  My rabbit got into some non scented votive candles and ate a good bit before I found her, will she be okay?? She seemed to really be into it. I do not have the money or means for a vet visit right now.
  
  Thank you

  Tey to make her eat extra hay (hand feeding might work). Water is important too, sometimes they drink more if you pour a tiny bit of unsweetened apple juice in the water.
  Rabbits can’t vomit, so the candle needs to go through. I don’t know if the scent has sth toxic in it, wax and stearin and paraffin are normally not toxic. Paraffin is used as a laxative in animals, so she might get a tummy upset.
  
  Bunnies sometimes eat really weird stuff, most are ok.

  They’re from Wal-Mart, so I looked them up and that kind has paraffin in it. “Paraffin blend” I believe it said.

  She’ll probably be fine. Keep an eye though. She might get sticky poop. If she stops eating and pooping, a vet visit will be necessary (as is always the case if a bunny stops eating and/or pooping, of course.)
