If a mother rabbit is stepping over or around it's litter of babies, they should be okay. If the mother is acting aggressive or neglectful, it might not be okay. Sometimes a mother rabbit is not ready to accept a litter of babies, and she will kill them. If she is very young she sometimes does not have the ability to care for the newborns, and she will kill them. I had a rabbit who did this once. It is nature's way. If you think the newborns are in danger, you can remove them from the mother and try feed and care for them yourself. If they are very young you may be unsuccessful. Try calling a responsible animal store, or your local vet for advice. Some shelters have people who are very well trained in these situations also. You will know if the babies are in true danger. Good luck.
