I have a, what is called a top and tail bowl, for a baby. Its plastic, has 2 partitions in it. I have feeding in one side and water in the other. I put food and water in it about an hour b4 dark. They all go in have a wee feed and then into their beds. The food is all gone in the morning, but some water is left. Its easy cleaned as its plastic. Doesnt take up much room, and they all seem happy.
Cheers Helen
