I am so worried since yesterday morning i've spotted a few weird looking patches of something brown in my rabbit's cage. Also, now when he jumped out from his cage he left some kind of wettish stuff behind while hopping in the shape of his back feet. He doesn't have any spoiled fur near his tail but the patches look like pee.... here, some photos:

By the way, the place with the most patches is near his water bowl and I've seen him stand with his front feet in it a few times - but this wouldn't explain the brown colour.
 
it doesnt look like poop to me. I think he has either decided to start weeing there (how old is he?) or he has got dirty feet, stood in the water bowl and walked it around. Does he have outside access at all and are his feet dirty?

How is he in himself? Is he eating, drinking and is there any "normal" poo's?

He's acting completely normal and yes there are normal poos, eating normal - drinking lots though. The only weird thing is that it looks like he's started suddenly peeing in places and outside of his cage where he never has. He's also drinking more but the temperature has gotten slightly warmer. I really have no idea what's going on.
 
If you are at all worried about anything then I would take him to the vets for a check up.
My bunny Patch started drinking more a couple of months ago but was fine in himself, I took him to the vets and had a urine and blood test just to rule out kidney problems, he was fine, but it is always best to get things checked and caught early. The earlier somthing is caught then generally the more likely for treatment to work (and the lower the vet bills if the bun is not insured!!)

Sounds just like my Barnaby, we had to stop him going on the couch at night as he liked to sleep on it but it would be covered in pee the next morning. He's now being treated for a UTI after a trip to the vets.
