Your rabbit pulled her 2nd litter of kits out of the nest and killed them then killed the one surviving rabbit from her first litter why?

Actually, domestic rabbits will not kill their young if they have been touched by humans. In fact, it is recommended that a while after they are born, if the mother will allow it, to check the kits and clean any bloody material from the nest box. First pet the mother to get her scent on your hands and touch as close to her nose as possible so all that she can smell is you then proceed to take the nest box out. that's quite hard but the female rabbit eats her bunnys if you get your human scent on them so you shouldn't touch them until they have fur. If she was by a male or could smell one she may have killed the babies to protect them.
