I stopped using stoneware bowls a year or so ago because of the cold cracking them. All of our bunnies now have Pyrex. Whilst they are cold too, they are heat and cold resisitant (can be used in the freezer for home cooking and reheating human foods) so they don't crack or break. I use the souffle/casserole size ones, quite big, so take a while to freeze. They do still freeze but not so quickly.
I pick mine up in chairty shops for about £1 -£1.50 each

We have a metal one that sits in a ring but would that make the water freeze quicker if you didn't have a brick or snugglesafe under it?
Ours don't freeze as in shed with tubular heaters now.
When I went out this morning both glass water bottles had broken during the night. :shock::shock::shock: They were only about 1/4 full too, I thought they would be safe enough like that... seems not.
Must have been mightly cold last night... poor buns! They hadn't even used their snuggles safes when I went out though! Crazy wabbits!
