Will a rabbit make nest without being pregnant?
Yes, a rabbit can build a nest without being pregnant. Usually false pregnancies cause this, where the doe believes she is pregnant and the body goes through the motions of pregnancy (i.e. eats more, builds a nest, can become aggressive, etc.). You may also notice a very crude version of a nest by either bucks or does during a heavy molt. If the rabbit sleeps in one spot and already has a "bed" made, while the fur is being molted out it can get caught within the bed and look like a very crude nest. *Note: This is not actually a rabbit making a nest, but can be mistaken as such*
Will a pregnant rabbit kill her babies if there are other rabbits in near by in other cages?

We got 2 female rabbits a month ago that were abandoned the vets can't tell if they are pregnant and they have started to make a nest is this a sign that one is pregnant or do they do it anyway?
If the vet couldn't tell whether your rabbits were pregnant or not you need a new vet. A simple palpation of the rabbit's stomach would have determined pregnancy. Most likely if one is building a nest she is about to have babies. The does should be separated if they are together.
