  If it was just one, he/she will probably be fine.

  Oak tends to upset their stomach (I believe it’s the tannic acid in them), but as LBJ10 said if it was one they will be fine.
  
  I have a bunch of different trees near our house so there are always leaves blowing in and a certain small rabbit always finds them before I have a chance to see it and pick it up… I panicked a lot in the beginning, but now I just try to make sure to take it from him as soon as I see it. I do keep some charcoal on hand too for a case when he may have eaten more than one.
  
  Oh and it can be hard to find good info online for plants and rabbits, so my vet recommended searching for horses instead, there is a lot more info. They have very similar dietary needs, so most likely if a horse can eat it, it is safe for a bunny (keep their size difference in mind when reading about things ok in small quantities).
