Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | spayed | 2 years and 6 months old | 5 lbs
My rabbit ate half a bag of Oxbow vitamin C biscuits... could she get sick from this ? these treats are made for rabbits and I give her one every day.. I just don’t want her to get sick. Is this a reason to be concerned ?

You should always be concerned if an animal eats more than the recommended dosage of anything. That being said, vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamins and she should just excrete the excess amount into the urine. This should not be a problem in a healthy rabbit, however, I cannot be 100% sure that she won’t have any side effects. Just monitor her closely for any signs of illness and if any of those are noticed then get her to the vet for an exam as soon as possible. in the meantime, do not give her any of those treats for the next 10-14 days. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
