Is it poisonous, and what can we do?!
Poinsettias have been at the center of a raging debate as to whether they are, or are not, poisonous to bunnies. The most recent majority consensus seems to be that mild stomach upset and mouth irritations can result from chewing on poinsettias. We all know that various rabbits have dramatically different reactions to the same thing – even safe greens, such as kale, can cause terrible gas in one bunny while another bunny is unfazed – so it would probably be prudent to keep the poinsettia out of reach of the bunnies.
There was a mention of poinsettia on an article posted by Ros from the RWAF recently - click the link and scroll down towards the bottom of the article, or I've quoted the relevant part below. http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?370973-Be-careful-at-Christmas
How much of it has he eaten?
He's eating hay and seems happy enough. I guess we will just have to keep an eye on him. I am so worried.

To be honest I would think he would have to eat it in large quantities for it to affect him
Fingers crossed hes ok xx
How is Beau today, Lib?
