Question hi need some advice re baby rabbits

Hi am new to this site and was wondering if someone can help me.

I have, well am looking after, my brother's two rabbits. One is male and a dwarf and the other is female and a giant rabbit (im not sure what type).

They recently moved house and came to stay with me as i have room for them in my garden. They are living in seperate hutches in an enclosure with two guineas in another hutch so have got a little petting zoo going on

Basically they came to stay with me at the end of September, had the male done at the vets early oct and then on the weekend of the 11th of oct we noticed a nest in the females cage and it was moving.

Turns out that she has had 5 babies

Now they are still in her hutch and i have been keeping it as clean as i can but it could really do with cleaning out. When would i be able to do this?

The babies are doing well and eating and drinking and are getting very big.

When would i need to separate them from mum and also when do they need to be separated from each other as we do not know how many boys and girls we have.

Also we are thinking of keeping one probably a girl now would she be ok to live in mums hutch with her?

Many thanks and sorry for so many questions
