Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Ok! Thanks for reposting! If he chewed it up, he will be fine. If he swallowed a big piece, since it is harder, there is a small chance it could cause an obstruction before the body breaks it down. Signs of an obstruction would be vomiting, lethargy and not eating. Overall Rey should be fine! Have a great day!
