First off, there is nothing wrong with this feeder that hangs on the side of the cage. My problem is that it is too big. Yes, I knew it was 8' long. It is just much deeper and wider than expected. I only need something about 1/4 this size to hold a little bit of kibble. If you want something to put more stuff into, this will work just fine and I will use it and adjust as necessary. Also, I had to take a bit of plastic off of the cage hooks as they didn't fit between the 1/2' coated-wire dimension. -John R.
