can you leave this out for winter feeding?

we take this tiffany inspired bird bath in for the winter. I think it might crack under cold winter weather.

I left mine out in the winter and it cracked so sad now I have to order another.

I haven't had this over the winter and I live in California where winters are mild but I would think that it would be fine.

I would not leave it outside for the winter for two reasons. One the housing is plastic and if water was inside it would freeze and crack. Second the inside float is cardboard like and it would deteriorate.

No. Not necessarily. It can be used in the springduring build up and the fall as bees prepare for winter. I know some who feed it all year to weak hives. If you live in an area with less diversity in flowering plants, i'd consider it.

I wove fishing line between the lid and the hook at the top, to make sure the top doesn't get lost, AGAIN. It fell off during a snowstorm, and it was weeks before I could find it in the snow. If you are worrying about it blowing off your the hook where you are hanging it, reinforce it with fishing line or something comparable. Otherwise it is a good feeder for the little birds.

I don't think you can because it's plastic. We just bring a metal bucket of water out during the winter because it freezes up by the end of the day. The plastic bucket is prone to cracking because of the expanding from heat and cold. You might want to invest in a heated one, or just use it for the summer.

I live in southeastern ohio and this is the first year I've had the pool. Was debating on leaving it up or not. When reading the instructions it does say you can leave it up for winter. Not sure what to do.

We did leave ours all all winter and kept it well covered. We did NOT use it all winter...too cold where we live in Michigan to enjoy grilling out. It seems to be fine. Our little Green Egg also stays out year round and the only issue with that have been rusting hinges.

I never froze mine but that might be ok to keep it fresh,freeze part and keep some out to feed

No. It needs to be periodically defrosted. I have had mine for a little over a year and it is about time.

My intent is to clean it out and store it for the winter. This is the first winter we have used it so I do not know how it will handle the freeze / thaw with the soil left in place.

My daughter has not taken it apart since we gave it to them for our granddaughter, so I don't know the answer to your question. They leave it out all winter, I think.

Hi, it is my first year, I plan to take it down over winter, but not sure yet.Technically there is no need to do so. But I might want to move it in another place anyhow.

Yes. It can be left outside in all weather. I left mine out all spring, summer and fall and had no issues with the weather.

I like to keep all dog food cool and tightly covered. In winter the porch is a refrigerator for me. I think since Honest kitchen is dried so it should keep well as long as it doesn't get moisture in it.

Yes, but you need to crush it very fine, and be very careful with how you set the feeding door. Large flakes will block it, and you may end up with the feeder not feeding at all.

I would not put it permanently. We left ours outside over the winter and some to the components inside froze and no longer work. But leaving it out all season should be fine.

You don't NEED to but it will last longer if frozen - I always do that. It thaws great and toasts great too.
