Over the years I have had a couple hatching tortoises drown because they flipped over in their water dishes.
I no longer provide water dishes for my hatchlings. Instead I soak them daily for the first few months, then I cut back to every other day. At around one year they are provided with a ceramic water dish for drinking.
