  I came into my rabbit’s room this morning to see that he somehow got over the fence blocking off the rabbit supplies 😬 He ripped a hole into a bag of wood pellet bedding and I found him chewing on some pieces.
  
  Should I be worried about him eating it? It was a new 30lb bag I bought from a nearby feed store. The bag says it’s 100% wood with no additives or chemicals, so I assumed it might be okay as long as he didn’t consume too much. Never tried it before since I usually use paper pellets from the pet store, which he has chewed on before too, lol. He’s acting normal, so I guess I’ll just keep an eye on him.

  Yep that’s nothing to worry about. If he was eating a lot of them I would be worried that something was up with his diet and maybe he was craving fiber, but just chewing a few pieces is fine.
