| He's maybe just reached that weight where he's heavy enough to tip it over. What sort of water bowl do you have. Is it light and high sided. Might need a ceramic low sided bowl thats difficult to tip over. |

| I think you're probably right, it's quite high sided. I'll buy a ceramic one from work tonight. I just didn't know whether he was trying to boost humidty or something like that. (not sure whether he'd have the brain to think of doing that though) haha |

He probably thinks "wtf happened there!?!?!?"
It's actually quite funny to watch as they look surprised and pee'd off at the same time cos they're now wet |
