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.

How can you tell when your rabbit is pregnant -- do they get fat?
Only very experienced rabbit handlers can gently palpitate the rabbit's abdomen to feel the little baby rabbits. If you do not know what you are doing, you could hurt the mother and kill the babies by doing this. If you think your female rabbit might be pregnant, provide it with a nest box so it can start building a nest. A few days before she is ready to deliver, she will start pulling out her own fur and padding the box with hay. Be aware however, that some female rabbits have 'false pregnancies' and may start to build a nest even though they are not pregnant.

How do you tell if my female rabbit is nesting?
Although it is actually the presence of a male rabbit that will cause a female to come into season - within a very short space of time- female rabbits still have a sex drive, and will mount each other, if more than one are kept together, and theywill pluck their own fur and make a nest, even if kept alone.

Do rabbits use the same nest for breeding over again?
No, the mother makes a new nest of grass, leaves, and her own fur 24-48 hours before she gives birth, she uses this nest until the kits are weaned. If she is a domestic rabbit, you must clean the nest away to keep her healthy, she will make a new one with the next litter. If she is a wild rabbit, she will leave the nest and make a burrow until the next litter is due, then she will build the new nest in her current burrow. Rabbits dig new burrows very often to avoid predators.
