The mother rabbit will not make a nest until about 2 days before she gives birth. So, if there is some time to go you have nothing to worry about.
If she has had the babies and they are not in a nest you are going to need to help her out. Groom her to get plenty of hair from her, bundle it up with some hay and lay the babies in it. She should hopefully get the idea.

∙ 15y agoYes the mother will return, Put the babies and nest back the way you found it the best you can. Mothers only return at night, so don't asume they are abandoned. Go to this site for more info: http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/orphan.html

∙ 12y agoOur Lionhead pulled out her hair and delivered in about 2 hours. We had to send someone to get a nesting box but all six were born before the nest box arrived. They don't say "quick as a bunny", for nothing!

Is your rabbit is pregnant she rabbit has built a nest but she took her nest out of the box the day after it rained does this mean she is not pregnant or is she letting the nest dry since it is wet?
She's probably just drying it. Why else would she build a nest from her own fur? To check for babies you can gently feel the rabbit's stomach for lumps.
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.
You had a rabbit that made a nest in your creeping phlox in your front yard When the babies started coming out when the Mother would come at night to feed them there were 7 babies Is this rare?
yes its rare to have 7 babies at one time but yu should give the mother 1 carrot per day to let the babies survive I LOVE SEX
Does your bunny poop alot when pregnant?
how do you know if a rabbit is pregnant About 5 days before a rabbit is going to have bunnies they will begin to build a nest with hair from their chest.
My rabbit is pregnant she made a bed 2 weeks ago an still no babys the past 2 days she wont let me near here an she been grunting a lot is this a sign of being in labor?
If your rabbit made a nest 2 weeks ago and hasn't had babies yet, she isn't going to. Grunting is probably a sign that she is ready to breed and don't be surprised if she is pretty aggressive. You should breed your doe, count out 30 days on your calendar - that is the day she is due- count 27 days within the 30- that is the day you put a nest box in with her so she has time to build a nest before the babies get there. She should not have a nest box all the time. Be sure you put the nest box in a corner of her cage that IS NOT her potty corner. If you do she will use it for a potty (like a cat litter box).
Why has your rabbit got fat and made a nest?
It is pregnant, give the rabbit extra bedding where she has made her nest, be expecting up to 10 babies.
Your rabbit has made a nest but no babies?
It may have been a false pregnancy. I would try to breed her again.
Your rabbit has made a nest and been with a buck how soon will the babies arrive?
When You Find The Rabbits Humping Each Other!
When a rabbit looks after her babies is it normal for her to take the top off the nest now again that you can see the babies clearly?
yes it is very normal for a rabbit to take off the top of the nest when her babies are clear to see.
I have a rabbit who made a nest up high can i move it im worried about the babies falling?
Yes you can move it but make sure that the mother isn't looking and that you wear gloves so that you don't put your scent on the nest or the babies
How rabbits have babies?
The first sign of a rabbit having her babies is when she starts to pull out her fur and make a small nest....then the rabbit will stay in the nest for a while...if u want u can look but do not touch the babies...if u touch them they will get ur sent and she will kill them
How long can a mother rabbit delay labor if her nest is disturbed?
WELL if you disturbed the nest leave it alone for a long time, make sure you do not touch the nest because she can be so stressed and scared that she will hold the babies in and then she and her kits(baby rabbits) will die!
Why does your rabbit eat her fur?
it is not actually eating it's fur it is just making a nest for it's babies or sometimes it makes the nest for itself to keep it warm trust me i have a rabbit
Your rabbit has had babies but she had one outside her nest and its dead what should you do?
Remove and discard immediately.
If a rabbit has been making a nest for about 5 days now but how do you know when shes ready to give birth?
Very seldom does a rabbit make a nest and then not have babies after 5 days. Your rabbit may have had a false pregnancy.
Are rabbit nests made for baby rabbits?
A male rabbit would not make the actual nest for the female but he would be very happy for his fur to be pulled out for the babies to have a comfortable nest. Any rabbit in the pen wouldn't mind the mother rabbit pulling there fur out for a nest because rabbits LOVE to be respected.
