The rabbit normally builds her nest about 2-3 days before her kits are due to be born.
It is difficult to determine if the rabbit is pregnant based on nest-building behavior alone. The rabbit may have removed the nest from the box to let it dry if it got wet from the rain. Keep an eye on the rabbit for other signs of pregnancy, such as nesting material being pulled from her fur or an increase in appetite.
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.
snake is lays eggs in a nest build on trees
When my rabbit was pregnant, we didn't even know that she was pregnant. When we found out she had given birth, which was some minutes after she gave birth, she was in the middle of constructing her nest. So my guess is, they build their nests a little while before or immediately after giving birth.
that will always be the female that is pregnant with her kits
If a doe has a false pregnancy she will build a nest.
A female will begin gathering grass, hay, and her own fur to build a nest. Once she does this, she will give birth 24-48 hours later. --Newfoundland97

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.
Nest is a spring word. The birds build nests in the spring.

Count 30 days from when she was mated. About 2 days before she has her babies she should start to build a nest, this is another indicator!
