Little Giant HP650 Indoor Outdoor Heavy-Duty Rubber Tub Feeder Pan Bowl for Livestock, Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tub has a large capacity for multi-use needs. It’s fully weather proof, crush proof, crack proof, freeze proof, which means it can stay outside year round and is basically invincible. It’s flexible, yet holds its shape, still easy to pick up with one hand. It’s large, but not too heavy. While its main purpose may be intended for larger animals’ feeding tub, it could be used for a wide variety of things. Storage, a small pool for ducks and such, gardening needs, and beyond. The label includes a Prop 65 warning, stating that users will be exposed to materials known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. This gave me pause so I looked into the materials of this, the warning, and the company’s statement. Apparently the language changed for Prop 65’s back in 2018, and the Little Giant company changed their labels to comply. Many of their products include a steel core that, if you come into contact, will expose you to nickel which can cause these stated concerns. Their products are finished/covered in other materials so you really wouldn’t be coming into direct contact unless something comprised the outer material. That said, this tub is made of corded rubber and does not appear to have any nickel in it. Reading up on what corded rubber is made from in general, it appears to be safe, even generally food safe, although I personally wouldn’t with this particular tub. The company also states it is safe for animals. Ultimately I give 4 stars because it has a STRONG smell to it. Putrid rubber. The kind that gets on your hands and remains even if you wash them. I opened this tub outside and it was still overwhelming. With time and airing out, it has gotten better, but the smell is still there. Maybe with more weeks/months it will eventually go away, but for now it remains still somewhat stinky.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The overall design of the tub is perfect for liquids like watering or for use of feed . We have horses who like to nibble on feeders or on buckets and this would be great because it’s rubber , on the thicker side , and won’t break if nibbled on. Good too if you have a dog who likes pool time !!! lol
