    Try these, http://www.petmountain.com/product/d...ware-dish.html the 5 inch ones. I have yet to have one tipped in years.

    What kind of water dish do you have? I use a stone water dish from petsmart, it is flared out at the bottom and has enough weight to keep it in place.

    I used to have the same issue, I use those bowls from the dollar tree and never had a problem again.

    I've got the reptile stone water dishes and didn't like them at all. They are harder to clean than they need to be.
    The suggestion of stoneware bowls that are low with a wide base is great, as are your standard dogs dish type bowls but, if you are using a tub and rack system I'd consider deli cups and a piece of PVC or ABS pipe just slightly large ID than the OD of the deli cup.

    Our bowls we got from the dollar store. They are glass and meant to be candy dishes, but they are heavy and have straight walls. They are not the prettiest bowls but they have never been knocked over.

    Even better is that of course they are a dollar :)

    This same one but buy them local for a buck each
