I used sewer pipe and some basic fittings to make my loose mineral feeders. They work really well, especially since they can't climb into it or on it. It is gravity fed with a screw in plug on both ends, one to out in mineral and the other to clean it out. You can make them as long or short as you want by changing the length of the pipe you use and they only take up one little corner/spot in the pen. You do have to come up with a way to attach it to the fence. I used galvanized wire.
