Abstract: An animal feeder includes: a tray assembly defining at least one sloped feed dish; a reservoir communicating with the tray assembly, the reservoir having a fill opening, wherein the reservoir is defined by a pair of spaced-apart end plates interconnected by a pair of spaced-apart side panels, wherein: the end plates have tabs which are received in slots of the side panels; and the side panels have tabs which are received in slots of the tray assembly; dispensing openings formed in a wall of the reservoir configured to permit granular animal feed to flow by gravity from the reservoir into the at least one sloped feed dish; and wherein each of the dispensing openings is partially blocked by at least one finger formed in the wall of the reservoir.

Abstract: A method of making an animal feeder includes: cutting a plurality of blanks from sheet material, forming at least one flange in at least one of the blanks and forming at least one opening in at least one of the blanks, so as to define a plurality of components, the plurality of components configured to define the animal feeder when assembled, wherein the animal feeder includes: a tray assembly defining at least one sloped feed dish; a reservoir communicating with the tray assembly, the reservoir having a fill opening; and dispensing openings formed in a wall of the reservoir configured to permit granular animal feed to flow by gravity from the reservoir into the at least one sloped feed dish.
