I recently adopted two bonded lop mixes, they both weigh around two pounds and are a year old. I just tripped over the male lop on my way out of the room, I didn't see him there... he was very startled and ran out of the way.

I offered him food a minute later and he eagerly came for it/climbed over me to get it.
He seems to have forgiven me immediately and is hopping around and eating, but I'm really worried that I might've hurt him since I didn't see where I tripped over him or if I hurt a foot.

What kind of signs should I be looking out for? Should I bring him to the vet just in case? Ours is a 24/7 one very close by that I can drive to at any moment. Poor baby ;-;
 
I would say monitor eating and drinking. Obviously watch for limping/ holding his paws up funny. If he's super easy to handle, in a day you could feel all over for any swelling. If you see any of these signs, a vet visit in order! Even if it's just for pain medication. Otherwise, I would not worry about it too much.

And don't worry too much! I think I trip on my rabbits at least once a week (they like to get underfoot at feeding time, and I'm not a graceful person- and when the cat gets herself involved, it's just a lot of me falling! :p).
 
don't worry! I've accidentally kicked my bunny while walking.
i agree with RavenousDragon. monitor the bunny, but don't worry!
