I know for sure that she is pregnant. She's become very aggressive and has tripled in size in the last couple of weeks. We can also see the babies move when shes laying on her side. This will be her first litter. I'm not sure when she got pregnant due to us thinking we had 2 females together.

I agree with Robins.
If you haven't already, put a nest box in her pen. Fill it up good with hay.
You know it's going to be within an hour or so when she starts to pull her fur.
The whole process only takes about 20 - 30 minutes.
When she's done give her a small slice of apple & look in the box & remove the dead buns.
Check in on them twice a day for the first week, but be quiet & don't let strangers in there for a peek.
She might get nervous & stomp on them.
Depending on her age & because it's her first,she might lose the whole litter. Don't be too dissappointed because it's something that just happens.
Good Luck!!

Sounds like the babies will be along very soon! Make sure she is alone in her cage, as if she is still with the male she will get pregnant again shortly after giving birth, which can be very stressful for her and the babies. Even another female in the same cage may harm the babies. Good luck with your rabbits!

Although I will agree with most of whats been said, I would like to respond to this
** You know it's going to be within an hour or so when she starts to pull her fur.**
I'd just like to say that it's NOT TRUE I've been breeding rabbits for years now and have had does pull fur as far as 2wks before their kits were born.
