My female rabbit had babies overnight!

Question
My female rabbit had babies overnight and although we did not know that she was pregnant,(or even how she got pregnant)she had been nesting for about a week( this is not unusual as she does this around the time of her season) anyway there are two babies and they are both dead and just abandoned on top of the straw. She will not let me in to her hutch and get aggressive when i try. At what stage should i remove them? I would be grateful if you could let me know i don't want to upset her any more.
Thank you in advance
Vicki

Answer
Vicki,

I'm sorry that this answer took so long to get answered, it was sent my the expert to the question pool. Hopefully I can help though.

I'm sure you have handled it by now, but dead babies should always be removed immediately.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. I am sorry once again that this did not get answered earlier by the expert you asked initially.
