How old are they? You might need to bottle feed them. Vet will only euthanise if they are suffering and nothing can be done. If you aren’t confident with baby bunnies it is kindest to take them to the vet.
 
They are 5 days old & we checked mama she does have milk we are go to try and get some of her hair around the nips and put under and on top of kits
 
Are they indoors or outside? I wouldn’t start plucking hair from her belly. If you can see their ribs and no fat belly it means they haven’t been eating properly more than just today, they could have other health problems. Get them inside if they aren’t, get them warm, get their bellies full and if in doubt, speak to a vet.
 
If the kits are cold you need to warm them or they won't want to nurse and will continue to worsen. I would use a warm pack or warm water bag to help get their body temperature up. You have to be careful and make sure the pack isn't too hot, and make sure the babies also don't over heat. Once they are warm, they should become more active and then they should want to nurse. Unless they have become dehydrated, then they may need electrolytes first, that are warm but not hot. This is what I would do.
 
Last time i feed was around 12 & she is indoor bunny we got some fur and put on top of babies hopefully yhey get warm it's cause the day she gave birth idk she had the babies till later in at night i let her out at 1 and came to find the kits at 8 so someone grabbed her cause she usually would be around in front of our apt & everybody in the apts knrw she was ours so we knew thia kids had her he would try to grab her & the male. Bunny when they were outside & after 4 daya they brought her back she does go in where the kits are & smells them or does something then comes back out or sniffs around the box they are in
 
Does it mean that she will take care of them if she goes in the box they are in & does that?
 
I'm sorry for your loss :( you need to make sure you keep your bunny somewhere secure, i didn't completely understand your messages, but you need to make sure your doe doesn't mate again and stays safe and secure so she cant be 'grabbed' and just wander in front of the apartment.
 
Well she was trying to do a nest in our apt & she did but that they i let her out they grabbed & well we gave her back to the kids who took her in the first place because we told him to bring her back that same night i found the kits& they didn't they brought back almost 4 days later its them to blame
 
I still don’t fully understand, but the main thing here is to make sure she stays safe from now on.
