This way, we can place feeders around and make sure we have coverage for the pets to feed (maybe give us a coverage bubble like we do for crafting stations.

maybe it'll be a thing in the next big update. a feeder would be a nice way to dump lots of stuff you dont need into a food bin.

maybe a change to the animal AI to not eat it as well if there is no more room to breed and make more animals.
