Found abandoned ( I confirmed) baby rabbits. They walk around the nest a bit and then go back. Are they ok or do I need to do something?

They look healthy and their eyes are open. I would leave them alone
As someone else said, if their eyes are open and look healthy enough to move around, i wouldn’t do anything! Just be careful around them if they’re in your yard, etc
Mother rabbits never stay with the babies. They don’t want to attract predators. She’s probably some where near by hiding. They come back and feed in the middle of the night.
Me personally, I would see if any rescues have room for them. Not a dire MUST SAVE NOW, but they’re for sure in that bumbling, can-walk-but-barely, easy snack stage.
Just let them be. If they have fur, eyes are open and they left the nest they are fine.
Mother rabbits only feed at dusk and dawn to prevent leading predators to the babies. If they look healthy and are moving around they should be ok
They’re old enough to be out and about. Thanks for trying to help but they’re A-ok!
No help needed, little guy is ready for the world!
They’re so adorable! In a couple weeks, they will be ready to take on the whole world. Please just let them learn and grow on their own. Right now they’re making little excursions out of the nest and nibbling green food. They still don’t have a natural scent yet, though, so please stay well away from them so you don’t make them smell interesting to predators.
These guys are still a few days shy of self-sufficiency. They DO need help! Please feel free to call.
