Poor Dean. Yes, they do that...the little thieves! I can't be sure if it has been the ferals or the raccoons (I'm pretty sure it isn't the possums) but I went through a few multi-day feeders before I finally gave up and stopped using them altogether. Never found any of them again...no idea where they took them. I'm pretty sure they took them to play with them...the feeders have 3 parts each and they like to pull them apart and use them as toys once they clean them of food. I have a cat hut on the porch and I have a mat, a Whisker City foam litter one, on the hut's roof and now I just place the food, all dry, directly on it. Every morning it's clear of food again and I just replace the mat when it gets really raggedy, usually every 4-6 months. They're not that expensive and so far they've proven to be too big for any of the critters to abscond with them, though they do play with the mat and pull it off the hut roof, and they don't like the taste of the material so they don't chew them. Don't know if that's something that would work for you.
