Answer
Hi Tasha

Are your male and female rabbits both un-spayed and un-neutered?

If this is the case and they are over 3 months old then this is a strong possibility.  You need to separate them immediately and you need to give the doe a nice safe place to have her babies.

I recommend this article on nest boxes..

Here is also an article about bonding rabbits.  It should help you decide what to do with your rabbits after the babies are born.

Good luck and I hope your doe does ok.
