An animal feeder comprises an animal feeder, recessed lighting strips, a recessed solar panel, and a control unit. The animal feeder comprises a lid, a cage member, and four legs. The lid seals the animal feeder and the cage member is positioned below the animal feeder. The four legs support the animal feeder. The recessed lighting strips are detachably attached to predetermined sections of the animal feeder. The recessed solar panel is mounted within a sidewall of the animal feeder. The recessed solar panel is positioned at an inclination for receiving sunlight. The sidewall is further configured to prevent exposure of the solar panel to free falling objects. The recessed solar panel powers a rechargeable battery in the control unit, which is positioned on an inner surface of the animal feeder for powering the recessed lighting strips and actuates a supply port for dispensing feed at the predefined intervals. All wiring connections are unexposed to prevent damage.
