Buck filling feed bowl with pee

[Lil Acorn Acres Farm]

My buck is new to me. He is young. And in a,new environment.
The last two mornings when I go out to feed & clean he has his feed bowl filled with pee.
He moved the bowl to different corners. So today I gave him a different bowl.
This is a temporary set up. So no J feeder.
Any Ideas on the reason for this?

He may be "litter training" himself. Rabbits like to be clean and often pick one corner or one specific spot to go to the bath room in, because of this are relatively easy to "litter train" (I say that loosely as you are really just finding their preferred corner and putting a litter tray in it.) Obviously I don't know his set up, in any cage He could be using his crock as a litter box to stay clean, more so if he is in a solid bottom cage.
The other reason is that he is a buck. They love to mark their territory, especially when in new places/with new scents.

Have you tried the bowls that clamp to the side of the cage? My buck is very destructive and I can't have any loose bowls in there with him. The clamp on bowl fixed all my issues I was having with him.

We are actually parked in Texas for another week before heading to CA. So he is in temporary set up. When I get him home he will have a normal set up. Will see if he does it again tomorrow.

Many of my rabbits like to go in their food bowls. No matter the location in the cage. It's frustrating but I just accept that some need their bowls cleaned daily and treat it as a quirk.

He didn't do it today.
