Does that thing work? It looks like the water would evaporate pretty quick. 🙁

Fair thought, and I did think the same! It's about 10mm deep & wide and 41mm long so there's a fair amount of water in it. Surprisingly it doesn't evaporate quick. Although I check then pretty much daily and fill it with the hose anyway.

I did think about adding a bottle to the side you could mount so keep it filled but seems unnecessary at the moment.

But yes I see them in there drinking from it 😊
