Auto Feeder But Not Every Day

[chokko]

are there any auto-feeders out there than can be programmed to only feed every 2nd day for example?

I'm not too sure about that... You see automatic feeders are rather simple, and have a certain time set.
So i'm afraid that might not exist, but dont count on it

my auto feeder is made by pet mate and has 16 individual compartments so you can just leave a compartment empty to miss a day.Here's a link http/www.pet-mate.com/uk/ShopOnline.aspx?Department_ID=3&Action=Home&category_id=24

ah now that's a cool suggestion - thanks for the link.

beats my idea of getting a non-digital mains powered auto-feeder, and plugging it into a 24hr timer device to ensure the auto-feeder only has power for 12 out of every 24 hours

That was actually an excellent idea 133d5.dr! +1

Cool suggestion l33d5.dr, now I do not have to ask my neighbor to help babysit my fish whenever I need to be away for about 3 to 5 days. Thanks i33d5.dr

Glad I could help. Just a word of warning, condensation can get into the feeder and cause the food to clog up.There is an option to fit an air line from your pump but I stand mine on a couple of old books so it's about 3 inch above the lid and it works fine.
