Making a feeder for your pet is a simple task.
Ensuring that your pet has plenty of food available can be a challenge when you work long days, travel or care for outdoor pets that you may not see on a daily basis. This challenge can easily be rectified by making a pet feeder from a 5-gallon bucket. This easy-to-make pet feeder will ensure that your pet has fresh food available even when you are not around.
Instructions
1. Remove the lid from the 5-gallon bucket and set it aside. Then, clean the 5-gallon bucket that you will be using for your pet feeder with some water and mild soap.
2. Draw a half-moon shape on the bottom of one side of the bucket with a permanent marker. Draw the half-moon shape, so it is no taller than 1-inch high at its tallest section and it slopes down until it meets the base of the bucket.
3. Use the jigsaw to cut the half-moon shape out of the bucket.
4. Place the cookie sheet where you want your pet to feed. Corners of rooms are ideal so that your pet does not try to push around the feeder.
5. Fill the bucket with your pet's food. Then, replace the lid back onto the bucket and place the bucket on top of the cookie sheet. The half-moon opening should be facing toward the area in which your pet will feed. As needed, food will pour out of the bucket and onto the cookie sheet.
