They use their own fur, straw and hay
To prevent rabbits from nesting in your yard, you can install fencing around your garden, remove potential hiding spots like tall grass or brush piles, and use repellents or deterrents specifically designed for rabbits. Regularly inspect your yard for signs of rabbit activity and take action promptly to discourage them from nesting.
Usually it is just a home or a nesting spot for the bunnies to be born.
You should not use cedar shavings as nesting material. Although it smells great to us, it has fumes and dust that effect the rabbit's respiratory system and eyes.
Unless there has been a mistake in the sexing of your rabbits it is quite likely a phantom pregnancy. Phantom pregnancies and other hormonal activities can be prevented in large part by spaying both of your female rabbits!
Female rabbits may keep hay in their mouth as part of nesting behavior or to transport it to a comfortable spot for building a nest. This behavior is common in pregnant rabbits or those in a nesting phase preparing for birth. It can also be a way for rabbits to carry and store food for later.
Is the mother a wild rabbit and you just found the baby rabbits? If so, leave them where they are. If the mother is Domestic and inside, as long as the room they are kept in is warm they should be fine. If they are outside in a hutch, a nesting box would be advised.
To effectively get rid of rabbit nests in your yard, you can start by removing any food sources and shelter that attract them. You can also use fencing or repellents to deter rabbits from nesting in your yard. Additionally, consider contacting a wildlife removal service for assistance in safely relocating the rabbits.

Spayed rabbits can occasionally have the symptoms of a false pregnancy and begin nesting behaviors. As long as this is not prolonged or too intense it is nothing to worry about. Try to distract your rabbit with toys, give her other things to play with and do.
no. i have them they will not use them
Wild rabbits typically live in groups called warrens, which consist of a network of interconnected burrows. These warrens provide shelter and protection for the group of rabbits. However, each rabbit within the warren has its own burrow for sleeping and nesting.
The behavior you describe here is typical of a Phantom Pregnancy. When a female rabbit is unspayed this is not an unusual occurrence. The best thing you can do for her is to have her spayed. This nesting behavior and hormonal impulse is actually quite stressful for her (although often amusing to watch a bunny running around with her mouth full of hay) and she would be far happier when spayed. It is also worth remembering that most unspayed and unmated female rabbits died of uterine cancer at between 3-5 years of age, spaying can increase life to 10-12 years.
