Here in South Mississippi, we have had several days of rain in a row, including a couple of monsoon days where the rain was coming in sideways at times.
Imagine my surprise, when I went to the pond yesterday and the feeder went off but NOTHING happened. I could hear the motor running and there was plenty of feed in the feeder. Battery was fully charged!
After emptying about 40 lbs of feed, I found the issue. Moisture had created a thick 'paste' from wet pellets that was clogging the intake. Taking a small stick, I cleaned out the 'paste' and tested the feeder. It worked again!!!
I posted this for folks who are NOT actively monitoring your feeder weekly. After a long period of rain, I advise you check the feeder to make sure it is actively throwing food.
