery.

I use an AC adapter with my Petmate feeder. The batteries do NOT act as a backup. When you plug in the AC adapter it disconnects the battery power. The only way to go back to battery power is to physically remove the AC adapter plug. Also, I found the Petmate feeder works better with an adapter rated at 800ma.

It does not come with a battery. Takes a "lantern" battery. I have never used the solar panel to charge the batteries on other systems so I am not sure how well they work. It would depend upon how much sunlight you have to keep the solar battery charged. Also, solar batteries cost more than a regular battery. I have usually got a year or more battery life out of a normal battery by running the feeder once a day.

4.5 V, at least 800 mA, tip positive, it says on the bottom of the feeder next to the plug

Sorry for the delay. Timer in feeder and I just got time to recharge battery today. The dimensions are: W = 3 & 1/2 inches, L = 3 & 1/2 inches, Depth = 13/16 inch. HOpe that helps.

Ours uses the disc batteries, size 2032. We buy them at Target or Walmart. Our batteries last a while because we don't use the collar too much and we make sure to turn it off when not in use.

I am so sorry, I misread the question. The feeder will not handle that size paper. Sorry for the confusion.

you can get the batteries at Walmart or K Mart by the Hexbugs display. I'm sorry I can't remember the size.

Yes. The feeder doesn't come with an electric cord, so its set up for battery power. I ordered a compatible electric cord (wasn't sure of the size so order one with interchangeable connectors) for maybe $13. Works great and don't have to worry about battery power failing.

The battery and timer go hand in hand-install battery and set your timer up to 4 feedings or less, plus additional feedings at set times-in addtion you can manually feed as you wish

6 volt with space for 2 batteries. I have had three of them running with a solar panel for 3 years with no problems. One of the best, if not the best feeder timer I have used!

It takes watch sized batteries. The number is 2016. You can buy them online very cheap. They are also available in Home Depot or Radio Shack.
