An animal feeding apparatus has a housing for confining animal food items, such as flake-type fish food, and a mechanism for dispensing the food items from the housing for feeding purposes. The housing has an opening therein communicating with the interior of the housing, and the mechanism has a rotatably mounted member disposed partially within the housing and extending outwardly through the opening. The member has one or more receptacles therein for receiving food items from the interior of the housing, and a motive device, such as a motor, rotates the member about its axis to carry food items in the receptacle from within the housing outwardly through the opening for feeding purposes. The motive device rotates the member periodically, such as once in twenty-four hours, to perform a feeding operation one or more times during each such interval of time.
