Bunny might have eaten a Rubber band bracelet!

[R0se]

I’m not quite sure what to do right now, I have cought him chewing on rubber bands before, so I do my best to keep them away from him. *I have always stopped him before he did much more then bite them.*

I work at a location that sells the rubber band looms, an we are to wear bracelets to advertise them well working.  I just found a few of them in my room, and I threw them in my purse to take to work with me. *3 of them, I have tiny wrists so very small sized*  My purse hangs above where his dig box ends up getting pushed too.  I recall it dropping into the dig box when he was not near it some time last night, but didn’t think anything of it.  *brushed it coming in the door way, tiny apt.*

I just got home and looked at the box as I was picking some pieces up to put them back in it, I noticed part of one of the bracelets sticking out of the corner of the oping of the box.  Most of this bracelet is intact.  But I have found some of the colored bands around, and two of the bracelets are missing. *checked purse, emptyed dig box, checked cozy cottage and full examination of his cage.  ** 

He seems to be eating normal, excited for pellets, and still seems to be pooping, He seems just a bit lazyer then normal, but still comes running when he hears something he thinks is food. 

How much should I be freaking out right now??

Unless you see anything unusual going on with him-lack of poos, inappetite, etc, I wouldn’t worry too much. Lots of BB’ers have bunnies that have eaten crazy stuff and been just fine.
Just keep an eye on him for a while. He should be ok.

I hate those band loom things, a friends son nearly died when one of the clips shot off and managed to go straight in his mouth, down his throat and lodged in his lungs. It was just lucky she was walking past his bedroom door when it happened.. He was wearing a bracelet his sister made him and had been playing with it.
Mean while, I doubt he could have consumed two entire ones with out appearing in extreme distress afterwards but he could well have snacked on a few and hidden the rest. I would make sure he is getting lots of hay and moist vege to keep things moving but check out the rest of the room… Bunnies like to toss and throw and chase pretty coloured things, he could have flung it into a crevice or nook a few inches off the ground….
