2069958 9203042 PCTABS00010 An animal activated feeder (10) has a base (11) which supports a central cradle (17) for rotation about a central axis. A circular food bowl (40) having a number of receptacles (41) can be positioned on the cradle (17) to rotate with it, or lifted off for cleaning. The base (11) includes a central spring housing (13) having a flat helical torsion spring (14) ("clock spring") which causes rotation of the cradle (17), and therefore the food bowl (40), but rotation is indexed in increments by a pet activated foot pedal (29) which is pivoted to the base and has a finger (28) lying in the path of travel of lugs (25) of a first group which project from the cradle (17). Indexing is limited to feed one receptacle (41) at a time, preventing spinning of the food bowl, by a second group of lugs (24) projecting from the cradle and when the foot pedal (29) is depressed, the finger (28) moves from the path of travel of the first group of lugs (25) and into the path of travel of the lugs (24) of the second group.
