Self Sufficient Queen
Since their head and their butt are about the same height, there will be the occasional poop in the feeder....
I love the mineral feeders from TSC. I mount some on the wall for the baking soda and loose minerals. I put a plastic block (a horse jump I had from years ago, you could use a cinder block) under it for the growing baby, I just removed it as she is almost three months and the same height as my pygmies, so now they can all reach it.
I made one into a removable feeder by mounting a scrap of 1x2 a little bit out from the wall, creating a slot that the bottom backside of the mineral feeder fits into. Then I put a small peice of 1x2, maybe 2.5 inches long, at the top, held with one screw in the center so it can turn. I put the feeder in the slot and then use the little board to latch it in place. Works great. I can easily take it down to clean it. Cost me three screws in hardware. Hope this makes some sense.

Too lazy to walk back up to the house, I just ended up screwing it in at an angle, simple and effective. I used it for the doeling's milk meals, I could remove it for cleaning each time. Now that she is weaned from milk, it is her treat feeder, so she will jump into her stall without any hassle at all, for some carrot bits and alfalfa pellets. I love it!
Maybe dh will help with that this weekend.....
