I don't know whether or not it's toxic, but I don't think standing water can
be good for them.
Why not try covering it with screening? The nylon stuff is very plyable.
Cut a large circle, slit it half way through the diameter & cut out an
opening for the tree base. The circle of screen should be big enough to
cover the opening of the bowl & long enough to hang past the bottom. Gather
the excess underneath & zap strap closed. Or, depending on the shape of the
bowl, pressure strap around the rim. I hope I explained this so it makes
sense (to anyone besides me). It works for plants.
Then they won't be able to get in & you'll be able to pour the water right
through. & since they can no longer slosh around, you can wrap a skirt
around to cover the feet. They'll have a ball under there! It'll probably
be a new hidey hole.

HAMMOCKS
I saw a post about large hammocks. I found something in an army & navy
store that works just great. You have to go to one that has all that great
old salvage stuff. The place I went to had barrels w/gobs of heavy nylon
netting - all different size weaves & several different colors. You can cut
it to any size. Zap strap it on or use the kind of hooking things they use
on bird toys. It's machine washable, indestructable, & I think this stuff
was $.35 a POUND! Do you have any idea how much netting is in a pound -
LOTS. I have more hammocks than I know what to do with. You can also
stretch it tight to make ramps & shelves.
