rabbits eat there babys, because of a reson. sometimes they doe, knows when a kitten is going to die. it sted of leaving it there to rot and kill the other babys, it eats it. this sounds mean, but its then only way for the others to live. the also eat there babys when you go near the babys at age 1-days. wait about 4 days then you can see them. some kittens (baby rabbits) don't die. there the one's that are healthy.

More than likely the newborns are already dead and she is just eating them to get rid of them. It is the herd instinct to get rid of dead babies that might attract predators. Sometimes though it is an over anxious mom that starts cleaning her babies after giving birth and doesn't know where to stop. Rebreed her and if it happens again cull her from your herd.
A mother rabbit will not kill her babys unless she thinks that she can not take care of them because ethier there isn't enough food or there are to many to look after, but this rarly happens so not to worry. Another thing when a mother rabbit gives birth the first thing she will do is make noise and then start to remove the excess plasma from her vagina area to make way for the kits, when you see a meaty flesh in her mouth do not be alarmed into thinking shes eating one of her babys its actually just the excess plasma.
hope this information is helpful
From a Rabbit Breeder
The only reason a rabbit, any rabbit, not just males, will eat their baby is a preservation of the herd instinct. A dead baby will attract predators by the smell. Rabbits will eat dead babies to get rid of them so that predators will not find the herd/burrow. Rabbits are herbivores and do not normally eat meat.
Sometimes mother rabbits eat their babies because the mothers are scared or anxious. If you have a mother rabbit with a litter of baby rabbits, make sure to disturb them as little as possible. Make sure that dogs, cats, birds, etc. cannot bother them.
It can be caused by: stress during pregnancy/birth or an inherited condition
If someone had interfered with her nest, she will step on them to kill them.. Or eat them, Cause she thinks that they wont survive.
mother rabbits won't usually kill their babies unless they have to do so to survive.

Foxes can kill rabbits by scaring them to death, by stalking around outside the cage or hutch. Or, if the fox can actually get to the rabbit, it can kill the rabbit with its teeth.
