I am happy that you are paying close attention to your rabbit and her babies. It's likely that she is being super clean and actually eating the feces and cleaning away any urine from her nest as soon as its produced to keep her babies clean as well. Make sure she has plenty of food, hay and clean water. Rabbits prefer to raise their kittens without being disturbed so try not to handle her too much.
