My rabbit ate a big rubber band and I need help

[BellaB33]

Hi, I’m quite new to this page but I’m in desperate help of knowing if I should take my rabbit to the vet or not. So my bunny is a mini rex and recently I’ve been using litter liners to help contain her litter but ofc the usual ones I buy were out of stock so I ended up buying these jumbo liners and tried tying off the excess amount w a huge rubber band. And I mean big like industrial size. I searched her litter and everywhere around her room and cannot find this huge band anywhere! My only conclusion is that she ate it! With how tiny she is I’m scared it won’t pass and she’ll end up dying. I am at a lose on what to do or if I should worry or not. I’m really poor rn and can’t really afford a vet bill at the moment. She’s eating and drinking just fine and pooping as well but I’m panicking over this. Please help if you can.

This happens surprisingly often and 99% of the time, the bunny is just fine. The good thing about bunnies is that they chew stuff thoroughly when they eat it. So it’s unlikely there is a long piece of rubber band in there. I would monitor her for now. Push hay and water. This will help it pass.
