The rabbit normally builds her nest about 2-3 days before her kits are due to be born.
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.
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.
Even if a rabbit is spayed (or neutered), he or she may still build a nest and such things because of their natural instincts. This does not necessarily mean that the neutering was unsuccessful.
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.

Unless you want her to dig a warren in your yard, yes. A domestic rabbit female needs a secluded, protected area to kindle. She needs a nest box full of clean hay or straw to build a nest in.
A rabbit would not eat its nest, only rabbit food or food.
Your rabbit is collecting fur in her mouth because she is wanting to build a nest for her future young. This is a seasonal behavior and does not necessarily mean your rabbit is pregnant. However, I would pay attention to your rabbit just in case she could be pregnant.
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.
