#49025

Hi Ted,I too was having a persistent Cat getting in and eating the hogs food, I did a re-designed on the feeding station. My station is a plastic storage container, about 2 1/2 feet long,by about 14 Inches wide, and 7 or 8 inches in depth, I cut an entrance hole (using a heated 4 inch nail,held in Grips to melt the plastic, so it would’nt crack or shatter) at one side, on the end of the box, then created 2 baffle walls to ceiling/ lid height, inside with only a 5 inch walkway for the hogs, that left an area at the far end of the storage box, that was more than plenty of room for the dishes and room for the hogs to move.The double baffle walls,and low ceiling have done the job, no more cats getting in Ted👍😄.I also put newspaper down in the dish chamber,with a light covering of Meadow Hay,and spread that out to the entrance, they seem to like it,lol Cheers, and good luck Ted, 🙏🤞👍Shada(newbie).
