Does a female rabbit build its own nest?
You do not need to build the nest. The doe will bud the nest herself, using straw and other materials, and fur from her belly. You should thus provide extra straw for her to build with. She will keep them warm this way, don't touch the kits! The doe will only be with them a few times every day, but she has not abandoned them. Just don't touch them.

Can a pregnant rabbit live with a non pregnant rabbit?
Its not a good idea Every rabbit should have it's own cage and a pregnant doe not only needs her own cage and nest box but peace and quiet. Having a non pregnant doe in with her would cause too much confusion. The non pregnant doe could jump in and out of the nest box stomping the babies or cause the doe to stomp her own babies by jumping in and out of the box herself while trying to protect them from the other doe. Does will fight, pulling fur, slitting each others ears and scratching eyes.
Will a rabbit make nest without being pregnant?
Yes, a rabbit can build a nest without being pregnant. Usually false pregnancies cause this, where the doe believes she is pregnant and the body goes through the motions of pregnancy (i.e. eats more, builds a nest, can become aggressive, etc.). You may also notice a very crude version of a nest by either bucks or does during a heavy molt. If the rabbit sleeps in one spot and already has a "bed" made, while the fur is being molted out it can get caught within the bed and look like a very crude nest. *Note: This is not actually a rabbit making a nest, but can be mistaken as such*
