So this would've supposedly happened days ago.. Like Saturday.

Both still pooping and no issues since...

Should I panic? :/

If it happened 2-3 days ago and all output/input has been normal since I would not be worried. The highly acidic stomach of a Rabbit is likely to dissolve the amount of plastic that appears to have been nibbled. Especially if it's a biodegradable plastic.

Roisin nibbled the side of a (full) bin liner over the weekend and she's fine.

RIP bin liner though.....................

Eek what naughty buns. I'm sure they'll be fine now if they keep popping. :)

Either Archie or Pip ate some of their fabric square this week! So I've been waiting to see a bright blue poo. Nothing yet.....

Their fabric square - oh no!

Grace - sorry I didn't see this last night.
If I had, I would have said that I wouldn't worry at all :D

They sound fine, and they will continue to be fine :)
