Rabbit missing

Question
I have 4 rabbits, 2 male and 2 female.  They are litter box trained and wander in the basement throughout the week.  We never let the males out together.  Last night our youngest male, (I beleive he is a netherland lop) broke out through the bottom of his cage.  When we went downstairs in the morning there was clumps of hair everywhere and he was missing.  We checked everywhere and under everything and couldn't find him.  
On another occassion when he was a baby we introduced him to our other male who was about a year old.  They attacked one another and the older one was hurt and was very shy until he started feeling better.  
We put the other 3 rabbits in their cage so maybe he would come out of hiding.  But he hasn't come out all day and has been without food or water.  How can we get him to come out to check to make sure he does not need to go to the vet?  Or is it possible that our other male could of eaten the body?  

Answer
Dear Catherine,

The "winner" of the fight didn't eat the body, but the little bunny might have wedged himself so tightly somewhere that he can't get out.  In a panic, they can do that.

Please check *everywhere*:  behind every piece of furniture, behind any appliances, and be sure there are no holes where he might have slipped into the walls.  Leave no place unsearched.  You would not *believe* the places a small rabbit can get into.  I have found lost rabbits wedged into the holes of a cinderblock holding up a fence, wedged between a washer and dryer, inside a duct, and even wedged behind a dresser.  You must find him because he probably cannot free himself.  If he could, he would have appeared by now.

Leave no stone unturned, and even the most unlikely area searched:  inside cabinets, behind installed counters, etc.  He's there.  You just have to find him before it's too late.

Good luck!  I am hoping you find him very soon, and that he'll be fine.

Once you do find him, please have all the bunnies spayed and neutered.  This will reduce the likelihood of fighting, though it might not completely solve the problem:

Please let me know when you find him.  I'll be praying for the little guy!
