Rabbits usually make their nest somewhere it is dark, quiet, away from activity, and safe from harm. Pet rabbits can use a small cardboard or wooden box. Wild rabbits dig burrows underground and often make their nests in a stopped up room at the end of a tunnel.
Bunnies may create nests from instinct, even if there are no babies. This behavior could be due to hormonal changes, comfort seeking, or nesting instincts. It's normal for rabbits to exhibit nesting behavior even if they are not pregnant or have no intention of breeding.
Doe rabbits often have false pregnancies. If it has been over 30 days since you bred your rabbit and she built a nest but had no babies she had a false pregnancy. Next time you breed her let the buck 'hit' her 3 or 4 times. Then keep accurate records of due date. You can palpate your doe at 2 weeks to see if she is pregnant.

Moving them too soon can disrupt this crucial bonding process and lead to stress for the mother and her babies.
