Plastic would probably be better in this cold - Wilkinsons sell them quite cheaply, then you can go back to your nice ceramic ones when the weather's better

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.

Yes it probably would I did think about metal and thought their lips might stick to it when it was really cold :shock:

I know. We only put them in the main part this week as the water was freezing. I thought it may have anyway last night as it was sooooo cold but it was OK this morning.
I also heat their blankets up before putting them to bed
They are just sitting on the floor though and not using the bed :roll:

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!
