There isn't much you can do. Due to the chambered stomach, it may stay in the there for a long time and cause no issue, pass out into the stomach and out in feces, or it may get stuck. If Queen starts having a decreased appetite or acts ill in any way, you can try giving her mineral oil to lubricate the GI tract, but if she is off her feed for longer than 24 hours or there aren't any feces produced, she should be evaluated by a vet.
