Bunny loves it too!
The media could not be loaded.  I didn't see any reviews for bunnies, so hoping I can help future bunnies and their housemates! Our bunny Olive, is an 8 month old dwarf hotot who can use this product very well. I'm not sure how quickly she took to it, however my wife caught her drinking, turned on her phone, opened the camera app, switched to video, and THEN captured the 19 second long video included with review in the first 2 hours it was hooked up.Before, Olive would only take a short few second long drink, look up, and then often go back for a few more seconds out of a ceramic bowl, which in itself was an improvement over a plastic one.Animals (and people) don't like drinking standing water, as instinctively we know flowing water is safer, and so animals and people are both more likely to drink more if we hear or see flowing water often.I also see a fair number of reviewers who have the motors die on them in a few months, so I will update if that happens however I did a lot of research into power adaptors and dealing with DC power is part of my job; I suspect the motors die from an electrically noisy or in other words, uneven, power supply. Many cheaper USB chargers produce a lot of fluctuations in the output. I would strongly advise against swapping the included one out for a dollar store version or other discount power pack. I selected an 2019 Samsung phone wart as it is able to provide the 5v required, and is rated for a higher amperage than the included one, meaning that at 1 amp requested it will be working easier than it is designed to, and so I don't have to worry about heat or other degrading factors so much. I will update in a few months to let others know. I also did this to help hide the cord; I'm in Korea, so I'd need an adaptor to use the included brick, and the included brick is a straight out USB plug, meaning it stuck way out of the wall here and I think would be in the rabbits way (over her litter box) and thus become a possible target for chewing. Olive has yet to chew a wire, and is 24/7 free range, but putting a wire in her path would be tempting fate... The Samsung charger is lower profile and the USB plug is at a 90 degree angle from the wall, helping it stay out of the way. (Note to other bunny owning buyers: I wrapped the cordon a protective sleeve, but will have to remove said sleeve Everytime I wash the pump and clean it, weekly or biweekly, so keep that in mind when selecting a cord protector. Also, don't take a risk as the cord is permanently attached to the motor.
