Are you looking to house them together or separately when the babies are older?
If you plan on housing them together, then the cage space can be a bit smaller than if you had to house them separately.
It they will be housed separately, then I would have each cage at least 2X4ft. If you did an NIC cage, 2X4 would be big enough and you could build it up 5 or 6 panels. Some people have metal shelving units and use the panels to make cages. Building your own frame could also be done.
You might be able to make it one large cage if they got along later.

It really depends on the space you have available. The cube shelving panels can be configured to fit the space.
Here's are a couple of my favorite ones, courtesy of other members. The first one is 2x3x3, probably the better size for three rabbits.
And below is an example (not a 'plan'), of a throw-together pen I made for a weird corner of my living room. I'm about to rebuild it to make it look a lot neater, but its an example of how you can overlap panels, double them up to make them more secure, put shelves in the middle of panels, etc..

They are called NIC panels; you will also find them listed as wire cube storage
organizational wire grid
A lot of people use them in their homes as storage units within closets or in the bathroom to hold towels.
You should be able to find them at your local target or walmart, or home depot and other hardware stores. Usually in the organizational or storage sections.
