can rabbits with 10 days old litter be moved to a new place?

hi,

I have problems with rats. if I leave rabbits in a small chicken coop where they are now I am afraid that rats will eat all the babies. I wonder if I move mothers (2) with their 2 nests to a safe place would they still nurse them and take care of them.

I know some people remove the kits and give them back to the mother in the evening and morning, if you are not worried about the mothers being hurt then that might work. Not sure about moving both mothers and nest, I think it would work depending on the mothers, if the mothers are not skittish I would move them

thank you. I moved them all, 2 mothers and remaining 17 babies. they are in my kitchen now in a rabbit cage. not too much room so I have to make a safe cage soon.
