My rabbit just had a litter of 5 and she had them on the floor of the cage it's an aquarium and the nest seems fine last time I moved her litter she didn't take care of them should I try moving them to a nesting box anyway or will they be fine in the cage???

Leave them where they are. Don't go messing around with nature unless you have to. Rabbits are pretty good at taking care of business. The baby's will be self sufficient very soon. Let nature take its course.

Leave them alone. I used to raise rabbits and I had one Vixen that I bred twice. Both times, she ate her babies. I thought the first time maybe it was because I checked out the babies so the second time I just left her alone but she still ate them. Guess some just aren't meant to be mamas. Of course I never bred her again.

You leave the babies alone. the mother might thin you are a threat and hurt her babies. Leave the babaies alone everytime you touch them you run the chance of the mother never taking care of them. GO READ A RABBIT BOOK!!!

Leave them alone-mama rabbits get pretty cranky when you mess w/ their newborns and may abandon or kill them.
