  Rat poison causes blood thinning, which is not good. If there is any chance she has eaten any, I would get her to a vet, they should be able to do a blood test to tell for sure, and if she has, she needs treating straight away. If you take the packet with you, it will help the vet decide the most appropriate treatment, if treatment is needed.

  Unless she has eaten a ton (which doesn’t seem to be the case since you aren’t sure if she actually ate any), I wouldn’t worry. It takes 8 days of eating only things with rat poison for rats (which are usually smaller than rabbits) to die. If the paper had touched the poison, the amount would be extremely minimal, especially for an animal that is typically much bigger than a rat. I would just make sure she’s eating and drinking as usual. If not, then take her to a vet.
