Little Giant Durable Weatherproof 15 Gallon Rubber Tub Feeder Pan Bowl, Black

i use it for my goats water they love it. It’s a decent size it holds a lot I have one that’s been out in the weather for years and is still holding up as well as it was used in a pig pen and still in pretty much new condition other than some fading.

This versatile tub is awesome for my small backyard farm. I have a flock of chickens + rescued cats and dogs all who love to roam in the backyard and this tub ensures they all have plenty of fresh water available. It's easy to keep clean and very sturdy. Definitely love this for my special pets.

This tub has a large capacity for multi-use needs. It’s fully weather proof crush proof crack proof freeze proof which means it can stay outside year round and is basically invincible. It’s flexible yet holds its shape still easy to pick up with one hand. It’s large but not too heavy. While its main purpose may be intended for larger animals’ feeding tub it could be used for a wide variety of things. Storage a small pool for ducks and such gardening needs and beyond. The label includes a Prop 65 warning stating that users will be exposed to materials known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. This gave me pause so I looked into the materials of this the warning and the company’s statement. Apparently the language changed for Prop 65’s back in 2018 and the Little Giant company changed their labels to comply. Many of their products include a steel core that if you come into contact will expose you to nickel which can cause these stated concerns. Their products are finished/covered in other materials so you really wouldn’t be coming into direct contact unless something comprised the outer material. That said this tub is made of corded rubber and does not appear to have any nickel in it. Reading up on what corded rubber is made from in general it appears to be safe even generally food safe although I personally wouldn’t with this particular tub. The company also states it is safe for animals. Ultimately I give 4 stars because it has a STRONG smell to it. Putrid rubber. The kind that gets on your hands and remains even if you wash them. I opened this tub outside and it was still overwhelming. With time and airing out it has gotten better but the smell is still there. Maybe with more weeks/months it will eventually go away but for now it remains still somewhat stinky.

The overall design of the tub is perfect for liquids like watering or for use of feed . We have horses who like to nibble on feeders or on buckets and this would be great because it’s rubber on the thicker side and won’t break if nibbled on. Good too if you have a dog who likes pool time !!! lol

Very durable water bowl made from hard rubber. Has some flexibility and can fit almost anywhere. Does have a stronge rubber smell at the beginning.
