Feeder Trixie TRIXIE 5499 — stainless steel housing, metal bowl

Trixie metal screw-on bowl TX-5499 is a 900 ml capacity feeding and water bowl designed for attachment to cages, carriers, or dedicated holders. Constructed from metal, the bowl offers a hard-wearing surface that withstands frequent use and is easy to sanitize. Its screw-on mounting mechanism secures the bowl to wire or solid frames to prevent tipping and spillage, making it suitable for small pets, breeding enclosures, veterinary setups and travel arrangements where a stable, washable container is required.

Advantages

The metal construction provides durability and simple cleaning with water and mild detergents. The screw-on fixing keeps the bowl stable and reduces the chance of displacement by active animals. With a 900 ml capacity, the bowl is large enough for multiple feedings or sustained water supply without occupying excessive cage space. The smooth interior surface resists residue build-up and supports hygienic maintenance.

Suitable for

• Small mammals and rodents in cages (e.g., rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters)
• Breeding and boarding enclosures where secure feeding is needed
• Veterinary and clinic use for controlled feeding or hydration
• Travel carriers and temporary housing requiring a fixed container

Key specifications

• Capacity: 900 ml
• Material: metal
• Mounting: screw-on attachment for cages and holders
• Finish: smooth interior for easy cleaning
• Intended use: feeding and water bowl for small animals

How to use

Attach the bowl to a compatible cage or holder using the screw-on mechanism, ensuring the fixing is tightened securely but not over-torqued to avoid damage to the frame. Position the bowl at an appropriate height for the animal to access easily. Fill with food or fresh water and check daily for cleanliness and sufficient supply. Remove the bowl periodically for cleaning with warm water and mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and dry before reattaching.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the mounting regularly to ensure it remains secure, especially with active animals. Replace the bowl if signs of corrosion or deformation appear. For hygiene, wash and refill the bowl daily when used for water and clean more thoroughly after each feeding session if soiled.
