A feeding device for feeding animals, such as pigs or hogs, comprises a tubular feed reservoir (16) having a feed discharge opening at its lower end (17). The feeding device also comprises a base member (10) defining a feed support surface (12), which is closely spaced from the lower end (17) of a discharge tube (27) communicating with the reservoir (16). Troughs (11) may be arranged adjacent to the feed support (12), and the bottom surfaces (13) of the troughs are located on a lower level than the feed support surface (12). The reservoir (16) is suspended at its upper part in a pendulum-like manner and transverse movement of the reservoir is restricted by an encircling ring member (18). Animals being fed may push the lower end of the feed discharge tube (27) so that the lower end thereof is moved transversely. The lower length (31) of the feed discharge tube (27) is elastically flexible such that it may be flexed by larger pigs or animals, whereby the lower end of the feed discharge tube (27) may be moved further relative to the base member (10). Thus, the discharge rate of feed adapts itself to the size of the animals being fed.
