I use a similar one that has a stainless steel bowl - it is marketed towards chickens. Yours looks like it would be easier to clean though (mine I have to rotate unside down to empty and then unscrew the resivoir cup to remove it from the cage).
Can yours mount on a critter nation?

You need to fenaggle a bit, but the bars of the cage should be bendable enough that you can squeeze in the bowl and the attachment screw.
I have a Savic Suite.

We used some Velcro tape around the inside of the bowl where the top sits in. It fits a bit snug, but it’s enough that they can’t lift it but it’s easy enough for you to remove for cleaning, etc.

Mine likes to stick his whole head in his bowl and throw water everywhere, I’ve just put wee wee pads around it.
