There's quite a bit to look into before actually breeding the rabbits. I've found this site to be helpful. Just click on the various links in the table of contents.

Theres alot more to breedng rabbits then just putting a buck and a doe together (even if your just breeding meat rabbits)
The link ChickenToes gave is a very helpful one.

Never put a buck into the does cage. You always bring the doe to the buck. It takes about 28 or more days before the doe kindles and you should put the nest box in a few days before she is due.

Rabbits kindle 31 days post breeding in all my experience breeding rabbits I only ever had one doe not have her bunnies on the 31st day she went over 2-3 days and it killed her. I would put a nest box in 3 days prior to kindling.
