Stone Feeder Rodent & Rabbit

Concrete Feeding Bowl for rodents and rabbits

The Concrete Rodent & Rabbit Feeder Bowl is a heavy, stable feeder bowl for animals that like to move, lift, or tip over their bowl. Due to its weight, the bowl stays in place much better than a lightweight plastic or thin ceramic bowl. This makes this feeder bowl particularly handy for active rodents, rabbits, and true gnawers who like to “rearrange” their enclosure themselves.

At DRD, when it comes to feed bowls, we look not only at how nice they look, but especially at how they are used in practice. A feed bowl must suit the size of the animal, the amount of food, and the way the animal eats. This concrete feed bowl is available in a small and a larger size, making it easier for you to choose what suits your animal and enclosure.

✔ Ideal for animals that like to move or tip over their food bowl
✔ Chew-resistant concrete, so also suitable for real rodents

Why choose a concrete feed trough?

Some animals eat calmly from their bowls. Others pull, push, throw, or drag their food bowls through the enclosure. That can be funny to watch, but for daily care, a stable bowl is often much more practical. Food stays in one place better, the enclosure remains more organized, and you don't have to gather up spilled food as often.

Concrete is heavy and sturdy. As a result, this food bowl is particularly pleasant for animals that easily move a lightweight bowl. A concrete bowl is also a smart choice for rodents who find plastic or wooden bowls interesting to gnaw on. Moreover, the material fits beautifully into a natural interior, as it has a calm appearance and does not easily distract from wood, cork, bedding, and other natural materials.

The larger size has an additional advantage: for small rodents, it can also be used as a sturdy sand bath. Think of dwarf hamsters, hamsters, or gerbils, who need a stable container that does not immediately shift when they step in or dig.

Which size do you choose?

The Concrete Feeding Bowl is available in two sizes. Choose the size based on the animal, the portion size, and the intended use. For a small animal or a small portion, the compact size is often sufficient. For larger animals, group animals, or use as a sand bath, the larger size makes more sense.

For which animals is the Concrete Feeding Bowl suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a heavy food bowl for food, herbs, or small snacks. For mice, usually choose the small size, unless you want to use the bowl as a sturdy sniffing or sand bath.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as a food bowl or as a sturdy sand bath when you choose the larger size. Due to the weight, the bowl remains more stable in a scape or sand zone.
• Hamster: suitable as a food bowl or sand bath, depending on the size chosen. For Syrian hamsters, the larger size is often more practical if you want more space for food or sand.
• Gerbil: suitable as a chew-resistant food bowl or sturdy sand bath. Gerbils are active diggers and gnawers, making a heavy concrete bowl much more practical than a lightweight tray.
• Dwarf rat: suitable when the chosen size matches the size and use of your dwarf rat. The larger size is useful when multiple animals want to access the litter box at the same time.
• Rat: suitable as a stable food bowl for rats that easily move lightweight bowls. Place the bowl firmly on the floor or on a stable platform.
• Guinea pig: suitable as a heavy food bowl for pellets, herbs, or vegetables. The larger size is often more comfortable for guinea pigs, especially when multiple guinea pigs are eating together.
• Rabbit: suitable as a sturdy food bowl for pellets, herbs, or vegetables. The larger size is usually a better fit for rabbits, as they need more space to eat comfortably from the bowl.
• Chinchilla: suitable as a chew-resistant food bowl. Concrete is useful for chinchillas that quickly move or damage light or fragile bowls.
• Degu: suitable as a heavy, chew-resistant food bowl. Degus are active gnawers, so a sturdy concrete bowl suits their usage habits well.

Use as a food bowl

Use the Concrete Feeding Bowl for dry food, kibble, pellets, herbs, dried flowers, vegetables, or small snacks. Place the bowl on a flat surface so that it stands stably. Due to its weight, the bowl stays firmly in place, even when your pet bumps its paws against the edge or likes to push against the bowl.

For group animals such as rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, the larger size can be beneficial because multiple animals can access the bowl together more easily. This makes feeding more organized and provides more space while eating.

Use as a sandbox for small rodents

The larger size can also be used as a sturdy sand bath for small rodents. This is especially useful for dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils that enjoy digging or rolling in the sand. Because the tray is heavy, it stays in place better than many lightweight sand baths.

Use suitable rodent sand for this and place the tray on a stable spot in the enclosure. Change the sand regularly and remove dirt or bedding when necessary.

Material & dimensions

Material: concrete.

Dimensions: approx. 10 × 10 × 5 cm or 19 × 10 × 5 cm.

Use: food bowl for rodents and rabbits; larger size also suitable as a sturdy sand bath for small rodents.

Concrete is heavy, sturdy, and chew-resistant. As a result, this feeder is well-suited for animals that quickly move light materials or gnaw on them.

Maintenance

Empty the food bowl regularly and remove food residue. Dry residue can easily be tapped out or brushed away. With wet food or vegetables, it is advisable to clean the bowl in good time and let it dry thoroughly before refilling it.

Do you use the larger container as a sandbox? Sift or replace the sand regularly and clean the container whenever dirt or moisture gets into it. This keeps the feeding or sand area fresh and pleasant to use.

Good to know

The concrete feeder is sturdy and stable, but due to its weight, it is best placed low and on a flat surface. Do not place the bowl in a location where it could fall from a height. Check the bowl for damage while cleaning to ensure it remains neat and pleasant to use.
