    We got a couple for our boys but one of them started tipping the feeders over to knock food out. We built some boxes to enclose the feeders and prevent this, and then the little shit learned he can jostle food loose by getting his paw up into the dispenser area and manhandling the impeller. The noise this makes sounds very similar to someone attempting to break into our home, and as a result we have switched back to manual feeding, and will just use the automatic feeders when we’re planning to be away overnight.



  • My parents (80s/90s kid) thought that sugar caused hyperactivity so I was very severely limited on what I could have. Candy for rewards at school was always sugar free and provided by my folks, when I trick or treated I was only given Halloween night to go buck wild and then the remainder was set aside as a one-a-day treat after dinner assuming I was good that day. I think the whole sugar>hyperactivity thing was debunked but they never really changed their tune on it. Once I was able to buy my own food I developed a bit of a sweet tooth, but I ironically am far more dependent on caffeine than sugar in my daily consumption. In my 40s now, not unhealthy or overweight and if I ever get around to improving my diet it will be reducing my alcohol intake.

    I’ve been in the same situation as a dude with a lady, and when she said “oh you don’t need that” I momentarily panicked and said “well you don’t really know where I’ve been.” She put two and two together and realized that I also was saying I didn’t know where SHE had been either and it wasn’t an issue, but I definitely considered it a red flag considering we’d known each other for about 48 hours at that point. The relationship did not last very long.
