Pros: Versatile for all my animals
Smaller sizes for smaller animals
Large pans for my horses
Great in winter, won’t crack when water freezes
Easy to clean
Cons: After about 2 years it really gets pretty worn out.
I bought one of these for my duckling when he was little to splash around in, when he grew up, it became the pigs feed bowl, it has held up fairly well, I am still using it as a pig feed bowl. When water freezes in it, it is very easy to turn over and stomp on with a frostbitten foot and get the chunk of ice out.
I use this for my waterer in all my coops. I hook up a sprinkler drip system over it so it gets refilled everyday when the sprinkler comes on. it wont crack or fade and has held up very well.
