rabbit nesting

Question
Once a rabbit moves the hay like a nest. How long would it be before they have babies.

Answer
Dear Margaret,

Normal gestation for a rabbit is 28-31 days, so if it's been about that long since the bunny mated, then she's preparing for the event now.  Once she starts building the nest, birth follows within a day or two.  Please read:

for information on how to help her prepare, and please especially read:

I hope that helps.
