  So we absolutely bunny proofed my whole room(all wires unplugged, all crevices behind dressers, and other compartments were concealed, as well as any dust or cat hair picked up from the floor). My girlfriend and I decided to go to the store and seeing as we both had work until late that we would let her out while we were gone for an hour in the meantime, it couldn’t hurt because we’ve had absolutely no problem previously with her out of her cage. So this time we let it slide. So we left, went to the store and arrived back home. We look allll over for the bunny, behind the crevices in the room, and her cage obviously and then i move the tall thin box that a soundbar had been bought in that blocked behind the dresser and the bunny had tried to hop over to get behind there. She was in there! However, so was a decent amount of styrofoam and in a tight space. We grabbed her out and cleaned the styrofoam out of her fur and vacuumed it all up, but she had chewed through a decent amount of it, presumably to escape. We’re not sure if she ingested any as the pieces were pretty large that we vacuumed, but you never know. What can happen, what signs should I look for? And how much styrofoam ingestion is deadly to rabbits. Please help

  Lack of poops, lethargy, no appetite. These are signs of danger.
  
  Monitor her poops in characteristics closely as well. You went ordinary poops. If they’re really small or runny, something is wrong with her digestive system.

  Bunnies are quite mischevious! Looks like you have an explorer in your hands haha.
  
  Monitor her poops as wick suggested, and also her appetite. If she develops a blockage, it become quite uncomfortable for them very quickly, so you may notice if she refuses to eat and sits hunched in pain. She should be taken to the vet ASAP if you notice lack of appetite or decreased/ceased poop output.
  
  In the future, I’ve found it best to block access with bunched up towels. The bunnies will dig at the towels, so I just picked up some cheap-o towels at Walmart. It’s safer to use that than anything that’s chewable for them!
  
  Good luck, hope bunny is well! I had another bun that would sometimes eat the carpet. Never noticed any issues so it could turn out all ok, but do keep a close eye on her over the next few days!

  The little stinkers will get into EVERYTHING and into places you’d swear air couldn’t get into. And we love them to pieces for it.
  
  Clover would sleep in here every night if I let her, but it drives my neurotic, agoraphobic rescue parrot nuts.
