Rabbits shouldn't drink any milk at all, they're herbivores and vegan, and any amount of milk can make them sick. See the related question below for details about a healthy rabbit diet.

If you're talking about baby rabbits drinking their mother's milk, then no, it's not possible for them to have too much milk because they'll self-regulate and drink just the right amount on their own.

If you're hand-raising baby rabbits who have been orphaned, then yes, it is possible to feed them too much "milk" -- but they should never have cow's milk, only KMR (kitten milk replacer) or, in some cases, goat's milk. If you're hand-raising baby rabbits, you should research how to do it properly, and it's best to consult a local rabbit rescue group or wildlife rehabber. See the related links below for details.

How much 2 milk should you feed 1-week old baby rabbits?

For 1-week-old baby rabbits, it's generally recommended to feed them a specially formulated rabbit milk replacer, as cow's milk (2% milk) is not suitable for them. If you must use a substitute, goat's milk or a rabbit milk replacer is preferable. Each baby rabbit typically needs about 2-4 cc (milliliters) of milk every 4-6 hours. Always ensure the milk is warm and use a syringe for feeding, as baby rabbits are unable to nurse from a bottle effectively at this age.
