How many babies can a rabbit have in one year?

Answer 1

The number of babies, or kits, a rabbit can have in a year partly depends on the breeds of the rabbit. However, a normal size litter is 4 to 8 bunnies.

Theoretically, a doe, or female, rabbit is capable of having a litter every month as they will re-breed right after kindling if forced but this is a very bad practice for both the doe's health and the kits she has, so you should never try to breed your pet rabbits this often.

A more reasonable answer is that a pet doe can have between 4 to 6 litters a year. Wild cottontails will normally raise one to two litters per year.

So, the answer to the question of how many babies can a doe rabbit have in a year would be somewhere between 16 and 96.

Answer 2

The average litter size of dwarf breeds is 2 - 4 bunnies, and for the larger breeds is 6 - 12 bunnies." See the Related Links for "Raising Rabbits - The Basics" to the bottom for the answer.
