Take Care of an Abandoned Baby Rabbit - Take a spare box you have laying around the house and fold a towel to place at the bottom. Place another towel on top of it so the bunnies can snuggle with the towel and keep warm.
Put a thin blanket over the box to make it dark. Fold back a corner so that there is about an inch open for the babies to get fresh oxygen.

Place the box in a quiet room where there is not a lot of activity. You want the babies to be able to rest and stay calm. Loud noises and rambunctious children are not a way to keep the baby bunnies calm.
Keep the room where the box is located between 68 and 72 degrees. If the room temperature is lower than that, you can place a heating pad on the low setting underneath the bottom blanket. Make sure that you only place the heating pad in one half of the box. This way, if the bunnies get too hot they can move to the side of the box without the heating pad.
Buy kitten milk replacer from a local pet store or veterinarian. Also buy acidophilus capsules from your local health food store. Make sure to buy the capsules that have the grainy filling rather than the powder because it is easier to mix. One capsule of acidophilus is equal to 1 cc. You will need this for measurements. You will also need a container of cream to mix with the kitten milk replacer to make it more caloric.
Caring for abandoned bunnies can be a daunting task. Knowing the type of bed you should make your bunny and what kind of food the baby bunny should eat is important because doing both of these properly will increase the newborn's chances of surviving without its mother. If this is a wild baby bunny that you are caring for, try to get in touch with a local wildlife rehabilitation center, which can care for the bunny and reintroduce it to the wild. If this is not an option, nurse the babies yourself with the following steps, and then release the wild bunnies when they are 5 inches in body length, urinating and defecating without problems, and eating hay and greens and plenty of water. - by eHow
