I would do a quick search, this question has been covered several times as it's a common problem.

I couldn't find the old topics that I know are out there so I can't give you a link or anything. You still may find them with a search, I didn't try very hard.

Anyway I think pooping in the bowls sometimes happens because the bowls are too big. Water bottles are sometimes recommended to solve the problem but you should be aware that there are risks of injury to the mouth and tongue and teeth from using the bottle and some hedgehogs will never adjust to it.

moving the dishes apart usually helps with that problem...they seem to like standing on the water bowl while eating and moving them apart helps that.

Keep that bowl as his litter box (it would be easier to clean)
and get him another bowl for his water (maybe a smaller one)
