A number of small feeds over a long period offers a number of advantages over a couple of big feeds.
If they gorge themselves on food they just end up dumping it unutilised.
Also, spreading the food out over a longer time leads to a more even release of ammonia thus minimising any risk of peaks in Ammonia.
With regards to vermin in food etc, i've generally always just loaded the feeder up with that days food ration in case of any malfunction resulting in the unit dumping the lot in the water. This also minimises risk of the vermin.
