I dont know much about this but there have been a couple of threads like this lately and i have picked up the following ;

Mum needs lots of extra food as she will need to make lots of milk- hay, greens, and nuggies.

Mum will build a little nest so she should have plenty of bedding materials,

Try to let mum get on with it herself - she wont like it if the babies smell of us humans so try to resist handling them unless you think there is a problem.

If you do need to handle them try rubbing your hands with bunny mess from the hutch so you smell like a bun.

Someone will be along shortly who can provide you with a lot more detail than this too......

Try not to worry - I bet you and your bun are going to be just fine.

We have had a couple of new people who have found that their buns have had babies out of the blue. The thread above has a link in it to a particularly good site.

Keep posting for advice.

Here is a good link http://www.rabbit.org/care/babies.html
