Found it this morning. The mother has three other kits, this is the smallest. Ample water and food, cage is cleaned regularly and there is no contact with droppings or urine. We feed them with a homemade blend of grains as well as straw. Any idea what caused it? Very new to this, it is the mothers first litter but it seems really strange that it dropped dead without any signs beforehand

Edit: I did mean hay, we use straw for bedding during the nesting box phase and i got confused. Also thank you everyone, we're going to switch to store bought pellets. As I said, very new to this so I'm glad I reached out before things got too bad
