Calling All Rabbit Nutters

Are you planning on keeping the dish in the litterbox? I would not. He will pee in his cheerios.
I've heard that's the best way to get them started on using the box. They tend to do their business while they are eating so offering food in the litter box helps them go there. My two I was babysitting certainly never tinkled in their pellets.

Mine has definitely peed in her food dish. On purpose. When the dish was not even in her litterbox. And the dish still had food in it. :sick

And I don't mean no food of any kind in the litterbox. But having a dish resting on the litter could be a problem. I would either hang it on the cage in reach or put it elsewhere and just keep the hay in the box. Just my two cents though. I have a very naughty rabbit.
 
Honestly I say it both ways. Petco is a bit easier. lol

I'm so glad I coined that term...

lol Just look up how many tablespoons of food he should be getting at that age and weight. Me personally I'd just fill the bowl once a day and make sure he has hay in front of him.

As no one has mentioned "wet tail" yet, sometimes the stress of moving to a new environment, handling, and a new diet can upset little critter's bowels. Mix a handful of dry Quaker's Oatmeal into his food for a week or so. It will help absorb any moisture and keep poops nice and tight. Avoiding fresh veggies and fruits for a week or two is also usually a good idea. And I'd avoid handling him for a day or two and just let him settle and get adjusted.
Four.
Four little girls have been handling him non-stop everyday.
If I don't play with him or hold him and torture him then he will probably be very heartbroken since he's used to being tortured regularly.
