Is this a one day feeder How many days can it feed

The feeder has a capacity of 80 gr in each chamber and can adjust the amount of food delivered and can be programmed to operate up to three times per day, therefore, the number of days it works is based on the programming used, because while you have the batteries charged, will continue to function, but maybe the food is finished

This is not a one day feeder. It has a timer that operates both feed bins. I have a 125 gallon tank and I have used it on vacation up to ten days with no problems. I would say that the amount of days would depend on the amount of food and the number of feeding you give your fish each day. The only problem I have had(and is true of other feeders also) is that it does a better job with pellet food then with flake food.

It depends on the type and amount of food fed. You can feed multiple times each day. For a typical 50 gallon tank this feeder would last two to three weeks.Tom

Depends on the number of fish, I have eight large goldfish and after one week there was plenty left in the hoppers, I'm planning a three week vacation soon and am planning use it again then. Mind you because it's an outside pond the fish can manage if it does run out but I'm pretty confident it won't.

U can set it to feed as u like many diffferent settings, multiple feedings in one day

Depends on how many fish you have. I use it when on vacation with a 36g bowfront and 30 fish. I've gone 12 days and had food left even though it tends to overfeed.

It is designed to feed for multiple days. The number of days depends upon the size of food, how often you want it to feed per day and the quantity of food per feeding. All these things can be programmed to your specifications. The longest we have used our feeder was 7 days and only about one-half of the food was used.

old job i had 3 of them in a 400 gal salt water tank i had to refill them one a week feed 3 time a day

It depends on how much you set it up to feed and the size of your food. I was gone for 9 days, worked fine for me. It is complicatied to program, but once you figure it out it will make sense, but it did take me a while......

I did not like this feeder, I use flakes and when I tried test runs it did not put flakes in my tank.

We have only few fishes in our tank (mostly soft corals and 6 fishes). When we tried to feed fish and used smallest setting it was still too much of the pellets end up on the bottom of the tank, so we stop using it. I guess it can be calculated (considering whole amount and amount dispenced on each feeding based on smallest or largest setting) for how many days it can be set for. Plus, consider how many time a day feeding ocuur.

yes it feeds everyday either once, twice, or 3 times at the time and quantity you program it. i suggest you try it out before your vacation to make sure it's running ok and the batteries are fine. i also suggest making sure it stays dry somewhere if it's outside, and untippable/unopenable. the kitty's friends may come crash the party if they smell the kibble. or some rabbits or racoons too

4 times a day and it can rotate once for a single feed or twice for a double feed

Hi Stacy, yes, it can dispense up to three times per day and feeds daily. It just seems to be flimsy (especially the plastic container) and easily knocked over and opened by larger dog...good luck, Julie

You can feed multiple times per day AND more than one feeding at a time. Easy to program.

No, unfortunately. batteries do last along time. You can probably get a year out of one set of batteries with 2 feeds a day.

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.

you can set this to feed up to 4 time a day, and how much you feed them each time has multiple positions. I have a 20 gallon tank with 12 fish. i feed them 3 times a day and have it on the middle setting for quantity. It lasts at around 2 weeks. make sure you break the fish flakes up when you load the feeder, or they will jam up. also make sure you raise the feeder high enough away from the water line so the door that flips open doesnt touch the water or it will also jam up from wet food. its a great feeder!

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 believe you can program it to feed 3 times a day. We have it set for twice a day. You only have I program it once unless you want to change it. It may have to be programmed again when the batteries die. I don't know about that yet.

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.

i used it once a week . i heard of others that use it every feeding ! i guess it is a matter of choice . hope that helps !

We feed once a day and get stools twice. It usually depends on how often you feed per day and what treats they get.

You set your feed times up to 6 a day. You can not set individual days of the week. So to answer your question you can only set up to 6 feeding a day or as little as 1 a day

The answer depends on how much your feeding your pet. You can set up to three feedings and give 1/2 cup to 2 cups each feeding. I fill the feeder with a 9.3lbs bag of dog food. I set the feeder to give 1/2 cup three times a day. It lasts about 16days.
