Some does do become very aggressive in the later stages of pregnancy and especially when kindling time closes in. It is not uncommon for a doe to "go for you", lunge, growl, thump its feet, etc. while building her nest and even once her litter is kindled. It is instinct to protect her litter.

Is your rabbit is pregnant she rabbit has built a nest but she took her nest out of the box the day after it rained does this mean she is not pregnant or is she letting the nest dry since it is wet?

It is difficult to determine if the rabbit is pregnant based on nest-building behavior alone. The rabbit may have removed the nest from the box to let it dry if it got wet from the rain. Keep an eye on the rabbit for other signs of pregnancy, such as nesting material being pulled from her fur or an increase in appetite.

Sort of your preference, If you are sure she is not pregnant it is probably a sign she wants to be bred. Leaving her nest will not hurt a thing unless she is using it for a potty.
