I use water bowls for all my hedgies...mom's included and have never had a baby drown yet. By the time they are out and wandering around they are usually big enough that drowning in a water bowl isn't a concern.
I use shavings as well in some of my cages, and all mom's have shavings, and I don't find it a big problem, I clean the bowls in the morning and at night and that takes care of it.
