We used the 2 liter bottle method too. I kept meaning to get a mister but didn't, so on the really hot days I'd go out and turn the water sprinkler on them. They didn't mind it at all -- would even play in the water! Chickens too ... I've got some weird critters ...
Lurker, I had a trio of rabbits but my surgery kept me down a little longer than I anticipated so I gave them to a buddy. I'm really wanting to give them a try again in the spring.
That was my plan originally. That is my plan again -- next spring. I'm finding rabbits a bit difficult to get ahold of (who'da thought?!?) so if I can snag some from somewhere I'll probably pick them up. No breeding for me until after winter has come and gone for the most part. Ideally, I'd like to time my first litters to come sometime in early spring.
No ... I'm running out of bargains to make and ploys to try ... 
**sigh** It appears that the goat may be one of those times that I have to ask for forgiveness rather than permission ... I'm gonna winter over the chickens and some more rabbits and see what spring brings ... Now that I am feeling better I really, really, really want to get a garden in this year. Wait, let me rephrase that ... I want to get a garden that I've put in to GROW ... 
I'm good at getting stuff in the ground, just not so good at keeping it alive.
