Answer
You can find information at http://www.rabbitnetwork.org/articles/sexing.shtml to help you determine the gender of the rabbit.

If she is a girl and is pregnant, the length is usually 28-31 days.

If there are babies, you can learn how to take care of them at http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabcare.html#baby
