Inward shaped water bowl UK?

RubyDG · 02-11-2016, 05:59 PM

Sorry, I know the thread title doesn't describe what I'm talking about very well! Basically I'm trying to see if I can source a bowl of a particular shape in the UK, one where the top curves inward. Something like this one from Rodipet: bowl.

Unfortunately I've not had much luck searching for one like it, my thought is that they should make really good water bowls so I'd like to buy one and see. I just don't want to order it from overseas, a bit much cost wise just for something I want to try out. I'm hoping someone here has come across one like that here in the UK

I think about the closest thing is the living world bowl, I think there's a larger size too. It is higher on one side than the other but still a nice height all round really. Or you could have a look somewhere like Swell reptiles at the meal worm/live food bowls some of which have curved sides to stop the little creepies crawling out!

Thanks Cypher

. I think the living world bowl may be a bit bigger than I'm looking for, 150ml is a fair bit of water, I'd ideally like something a little smaller. I'm definitely going to look at the reptile section, I hadn't thought of that!

Let us know if you do find anything, I've kicked myself a few times as I'd really like a couple of those but whenever I've done a Rodipet order I forget!

I have used glass tea light holders as water bowls but my hams are quite a lot smaller than Spike

The Rodipet bowls are only £2.71 so I'm also kicking myself now for not ordering one or two from Rodipet when I did my order back in December. Plus I bought enough hamster food last time that I probably won't even be ordering from them again for at least another 3/4 months. With the cost of postage and not really needing anything from them I can't really justify making an order now

I did spy this mason cash bowl which seems okay if not quite what I'm looking for: mason cash minipot

I think I have one of those... somewhere! They are good solid bowls so it should be tip proof if nothing else!

Good to know! If I can't find specifically what I'm looking for I may just get one
