Kits been pushed out out of box

Question
My rabbit pushed about three of her kits out of the box.Two of them were dead and one was still alive.I put the living one back in the box with the other two kits and all seems to be fine.Will the mother kill the one I touched and why do you think she only kicked three out of the five out?They were born on the 2/3/2008 (I think).Is there anything I can do to help them?Thank you!

Answer
i caroline -she probably pulled them out the nest whilst they where feeding -but one important fact is that doe's will never put the babys back in the nest -they just leave them outside .you have to check each night to make sure they are all in the nest -the one you touched should be ok
