  So Mars is a 5 month old bun who has many, many toys and yet still chooses to throw his water bowl around. It’s always full so I know he’s not thirsty. I’m going to get a water and food bowl stand at PetSmart next week because I need to get him a few other things as well. I don’t know what to do till then because I’m really worried he will do it in the night and not have enough water the whole night. Any advice?

  If you can find something really heavy, that will do. Some type of crockery with a rim that doesn’t really allow a bunny to get a good grip with his teeth. Throwing the water bowl around is SO much fun if you’re a young bunny, so you’ll need sth really heavy to stop him.
  
  You can also give him other stuff he can throw around, like baby keys or stacking cups. But buns, just like puppy dogs, have an almost uncanny sense for what they’re not allowed to play with, and what’s forbidden is of course always extra exciting.

  Seconded. Get your bun a heavy water bowl. Our bun has a heavy water bowl, a heavy food bowl (which she manages to flip anyway), and a super light, plastic salad bowl (which doubles as a toy regardless of whether it’s full of salad). She seems to enjoy playing with it and prefers eating her salad off the floor, so we let her
