A rabbit nest is a structure built by a rabbit to lined with soft materials such as fur and grass in order to provide a comfortable area for the doe to raise her litter. The nest is usually located in a burrow, but may also be constructed above ground in dense vegetation . A doe will typically build several nests during the breeding season, and will use them interchangeably depending on her needs at the time. For example, she may choose to move her litter to a new nest if the first one becomes soiled or if predators are threatening the area
