A feeder dish for use in raising small pigs operable to be secured in place on a perforated creep floor of a farrowing pen and resistant to movement by the feeding piglets. The feeder includes a pan for holding feed surrounded by an integral platform on which the piglets stand. Pegs extend downwardly below the pan for insertion into slots or openings in the floor of the pen and maintain the feeder in a preselected position so as to prevent the dish from sliding or tipping over.
