Mother Attacking Babies !

Someone please help!
I have a Netherland dwarf and she is a bit of an agressive rabbit in general but has been such a great mum to 5 kits! They are all 5 weeks old from today, I took the babies away from her for the day to get them all vet checked and genders checked, I did have a small baby rabbit play with them whilst in the vet, as I put them back into the cage with the mum, àthe mother started attacking them, I tried getting her smell on them but no matter what I do she keeps attacking them.
What do I do ?

I would try again. Rub your hands in her toilet then stroke the babies, try putting them back with Mum one at a time. Put some of her favourite food out to distract her. Hopefully this will work. Let us know how you get on.
