    Depends on what she is wild about.
    A rabbit doe in the wild does not to my knowledge move her kittens. The doe leaves the warren, a large congregation of rabbit burrows, and digs a single smaller burrow where she gives birth and rears the young. This nesting burrow is blocked up by the mother when she goes out to feed for the first couple of weeks.

    When I used to go rabbiting if we found such a burrow we would push a long stick or piece of wire in and when we pulled it out it had fur on it we knew someone was home.
    By the way Rabbits are pests in Australia so we study them very closley
    Yes, if her burro is in danger she will seek and find a safer home for her brew, baby rabbits are blind for the first week so are totaly dependent on the mother. She can leave the burro and know that her brewe will stay untill she returns. She will then take them one by one to the new home
