Wild rabbits are one of very few animals who are extremely sensitive to human smells, and will do as you say and abandon their offspring if they have been touched by humans. Luckily most domesticated rabbits don't exhibit this behavior, but some do - so I think you were smart to not touch them without gloves. But there's no guarantee that @papa-pepper's rabbit will abandon its babies.

Thanks for the info. I don't know which continent they came from from but they were white. I live in West Africa. Any idea what specie that is? Every once in a while they would give birth to one grey colour baby among as many as twelve white ones.
No, I don't know much about African rabbits, sorry!
