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!

Your rabbit is nesting but cant be pregnant as weve had her from birth and shes not been near other rabbits she collected nesting material and pulling fur out is this normal?
The behavior you describe here is typical of a Phantom Pregnancy. When a female rabbit is unspayed this is not an unusual occurrence. The best thing you can do for her is to have her spayed. This nesting behavior and hormonal impulse is actually quite stressful for her (although often amusing to watch a bunny running around with her mouth full of hay) and she would be far happier when spayed. It is also worth remembering that most unspayed and unmated female rabbits died of uterine cancer at between 3-5 years of age, spaying can increase life to 10-12 years.

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
