Hi Doug,

I'm assuming that your guy is indoors. If this is the case, you might try getting one of those really heavy, large dog bowls that are difficult to tip over.

When we first got them, our two outdoor pigs would flip their water container over too, which worried me, since we live in New Mexico and the summers here can be intensely hot and dangerous with no water! Turns out that they wanted to make mud to root in. So, we dug out a shallow hole and filled it with water IN ADDITION to filling their water container each day. From that day on, they never flipped their water container over again, instead concentrating on enhancing their mud wallow!

Good Luck! Michelle
