Bunny mummy questions

Mama Doe
Okay I know I'm paranoid but this is the first time any of my animals have had babies! So forgive me :)
She was over at the nest there but she was just eating the hay off the top of it but I gave her fresh hay on "her side" if you will. Is this normal?
 
They tend to preen up the nest topping it up with hay, straw, fur, shredded newspapers etc... and they cover and uncover the babies presumably so she can clean them/feed them? But I think this usually happens out of human sight about 2am...

We had no idea Madam was pregnant (we had her 2 wks!) so we opened the bedroom and disturbed the nest as we wondered why she hadn't come out for breakfast! So she had a little "tidy" of it after we had gone and made sure her babies were warm, covered in shredded newspaper amongst other things!

Lol thats okay yeah we never normally see her near the nest so it probs was just a wee clean about.
