There’s nothing much you can do except to keep a very close eye and make sure he’s eating lots of hay/drinking lots of water. If all is good the magnet should pass through. You can also look out for any traces of it in his poops.

If he stops pooping or shows any signs of discomfort, bring him to a vet immediately.

I’m inclined to say go to a vet immediately. That chunk of magnet is now a bunch of little magnets which might try to come together even though there are organs in between the pieces. If the magnets pull hard enough they can cause internal bleeding.

I know this isn’t what you wanted to hear but I think it’s a real enough possibility to consider it.

Hmm H&T, can a bunny’s digestive system actually break down a magnet into chunks? Genuinely curious because I’d imagine it to come out as a whole piece if it does manage to pass through.

Rabbits as a rule chew what they eat very well. That would make the bits of magnet very small. I’d call a vet and ask. They might have experience with this sort of thing. Try to make bun eat hay. 

We’d be very grateful for updates. 

I’m hoping your bun is doing okay. I would def go to a vet in this situation because of the same thing H&T mentioned. I know magnets are very dangerous for children for that reason.
