Early nesting behavior question!

Today is day day 32 and Daphne finally had her first litter and on Labor Day...so fitting! 13 babies all alive and well and wiggling! Thank you for the advice you all shared with me!

So how many days into the pregnancy do you need to have the nesting box ready?

And at how many days into the pregnancy do nipples appear?

I'm new to rabbits, but with cats and dogs, they start to show before the birth, and also the hair around them recedes. But nobody talks about this with rabbits? Not sure why. They are mammals too. And wouldn't this also be a proof they are pregnant indicator?
