Hot peppers...

[Flakes]

Hey, a couple hours ago I ordered Vietnamese food for delivery. Usually when I get pho they send too much extra basil, bean sprouts, and hot pepper, so I unthinkingly gave the left overs to Dortmund who gobbled it all down.

I know that Dortmund loves green and red bell peppers, so I thought maybe he digests peppers differently, but a couple seconds ago out of curiosity I did a search on Rabbits and Jalapenos and the interweb just told me to never feed hot peppers to a rabbit and if a rabbit eats hot peppers it could badly hurt him.

So Dormund ate two small slices of hot pepper (raw jalapeño I think) about 3 hours ago. He is hopping around and seems fine, but should I take him to the vet?

That’s a tough one to say, I would call your vet and see what they think you should do, or monitor his behavior for any minor changes, loss of appetite, standing still for a long period of time, laying on his side for a while, or being more aggressive.

They aren't toxic, but there is a chance they could possibly upset your rabbits digestion. Really the only thing for that is closely monitor eating and drinking for the next 24 hours, and if a problem arises get your bun to the vet. It's what I would do anyways.

Yeah, he is extremely unhappy with me right now. Normally his favorite time of the day is when I feed him. This morning he treated me like I was a terrifying demon who loves to torment small furry creatures and ran as quickly as he could to get away from me as I cleaned his litter box.

Gave him extra green pepper to make him happy and he's been loudly scrunching away at it for the last half hour.
