Ate rabbit poo! Help?

So, I took my northern, Toaster, outside to let him explore the yard while I followed closely. Usually, I can stop him from eating random bugs and stuff, but I didn’t notice that he was heading directly for a small pile of rabbit droppings & I think he ate one before I could even react.
Will he be alright? Is there anything I can do if eating that will hurt him? Should I go ahead and call my vet?
An IMPORTANT thing to note is my dad has been using some sort of “rabbit repellant” thing for a few months, since these rabbits live under our back porch. I’m not sure what it is, and I can’t find the bag, so I’ll have to ask him as soon as he gets home later today.
UPDATE: Found the repellant bag. It’s called “Enviro Protection Rabbit Scram”

Hopefully he will be ok, there's really not a lot you can do about it. In the future I would keep him inside if any toxins are being used outside.

Rabbits eat their own feces for extra vitamins. :P

Heck it is probably healthy for him!

Don't worry about it.

Update: Toaster has been fine so far! I’ve been much more careful when taking him outside.

True, Vana! I didn't even think of that. (eeeew!)
