Mother rabbits often act as if they don't have babies they tend to ignore them A LOT even when the babies can climb out of the nesting box the mother will hop away from them. This is normal. Because baby bunnies don't have that high of a scent and the adult mother does she will keep away from them often so she doesn't attract any predators to her nest

But if you know for a fact that the mother has abandoned them there are a few reasons why she may have left them. She may have believed them to be weak, she may have been too young, she may have just not wanted them, an unwanted scent may have gotten on them (like another female rabbit), or in some cases they may abandon them if they have gotten pregnant again too soon after birth (rabbits can get pregnant within an hr after having a litter)
