So i bought some wood shavings for my bunny’s digging box but then realised it was toxic! I didnt use it and was planning to buy a new one but my helper put it in his digging box for some reason( i had no idea she was gonna do that) I saw him munching on some after i came back from school and im super worried! Is there anything I should do? I’m not sure what wood is in the shavings since the brand didnt state but its from gimbi.
 
If it is wood shavings, without knowing the specific wood in there, I couldn't say if ingesting any of it might be harmful. Normally it's ok for rabbits to chew on some kinds of wood. They can have certain types of tree and shrub branches, as it is normal behavior for rabbits in the wild.

Certain shavings shouldn't be used in the litter box because the aromatic oils they contain can cause respiratory and other health issues. Cedar should never be used, and only pine that has been kiln dried is ok to use and would also be safe if nibbled on. Aspen shavings are safe too.
