Is it ok that a mother rabbit is stepping on her its or will this kill them?
If a mother rabbit is stepping over or around it's litter of babies, they should be okay. If the mother is acting aggressive or neglectful, it might not be okay. Sometimes a mother rabbit is not ready to accept a litter of babies, and she will kill them. If she is very young she sometimes does not have the ability to care for the newborns, and she will kill them. I had a rabbit who did this once. It is nature's way. If you think the newborns are in danger, you can remove them from the mother and try feed and care for them yourself. If they are very young you may be unsuccessful. Try calling a responsible animal store, or your local vet for advice. Some shelters have people who are very well trained in these situations also. You will know if the babies are in true danger. Good luck.
Your bunny has laid her nest already and you need to know if you can move her to the rabbit hut now or wait till the babies are born?
You will not want to disturb her or the babies after they are born. I am not sure how she will react to the change you make to the nest. Do it very quietly and peacefully and hopefully the hut will have the same sounds and temperature as where she is now. Also, note that there are specifics that the rabbit nest must have since the babies can have problems with the ammonia from their urine. When our rabbit had babies I was surprised at how tender they are to having just the right situation--make sure the male is not located close by.

In the wild mother rabbits stay away from their dens during the day so that predators will not be attracted by their smell. Most pet rabbits follow the same instincts and only feed their kits once or twice a day.
When will your rabbit feed its bunnies first?
The doe will feed her babies at least once a day maybe even twice. It will be real early in the morning while your asleep. During the day the doe won't even touch the nest which is ok. If the babies look bigger each day then you know she's feeding them.
