during the peak feeding season my bg would eat all that the feeder was throwing at each setting very rapidly. i could press the test button and make it throw feed again and they would keep on. i think they would eat like that for 4 or 5 blast from the sweeney feeder at one time. i usually have it set to feed for a few seconds and the test is for 1 second only. i tried to catch the food once to see how much it was throwing each time. it was hard for me to get a cup in front of the outlet. the food was about to beat my arm off coming out.. I GAVE UP QUICKLY!!!
