[0001] The utility model relates to the field of feeding cages, in particular to a feeding cage for mice with a timed feeding function. Background Art

[0002] A cage is an object made of bamboo, wood or plastic for storing animals or objects. It can also be made of wicker. Later it developed into metal. It has various shapes, some are ornamental and some are very practical. With the improvement of living standards, people have a hobby of keeping pets. Hamsters and mice are one type of pets. Hamsters and mice require special breeding cages.

[0003] The existing feeding cage solves the problem of the trouble of existing cleaning and the problem of being not conducive to quick cleaning by arranging a feeding cage body, a U-shaped groove, a limit groove, a circular positioning groove, a bottom receiving block, a limit block, a circular placement groove, a positioning mechanism, an extrusion spring, a circular stopper, a circular positioning block, a strip groove, a sliding rod, a sliding sleeve, a lifting handle and a circular block for coordinated use, thereby solving the problem of the trouble of existing cleaning and being not conducive to quick cleaning. The white mouse feeding cage is easy to clean.

[0004] However, when feeding, the mice need to be fed on a regular basis, but the existing scheduled feeding needs to be set through electronic components. However, the feeding cages carrying electronic chip components are expensive and not popular, so manual scheduled feeding is required. However, when working busy, the feeding event will be forgotten, and thus the feeding cannot be performed on time. Ordinary feeding cages do not have a scheduled feeding function, and the convenience of scheduled feeding cannot be achieved. Utility Model Content
