1. leave them alone...my rabbit had 8 babies 6 days ago and i haveent done anything with them there doing great...ive been thru this a dozen times..i know its very tempting to wann pick them up and play with them but the mother bunny will think there is something wrong and eat the babies...but the best thing is to leave them alone make sure the mother has a lot to eat and drink she is gonna need it.... GOOD LUCK
2. some spooked rabbits kill their babies...a good doe will not ....a good breeder will let u handle them and count them...if u have problems go to a rabbit breeder and get u a new mama rabbit...u dont want to keep a rabbit that eats her babies....sometimes a car backfiring can spook them to killing their litter...other then that if the babies are out of the nest they dont need to be taken care of mom should do all the work
3. i would check on the litter take a peak in the nest, and make sure everyone is alive and doing well, then leave them alone
