Dear Aryonna,

Please read this for help:

But as it clearly states in my instructions, an emergency like this is NOT time for seeking internet help.  You should have gotten the mother rabbit to the vet (the story your boyfriend tells you sounds very strange; I hope he is telling you the whole truth), and certainly called a local vet for assistance with the babies.

I hope they survive and that you can find them good, safe homes.
