Baby rabbits have trouble regulating their body temps until they get properly furred out, which is why it is critical that they have a good nest of hay and fur to snuggle together in. Babies that get separated from each other may be a bit cooler than their huddled-together siblings at these temps, but they shouldn't feel cold. Are you sure they are all getting fed? I would be very concerned about any that are noticeably cold to the touch, particularly if their tummies aren't full and round. Baby rabbits can survive without food for a day or two, but not much longer than that.

I am worried, they are never all together when I check in the fur and hay. She goes in with them and stands while I put everyone under her. There is still a couple who are cold and tummies not full. I fear i will lose them, but it is her first litter so I am prepared to deal with the loss

Lost two today. Maybe the remaining three will survive. Their bellies are fuller than the ones who died.
