She mated with another bunny and she is collecting hay and building a nest. She is also harder to get out of her hutch. She wants to stay still.

Probably. Try and disturb her as little as possible. If a doe feels under stress when she has a first litter she can attack the babies. Do the minimum of cleaning out, just enough to keep things hygienic. if you haven't done it already separate her from all the other rabbits.

What Kunnoita said!! Good answer. But, you need to remove her from the other rabbit if you haven't already. Most rabbits won't deliver until 31-33 days after mating. Some does make their nest days in advance, others right before delivering. Hopefully your buck wasn't much bigger than the doe. There's always the possibility of the babies getting stuck. Don't bother her, just keep a watch for any straining or babies half way out. Good luck

First when did you mate the rabbits? If it is close to 25-30 days since they bred then yes she is pregnant. If you just bred them then she may be having a false pregnancy.
If it is close to 30 days then you need to get her ready for the kits to come. She needs a nestbox with hay or straw in it.
Make sure she has fresh water at all times. Do not increase her food until after she delivers. Do not remove her from her cage right now.
Try and keep everything around her quiet as possible. When she has the kits make sure you check them and remove any that are dead. She may not have them in the box so then you will have to move them into the box. That is the best place for them.
Check them everyday to make sure they are being fed. Mother rabbits (does) only feed once or twice a day. You probably will never actually see her nurse them. To check if they are being fed enough you should look at their belles if they have just been fed their bellies will be very round and tight looking. If they are not being fed they will look skinny and wrinkly. Kits can go about 48 hours after birth before being fed.

YES. Rabbits are always either prgnant or fixin' to be. Start knitting some baby booties. About 23 pairs of them.

If you have a female rabbit and a male, then you are going to have little bunnies.
