I wouldnt try to vacuum up the whole thing, use a broom and dust pan, and then vacuum up the little pieces (like the crushed pieces that often get missed while you're using a broom, I've done this before), or use a wet paper towel to make sure you got everything.

yeah it's best if you just take the broom and sweep it. if you already did that and are worried that you left some pieces then I guess you can resort to a vacuum since they should be really small.

It's way too fragile to ruin the steel vacuum parts but it could get stuck in some places. Doing what everyone says by sweeping then vacuuming should mean you only vacuum a little so it should be fine.
