You can make your own, for one time use you can even make one out of sturdy cardboard. Wood is more durable though.
There are several designs, this is quite popular: http://www.thenaturetrail.com/rabbit-equipment/build-nestbox-wood-plan/
You don't need the wire floor, 3 layers of tight fitting (so the doe can't dig it out easily) cardboard will do, you can pull out wet layers.
I use closed boxes, with one entrance hole 2-3" above the floor (to reduce the chance that a kit gets draged out hanging on a tit), big enough that the doe can stretch out. Mine are made of wood, but a sturdy cardboard box will do too.
