A feeding device (1) is intended for use for feeding piglets. The feeding device comprises a pivotally pipe (2) mounted on a frame in a position below a hopper (10). A control bar (15) extends through the hopper (10) and the pipe (2) and is fastened to the lower end of the pipe by means of a fitting (25). The control bar (15) is made of an elastically flexible material and may be displaced in a slide bushing (16) in order to adjust the elastic flexibility by adjusting the length of the free section (33) of the bar (15). The pipe (2) may thus be deflected when animals push to the lower end in order to eat fodder on a fodder plate (4). Subsequent to a deflection the pipe will take its neutral starting position. By suitable dimensioning of the bar (15) an elastic flexibility is achieved in an easy and simple way, whereby the feeding device may be adjusted to animals of different sizes and especially to piglets.
