I also don't use watch bottles. I use a water bowl but if she buries the food bowl that'll be difficult. Free standing bottle holder?
What size is the bin? You said that you're getting a bigger one? What dimensions? The minimum is 80x50cm unbroken continuous floor space rather than broken up in different sections.
Id recommend the zoozone 2. It's a guinea pig tank but just mesh the lid and voila. Perfect robo home

Her cage at the moment is 50x30cm, which i thought was the minimum? It was the largest bin we had available at the moment and was double the size of the bin she came in.
I did build her a free standing bottle holder, and it is working well, which solved the problem of the bottle falling off the side.
I have looked into scatter feeding, but am holding off until i get her on a better food (we bought regular hamster food that was being fed to her before she came to us not knowing dwarfs need a different diet, so i am doing a slow change)
I love that she burrows, and it is the reason we are sticking with bin cages rather than a "regular" cage because she throws her bedding as she digs lol
