A cage for receiving a multiple dosage feeder is provided. The multiple dosage feeder includes a food holding feeder member and a feeder housing member disposed in an opening in the cage. The food holding member holds a plurality of measured dosages of food or other substances, and at least a portion of the food holding member extends to the cage-interior side of the opening. A snap lock releasably secures the feeder housing member to the wall of the multiple dosage feeder. At least a portion of the food holding member is rotatable within the housing member so as to expose the single dosage of the plurality of dosages, while the housing member prevents access to any remaining dosages on the cage-interior side of the opening.
