She eats them and the afterbirth so that the scent doesn't attract predators.The father is not involved in the kits normally, but there are known cases of the father helping.When rabbits breed in captivity it is best to take the father away as to not only get the female pregnant again but he may kill them.

Why do rabbits eat their babies?
The mother or the doe will feed her babies milk. The mother may not do this immediately and it might take a while for her to feed the litter. So don't be scared. The mother does this for 15 minutes on and off all day. The mother feeds her babies milk for 3-4 weeks. Sometimes the baby may not wean(wean-not depending on the mother for food) until 8 weeks.Rabbits and their Babies This happened with my rabbit and its young. Rabbits do eat their young but they dont mean to if the baby is dead the mother will not know this and will try to revive the baby by nibbling on it when the baby does not respond the mother will start biting. They dont eat them as such but they do bite them to try to revive them so n a contex they can sometimes end up eating their young.

What will happen if you keep the baby rabbits?
If you have already taken in wild baby rabbits, chances are very high that their mother will not take them back. Mother rabbits will abandon their young if the baby bunnies, smell of human rather than rabbit. Baby rabbits can be fed warm cream using miniature baby bottles, if need be. Place the baby rabbit on its back, as this is the way it would be suckling from its mother, and place the nipple of the bottle in front of its mouth. Please note: It is best to leave wild life of any kind alone, the best thing to do for the safety of animals taken in from the wild, is to call animal services.
