There could be one of two reasons.
1. She is Pregnant
If she is pregnant you will see babies within a few days.
or
2. She thinks she is pregnant (a false/phantom pregnancy)
If this is the case you need to get her spayed ASAP. This will stop the behaviour. If she is already spayed she will most likely stop building and move onto some new project in a few days!

Can you put a towel in a rabbit's nest box?
If this question is about a nesting box where the rabbit will take care of her babies, the answer is no: do not put a towel or any fabrics in the nesting box. Only put hay in the nesting box. See the related link below for more details about building a nest for a pregnant/nursing bunny.If this question is about the rabbit's enclosure in general:Towels can be dangerous for some rabbits. Some rabbits like to bite and tear towels, and then there's the risk of digestive problems if they eat any of it, or they could rip holes in the towel and get their head or legs caught in it, which can lead to panic and injury.Other rabbits are fine with towels: they might scratch at them a bit but they don't eat them or rip them open.Whether or not you can put a towel in with your rabbit depends on his or her behaviour. For the first week or so, only let the rabbit have a towel when you're there to supervise. Once you're sure the rabbit isn't being dangerous with the towel, then you can put it in the nest box or cage permanently; but inspect the towel every day for signs of damage or wear.See the related question below about rabbit cages for more information about what to put in the rabbit's enclosure.More info:no because it would scare the rabbit and she could go into shock also you might confuse what time of day. another thing it that rabbits only need 8 hours in the dark

Is your rabbit pregnant if you were cleaning her cage and found big balls of hair?
actually i would take out the balls of fur u found if you touched them. she may not like your scent on them.. The rabbit is nesting. Better leave it alone for a while. Just give it food and water and put the hair balls back in the cage for nesting. Your rabbit might actually be pregnant or it could just be a false pregnancy, this happens alot with rabbits. Just leave the fur where it is :) Hope this has been helpful
