Answer
Hello,

First, make sure you have a nestbox for her. Here is a website with some information: http://islandgems.net/nestbox2.html

Without a nestbox, the kits will not be confined and could easy be killed by the movement of the doe in her cage. It is very essential that you buy or build a nestbox if you have not already.  If she has already pulled fur, you can just add it to the nestbox and she should take care of the rest. :)

The best way to tell if the pregnancy is false is to either palpate at 14 days or wait it out. The full gestation period is 28-32 days. Since the rabbit is near being due, palpation is not an option. If after 34 days from the date of breeding she has still not conceived, you can remove the nestbox.

As far as care of baby rabbits, I am going to Include some links to articles. Good luck!
