A male rabbit would not make the actual nest for the female but he would be very happy for his fur to be pulled out for the babies to have a comfortable nest. Any rabbit in the pen wouldn't mind the mother rabbit pulling there fur out for a nest because rabbits LOVE to be respected.

Sometimes though the rabbit will have what is called a phantom pregnancy and she will make a nest and never give birth.

How do birds get their names?
Hundreds of years ago, rabbits were called "coneys" (pronounced with a soft o, as in "honey"), and baby coneys were called "rabbits." Over time, the word coney was phased out, and the word rabbit came to be used for the adults; baby rabbits are now called "kittens" (or "kits"). The current nickname for rabbits, "bunnies," derives from their original name. Some languages still use the original name (e.g. the Spanish word for "rabbit" is "conejo"; the Dutch, "konijn"). Some species have the word "rabbit" in their name, like the jack rabbit, when they're not actually rabbits: e.g. jack rabbits are hares. Hares and rabbits are closely related, though (both lagomorphs). It's a common misconception that "bunny" means a baby rabbit. Baby rabbits are called "kits." The word "bunny" is just a nickname for "rabbits." Rabbits has a scientific name "Lagomorph" which means long ears, big feet, and continually growing teeth. So a man named a rabbit a rabbit for all its appearances.

What are the names for the homes of wild rabbits and of pet rabbits?
In the wild, rabbits live in groups of up to ten underground in a burrow. The burrow is part of a chamber of burrows, which is called a warren. There can be up to twenty burrows in a warren. With pet rabbits, it rather depends where you keep them. If the rabbit is outside in a home made from wood then this is called a hutch. However, if you keep the rabbit inside in a smaller house made from plastic/metal this is called a cage.
Is it safe to use baby wipes on your rabbit?
No, you can't clean your rabbit with wipes. If you have to spot-clean your rabbit, try the dry bath method with plain cornstarch powder (see related question below for details): it's the safest cleaning method for bunnies. If the dry bath doesn't work, you can use a soft cloth and plain water. If plain water isn't enough, you can try a shampoo, but not just any shampoo will do! Rabbits have extremely sensitive skin, and most shampoos made for humans -- even babies -- are harmful for rabbits; even many shampoos made for pets (even for rabbits!) are not safe to use. See the related question below for more information and for helpful links. If your rabbit is dirty and needs cleaning, something is wrong! Rabbits are usually clean animals. Unless you know for sure why the rabbit is dirty and that it didn't hurt the rabbit (maybe you dropped a spot of tomato sauce on the rabbit's back), then you should bring your dirty rabbit to the vet. Treating the symptom (the dirtiness) isn't enough: you must treat the cause or else the problem will only get worse.
