Try not to worry, and do as your doing.
Watch his intake and output for changes. He should be fine, but if he did and it caused a problem you should know in the first 48 hours. It can cause a blockage, but he would have to consume quite a bit. They just seem to shred most no no's.
Keeps you on your toes. ;)

 ::scaredspeachless::  We had the "pull in a grocery bag thing" happen here again the other day.  I was feeding and emptying bowls in a plastic grocery bag.  The phone rang & it was my mom calling long distance so of course I jumped up to get the phone and talk leaving the bag.  Well guess who pulled it through, none other than my twin beige girls.   :doh:  They actually had pulled the bag into the cage through MANY different spots in the cage wire and chewed several huge holes in it by the time I had gotten back.  I had to do poop monitoring for days after that.  They got an extra papaya cube to help out digestion for a few days.  All is well.
