Hello, sorry to hear about Tripper. Ingestions can cause neurologic signs such as trembling and seizures, however this is dose and weight dependent. Since it was an entire rube, although unsure how much he got into, it would be wise to contact the ASPCA pet poison control hotline to obtain the most information on risks, side effects and toxic doses. ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center Phone Number: (888) 426-4435 If you see any signs of trembling or seizure like activity, then have him evaluated by a veterinarian immediately. Hope this helps and best of luck.
