  If you mean a lathyrus sweet pea (the kind that is grown for their pretty flowers), it is toxic, but intoxication is mostly seen when an animal has a habit of grazing on them. A little bit on one occasion will probably not harm your bun.
  
  Acute toxicity as a rule manifest within 6 hours. Of course call a vet if your bun becomes lethargic or refuses food etc.

  There are some plants that are listed as being toxic to animals that rabbits can nibble on and appear to have no ill effects. There have been bunnies on the forum that have chewed on “toxic” house plants and seemed fine afterward. As Bam said, acute toxicity would manifest in a matter of hours. So if enough time has passed and he hasn’t shown any symptoms, then he is likely fine.
