A feeder solves the holiday problem and, more usefully, keeps portions consistent when the household forgets who fed the tank. Miscava stocks programmable feeders for flake and pellet food.
Are automatic feeders reliable?
Modern ones generally are, provided you test the portion setting for a week before relying on it. The common failure is not the motor but damp food clumping in the hopper, so keep it sealed and use pellets where you can.
How long can a feeder cover a trip?
Most hold enough for two to four weeks at one or two small feedings a day. For anything longer, it is worth having someone check the tank in person, since a feeder cannot notice a failed heater or a dead fish.
