I wouldn't use it because it would be pointless. The only dishes or bowls that work in a chin cage are flat bottomed. A dish like that is going to keep getting tipped over, spilling any contents.

you could use it on the cage floor for hay. that way if it gets tipped it won't have the chance of being knocked off a shelf and shattering.
but what Tunes says is true, any dish not flat bottomed does tend to get tipped and spilled.

I use ceramic flower pots now for hay holders - works great.
ok thank you, then do you know where i could find a nice looking ceramic bowl for hay? and maybe one for pellets too? my current bowl isnt big enough, the boys are always head-butting in the bowl, trying to shove each other, and i dont want a fight to start
Check your local petstore. For hay I use a large/thick glass drinking cup on it's side. If you don't already have one you can get it for less then $1 at walmart, meijer, etc.... If your boys are shoving each other for pellets I'd get a 2nd bowl. Even if you had 1 larger bowl it still might be a territory thing and they still might bicker over it. Chins can be such the little stinkers
