some rabbits are born without hair at first then when the rabbit gets older it might get hair or not

All baby rabbits are born naked (without fur). Baby hares are born with fur. This is one difference between rabbits and hares. Unless the rabbit sick, or a mutant (seriously: I mean mutated genes), then it will grow fur. All normal baby rabbits grow fur eventually.
