Hey guys, I recently set up a few animal cages with feeding stations above them. The wheat ones work just fine, but the carrots and seeds for pigs and chickens aren't being used in those pens. They're small pens with the feeding stations positioned centrally about 3 blocks off the ground. Currently running the Mindcrack version. Anyone have a solution for this?

I'm not at my home computer at the moment, but all I can think of is that the height is fine for cows but not pigs because they're taller.

Without a screen shot we can not be sure.

But I belive the feeder needs to be able to touch the mob. So for pigs and chikens would have to be lower.

Well from the sound of it: try lowering it 1 or 2 blocks, if that doesn't solve it there's probably something else going on.

@Saice, I'm not sure what you mean with "feeder needs to be able to touch the mob", but I'm pretty sure the feeder just creates and area around it in which animals are set to breeding mode. I've had feeders feed animals through a fence with several air blocks in between as well, so there was no way they could "touch" the feeder, yet it worked fine.
