Mrs Robinson gave me a parting gift of a litter of babies. We were not quite sure she had actually mated. The father is probably Bunny boy although she did spend time with Stud bunny too she didn't seem keen to mate and we weren't sure Bunny boy had done the business - they did spend some hours together though, so it would seem so!
She seems to be spending time curled up with them which is unusual for bunny mums, they normally spend about 5 mins a day with the babies, they rush in, feed them and then leave them hidden. Hopefully they are ok. We will see in a few days. She is quite a nervy mother so we don't like to disturb them too soon, just check none have fallen out the nest box from time to time. Hopefully she is not thinking of eating them! That has happened to some of hers in the past although she seems more settled now.
