If you've opted to put them back, do this (gross as it sounds...).

Use gloves, find the poo around the nest site, rub it into the baby's fur and then put them back. It makes them "smell" like something familiar instead of unfamiliar human odors.

I've never tried this on a rabbit, but we've gotten sheep, goats, cats and dogs to adopt another's babies (when the mother died or rejected the baby) with very good success using this disgusting technique.
