Answer
You might want to check out this resource for new bunny parents at http://www.rabbit.org/care/new-bunny-index.html  Be sure to check out the diet section and what vegetables are good for rabbits, corn is unfortunately not one of them.

You also my take away vegetables for the time being and just leave him with pellets and hay to see if that helps.  If you see diarrhea, though, get him to a vet right away.  That can be fatal at this age.

You can find a list of rabbit-knowledgeable vets at http://www.rabbit.org/care/vets.html and http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/PB_vets.html
