  I’ve always wondered, when my buns are chewing on their pieces of wood or cardboard etc., it looks like they are swallowing it. What does that do for their insides?

  Wood is usually not a problem unless it’s a toxic type of wood to bunnies – like redwood. But if it’s la safe wood like willow, or apple branches, then they can eat it without a problem.
  
  Cardboard: Most bunnies will consume a little while they are tearing apart. Most if left on the ground, but it isn’t unusual for a bunny to eat a few pieces, however, if your bunny is eating it like crazy and not leaving cardboard crumbs, then you may want to be careful with cardboard as I have heard it is possible for this to cause digestive problems.
