- If the mother rabbit dies take care of the baby rabbit like its mother
- feed it the baby rabbit food.
If the mother dies before babies are weaned you can get baby kitten milk replacer and a kitten baby bottle and feed the babies. IT IS A REALLY HARD JOB. The babies must be fed and then stimulated to go to the bathroom and then cleaned up just as the mother rabbit would do. (you can also feed them canned goat milk, I say canned because not too many people have a fresh goat on hand.)
If the baby is old enough to be eating rabbit pellets you are OK, just give the baby extra grass hay and plenty of water (maybe put electrolyes made for rabbits in the water.)

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.
