They empty the whole thing in less than 48 hours. (25) 1172 If it is open free for all it could be that other species are enjoying the feed. That is where a flip top scores. I have only seen tre rats and mice clever enough to get under the lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George1990 Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 It is a flip top feeder, and the only access is if they opened the lid and get their head in. They often actually climb in completely and sit in there munching away. I have a trail camera on it and haven't seen anything else in there, but I guess a small mouse may not be triggering the system. I have monitored it close closely and the level of feed seems to match the level on the camera when squirrels are visiting. One squirrel seems to eat a hell of lot though. I have watched them put it away! Hoping to draw them in from far and wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
