Take the nest box out and return it to the doe twice a day so she can nurse the babies.

Are there other adult rabbits in the cage with the doe?If so, they should have been removed. A good rule whenbreeding is "each rabbit to it's own cage". Rabbits are veryterritorial and may become protective of their young.
