YES! If the dish is light enough to be tipped, full or empty, it will be tipped. As far as a water dish goes, use a heavy crock or non-tipping bowl
Yes, ferrets like to tip over their food and water dish. They're naturally 'digging' and playful creatures so anything they can crawl through, over, or around they'll love. They just love to make messes and destroy things (but doesn't that make them just that much cuter!?).
Ferrets are very curious, and they love to dig, it's a natural behavior. As descendants of burrowing animals, the instinct for digging and tunneling remains strong. They love to play in shallow water and to dig in food. Use heavy crock or ceramic bowls, and set them on a large tray for easy cleanup. Some ferrets like to mix a little water in with their food (my ferret does). If the dish is light enough to be tipped, full or empty, it will be tipped.

yes
No. Ferrets are exactly like cats. They hate water.
Cats are known to do this if they are out of food and/or water. They may also want fresh water, or may not like the food brand that you are giving them (thus are requesting better food).
All pets should have unrestricted access to water and ferrets particularly need plenty of water. Ferrets eat every 3 to 4 hours and need to have food and water available at all times
Yes and No. Ferrets don't need to be bathe, they groom themselves and stay clean. Water and food bowls will be tipped over, use heavy crock or non-tipping bowls. Ferrets will not potty around their food area. Ferrets have a rapid digestive system and potty about every 3 to 4 hours, If they are out of the cage and need to go, they can't hold it, and will seek out the first available corner (have extra litter pans or put newspaper in the corners). Ferrets like to hide things, like food and toys, and food can spoil (if feeding ferrets food that might spoil, don't give them more than they can eat).
you add water to it, its pretty wattery, my ferrets dont like it.
its not just their food dish they like the water one aswell. they normally find it warmer and more comfy to have something surrounding them as they sleep, i have 2, one is in the water bowl and the other in the food bowl, its just normal for them
If they are like pet ferrets, they probably do.
Everything!
It's essential for ferrets to have water at all time for drinking, As for bathing, some ferrets like water, some don't. Some like to play in the water, I like to provide mine with a bowl or container they can splash around in. if you start leting ferrets swim at about 6-36 months old then they'll start to get more and more ok with it, but for the water make sure that the water is just as low as its hip just in case
