Fooder

/ˈfuːdər/ noun

Definition

Someone or something that provides food; a person or animal that eats food.

Etymology

Formed from 'food' plus the agent suffix '-er,' which creates words describing a person or thing that performs an action. A logical but rarely-used English word formation.

Kelly Says

'Fooder' is technically a correct English word, but it's so uncommon that most people would say 'feeder' instead—which is funnier because 'feeder' actually means something slightly different in agricultural contexts.
