I think the larger stationary feeders are built a little different than that, which might make this type of 'robbery' very difficult. But I've had great success with this little feeder and it has been working well for me the past 5 yrs. Only replaced the battery last year for the first time.

DrLuke, sounds like this type of feeder is easier on batteries. I'm lucky to get 2 years on mine.
