Miller Little Giant Flip-Top Feeder
The Miller Little Giant Flip-Top Feeder is a market-leading choice for small-animal keepers who want rugged, high-capacity gravity feeding with a flip-top access point that dramatically speeds refills and limits spillage. While typically priced higher than compact options like Lixit or the Living World combo, its heavy-duty construction and larger volume deliver better long-term value for multi-animal households or outdoor hutches where durability matters. Compared with the chew-resistant Ware unit, Little Giant focuses more on capacity and rapid servicing rather than bite-proof materials.
