Yes, it is very rare but can happen. The term for such a baby is a "mummified kit". Again, very rare and most often causes the doe to become infertile/sterile.

Most people who "know" their rabbit is pregnant and then don't end up with a litter didn't have a pregnant doe. False pregnancies can also lead people to worry the litter is "stuck", but again, the doe wasn't actually pregnant.
