  Hi everyone. Tonight before I went to bed, I saw a pile of something under my bed. I found that a piece of my comforter was hanging down from my bed and my bunny had chewed a hole in the comforter and pulled out a large chunk of the stuffing fibers. It looked like some was missing, so I’m sure he probably ingested some. He is free roam in my room all day while I’m at work, so I’m unsure if it happened a few days ago or today. He is acting totally normal – he is active and he is eating/drinking/pooping normally. Should I be concerned about a blockage or obstruction, or will any fibers that he ingested likely pass through? How much time will need to pass before I’m sure that it is not a blockage? If he is still okay tomorrow evening when I get home from work, should I assume that it is not a blockage and that he is okay? Thank you in advance!

  Most things buns ingest do pass through because they chew their food (and non food) into very fine bits. They can swallow big chunks of things like dogs do.
  
  If he’s eating and drinking and acting normal tomorrow as well I think he’s out of the woods. Most buns do get into non-food items now and then and there’s rarely a problem. But you can of course serve his daily fresh greens (if he gets fresh greens) wet for some extra hydratipn, and you can hand feed him some hay if that encourages him to eat more hay.
  
  Keep keeping an eye on his appetite and poop of course -but I dont know of any circumstances when a bunny caretaker shouldn’t keep an eye on a bun’s appetite and poop, we tend to do that automatically 🙂
