I once found a dessicated kit behind the hay bales when I cleaned out the barn the doe was in... some kits, if they escape the cage, can get quite a distance, even at two days old,,

I have had one kit disappear into thin air like that. Just a couple of days old. I had kits escaping all over the place. I found one dead (chilled) outside the rabbitry, and the rest alive inside the rabbitry. One I never found.

I J-clipped floor wire around the does' cages after that.

Yeah I know things happen but its still a bummer. This kit was approx 2 weeks old still can figure out how it got "disappeared". The cage seemed pretty secure but evidently not. Still have 6 of the 7 so... and 2 of those are spoken for

Sure is a bummer, just not knowing where the kit is. I am afraid when I get around to replacing the floor, he will pop up.

I just had this happen. With our litter of 12, we counted and recounted. They are 2 days old. Today I was taking everyone to foster some over to my other doe. 11. We counted and recounted. Our cages are secure. This doe's cage is all 1/2"x1/2" wire and wood. I can't find it anywhere. I'm hoping that I figure out the I miscounted somewhere along the line. Crazy.

Sorry your little guy went missing.
I've lost one before too. Still not sure how the little guy got out. I thought he was too big to fit through the wire. Guess not. Didn't even find him when I replaced all the straw under the cages.
