Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] Because it is difficult to regularly supply and attract different animal species / wild animals in forests, meadows, fields, zoos, animal parks, wildlife gardens, etc. with salts + minerals, medication, etc. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0002] It is therefore the object of the invention to attract wild animals and other animal species and to supply them with salts + minerals, medication, etc. by licking the housing or the underlying material to which the licking housing is attached. SOLUTION

[0003] This task is accomplished by a housing with fine honeycombs, slits, or similar elements. The enclosure is filled with the desired salts, minerals, medications, etc., which escape through the fine openings due to dew, rain, the addition of water, or similar agents, and can then be ingested by the animals, for example, through licking. The salt is very important because it encourages licking at the specific area, thus attracting the salt and ensuring that it always remains moist.

[0004] For dispensing, dosing or administration, plastic housings in the shape of a tree trunk are provided, which are screwed onto a tree trunk so that the animals can lick both the housing and the trunk underneath.

[0005] Another method of administration would be to mount the enclosure on the ground, a wall, or a post so that the animal can lick directly on the enclosure. 1 DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WITH THE DRAWING Fig. 1 shows the salt leak housing / leak housing (1) from the side with the fine passages, e.g. vertical slots (2). Fig. 1 shows the opening (3) of the salt leak housing / leak housing, where the salts + minerals, medicines, etc. are stored or filled. Fig. Figure 2 shows the salt leak housing / leak housing (1.2) from above, with the reinforced base (2.2) and the fine passages (3.2) facing downwards. The reinforced base serves as a mounting element. Fig. 3 shows a sponge (1.3) which protects the contents from direct rain or dirt and can store water in dry periods.
