This would be considered to be a very close Line Breeding.
This is line breeding. VERY close line breeding would be FULL brother/ full sister, mother/son or father /daughter. It is an acceptable practice and will either garner very good results (multiplying the best traits) or very bad results (multiplying the worst traits.) Line breeding is also done in dogs.

no
What happens if the buck rabbit keeps breeding the female?

Can breeding a rabbit too often kill your rabbit?
first answer: no second answer: Yes, over-breeding your rabbit will lead to stress, poor health, and an early death. Breeding takes a lot out of a body: you need to give it time to recuperate and build up strength before breeding again.
