Yes, but only once it has reached sexual maturity. Different breeds of rabbits mature at different rates, anywhere from four to six months. Generally they are considered to be sexually mature by six months old. Some breeds can even reproduce as early as 12 weeks old.

So to avoid any accidents it is best to make sure any male offspring are removed from both the mother and any female siblings as soon as they are weaned, at approximately eight weeks old. At this point, each rabbit should be placed in individual cages, as it is extremely difficult to determine which kits are male and which are female.

Yes They Can I Currently have a doe mothering 12 kits 4 of which are not hers.

You would be better off with just 8 kits but if you have no other choice they WILL manage to feed more. A doe has only 8 teats. You need to feed a doe that is this overloaded VERY well.

It's not advised.

The offspring of incest breeding (inbreeding) usually suffer health or genetic complications. Including:

  • Genetic heart complications
  • Genetic lung complications
  • Eyesight problems
  • Deformed or unformed bones
  • Breathing difficulty
  • Webbed feet
  • Hair/fur loss

Animals don't quite understand the issues with inbreeding, so it's up to us humans to prevent this.
