Crap. Had to have an issue at some point!

I have 3 does on a long 3 hole cage. All "due" to kindle. One in the 1st cage had 8 yesterday (i swore I counted 8 in the morning, then only 7 that night-thought I was just over zealous the 1st count no rejected kit found)
Then this morning I walk in and see a single kit all alone on bottom of the THIRD cage in the row!
Waaaay far away from the 1st does cage.
No signs of birthing yet from the 2nd and 3rd doe.

Could this day old kit have crawled ALL they way to the end of a 12 ft long cage? ? Seems crazy but thinking it was number 8 I thought I counted 1st time.

Barely fits through sides as it is or is it more likely doe #2 or #3 gave birth to a single kit? No signs or blood. I warmed the baby well til it was popcorning & squeaking again, wrapped it in fur and put it in my nicest does nest with hers, hopefully she'll keep it.
Outcome doesn't look good but I've seen worse

This is when you need a night vision camera like Kuntrygirl's. That is weird. Hope all is well.

Yes, it is possible for a newborn kit to crawl that far.

Many years ago, I had a Mini Rex doe that I bought at a show that gave birth to a surprise litter about 3 weeks later. The only nest box I had to give her had a rather low front, and her cage had the regular 1"x 2" wire. Her babies kept getting pulled out or crawling out of the nest box. Fortunately, it was warm weather, but every time I went out to the rabbitry, I had to check to see how many babies were in her box. Sometimes all five of them would be out. It took them several days to grow too big to fit through the wire, and when they fell out of the cage, they would crawl for quite a while. I regularly found one or more of them 10 feet away from the cage. Surprisingly, they all survived.

So I have a rabbit enclosure and raised about 3 1/2 feet above the ground is a wire cage (inside the enclosure) with my doe in it and my buck was in the enclosure. I left and came back a while later and he was ON TOP OF THE CAGE! that's about 5 1/3 feet in the air! (the top is) i thought that was reallly weird and put him on the ground and not even 5 min later he was back there. i have NO IDEA how he did that?!
