Best Answer

Mother rabbits are very gentle and careful when they jump in and out of the nest box they have to get in to nurse the babies, however, if someone or something frightens them they could jump on and squash their babies. A snake in the area will cause a rabbit to jump in and out erratically and they could kill all the babies unknowingly.
