    Not to be rude, but Google is really your best friend.
    Copied from someone with a similar issue 4 years ago:

    Don’t panic! Monitor her poop! If she is making poops ok and eating ok it will very likely just pass and come out.. Try to get her to eat more hay today so the fiber keeps her gut moving faster. Also be sure she is drinking.

    If you see that she is not pooping, or has less appetite, or seems in pain like laying down and pressing tummy to the ground intently then yes definitely take her to the vet.

    Then again I don’t know how much she had, so this is the best I can do

  2. Someone else feel free to chime in but this warrants an emergency visit in my eyes. While it may not be toxic, it can cause intestinal blockage which will lead to a serious emergency. If there’s an emergency vet you can take the bunny to, I would do it now to be safe. If you can’t take them now, monitor them to make sure they’re eating and pooping normally and then take them in the morning. Let us know how your bun makes out.

    Seconding what another commenter said. Gum could easily create a really nasty blockage in there. Vet or emergency vet is probably your safest bet here.

    I’m so sorry for the stress you and your bun are going through right now

    Your big concern here is the Xylitol that will cause your bunny’s glucose to crash and cause coma and death. ER -stat

    Keep a very very close eye on poops and eating/drinking and a visit to the vet may be in order. Honestly i’d give the vet a call and ask how to proceed. Hope everything is okay!!!

    my bunny once ate my gum, but he ended up being fine. monitor his poops and take him to the vet to be safe

    Did you tell him he’s supposed to chew it not swallow it? I’m kidding. I know how concerning it can be when our bunnies get into things they shouldn’t. My bunnies got into wall putty that you use to hang posters and nothing became of it. Just monitor him like everyone has said and try to get him to drink lots of water and eat lots of hay to keep his gut moving well. Best of luck to you and your bunny
