I think I will get her spay'd after the little ones are fine and able to do stuff for themselves.

The babies shouldn't be separated from their mother until they are 10 weeks old. Good luck!
Well she has two seperate cages, so there shouldn't be any problems there. Also when she lets them out, she does it one at a time, so no conflict can occur.

We ended up finding out that Snowflake has gave birth to 5 (not 4 as previously thought) rabbits. However only 2 are surviving. Snowflake did start eating one of the others last night (while my Mom was eating her dinner - she said all she could here was the bones crunching!). However she removed the dead ones yesterday (with some old tong things from the barbeque) and snowflake seems to be doing fine with the current two ("Speedy" and "Nee"). We've also put a towel over the cage, so she's in the dark and she feels happier with that.
