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.

I have been raising multiple rabbits for about a year and a half. A friend had to move and couldn't take them, and I don't mind the copious flow of fertilizer! I can't keep them indoors because of allergies. I make sure to keep replacing a layer of cardboard across much of the floor (minus the potty corner) to spare their feet from the discomfort of wires and also to keep their bedding in (they love to shred the cardboard and kick the bedding off anyhow). They are both male.
