I think I might of accidentally given my rabbit a bit too much celery, I thought my other rabbit would of eaten some of it to but he was not interested so she has now eaten it. She is not interested in pellets tonight and she is always crazy for pellets.

The main issue with too much celery is that the water cintent could make the faeces runny and therefore upset the tummy. In rabbits an upset stomach can lead to a condition called gut stasis which is serious. If Mei is bright and passing normal faeces she should be fine. However, if she seems at all dull or is not passing faeces I would have her checked asap.
