Answer
1) seperate the nest building doe from the buck.
2) give her a nice clean nest - this can be out of strong clean cardboard box - the size of the doe ( not to much bigger )cut the cardboard so that the top is free and one of the smaller sides has a lip about 8 inches on it.  Give her lots of clean dry hay to make a nest with.  Sometimes it is good to tie the nest to the side of the cage so she cannot tip it over.

go to http://conejosmexico.tripod.com in the fotos page and you can see what I use for nests - 19 liter plastic  - humm do not know the word in English - jugs ?

Pregnancy lasts 31 days more or less - there is nothing sweeter than a nest full of baby bunnies - at 15 days they are sooo adorable !

You are sure that the other rabbit is a male ???  Rabbits can have false pregnancies, and bulid nests and then have nothing to put in them.
