My rabbit ate candle wax. . . worrying?

Guess my rabbit must've been hungry because he bit a chunk of a scented candle. Is candle wax harmful to rabbits?
Answers:
Of course the BEST thing to do is to contact your vet. But before you do, you should know if the wax is made of paraffin or soy, beeswax, vegetables, etc. If you know the brand of the candle, you can go to the website for them and check. I know some candles smell good enough to eat...poor bunny, just didn't realize it wasn't real food.
The candles that are made for vegetables must not be harmful because a friend of mine's dog ate half of the Chocolate scented candle she had! Luckily the candle was not lit! But her dog had no problems.but I am sure the website doesn't claim that it is consummable!
Hope bunny is felling well.
Well no the wax isn't but the stuff from the scent might be
