Abstract
An animal feeder with moat protection having a center food section with the outer periphery thereof being of a height above the outer periphery of the feeder, and having a moat surrounding the food section, thereby preventing crawling insects, and ants, from contaminating the food in the food section, bugs and ants not being able to traverse the moat. A water supply section is affixed onto the outer periphery of the moat, sometimes being a part of the moat with the water supply section being more shallow than the moat so that the animal can drink all of the water in the water supply section while leaving water in the moat.
