Hi, Our rabbit had 6 babies on Augest 8th and its been about a month. What we didnt know was that the father got the mother pregnant right after before we could get him out of the cage, So she had 5 more babies an exact month later. I need to know if we can take the one month babies out or if we can keep them in the cage with the mom. Please help!

If the older set of babies are healthy and fat, go ahead and remove them. It will be far too stressful for the doe to nurse both litters, and she may reject or become aggressive with one or both litters, or cannibalize the younger littler.
The older litter should be with her another two weeks and may not do well being weaned this early, but I feel it's the best you can do given the situation.
And yes, it would be a fine idea to keep the adult rabbits far away from each other, and/or have them spayed and neutered.

i think the mother will be fine with the 1 month olds in there just leave them make sure the father is out right after they sexed! And make sure the mother has tons of space!
