Babies should be checked immediately after birth to make sure there are no dead babies or wet bedding. As long as your hands are clean and free of scents from lotion etc. it will be fine. You should not take them out of the nest and hold them until they are 3 or more weeks old for any reason other than checking on their immediate health and making sure bedding is dry.

Are you asking if babies rabbits can die from getting their urine on them or are you asking if baby rabbits will die if they do not urinate?? Baby rabbits will die if they are in an unsanitary nest full of their urine (a wet nest) baby rabbits will also die if they are not stimulated to urinate which the mother does after she feed s them until they are old enough to go without her stimulation. That is why if you are bottle feeding you must stimulate the babies to get them to urinate everytime you feed them.
