Hi char2020
Yes, they will up end the lighter dishes – they quite often rest their feet on the rims. Feel a bit sorry for the poor hog when it happens, but it does look quite funny when they send the food flying into their face! But yes, small terracotta bowls are better. Although they will sometimes tip those over to see what’s underneath – quite natural if you think that turning over a stone might produce some interesting morsel of food.
But for water the wider the better (as long as it’s still shallow). Hogs’ motto seems to be ‘why walk round a water bowl when you can walk through it’, so if they are too small they often get tipped over.
