Bunnies have a winter cage and a summer cage.
The water bottle is wired to current cage. Most of their food is a fresh patch of lawn supplemented with kitchen and yard waist but when it's too cold/snowy for foraging they get pellets. There's a Large tray that is placed over the summer cage for protection from rain/sun, and most recently them nudging the door open and escaping.

I think if we got a picture of them in their winter quarters with the water attached, it would probably be ready to go.  So maybe edit your post above to add that (when the time comes) and submit it for the BB.
