A mini rex rabbit can have 2-12 kits in a single litter.
All rabbits, big or small, and including Mini Rex, will have a litter that has about 2-10 kits in it. However, most litters have 6, 7, or 8 kits in it.
Bunnies typically give birth to 3-8 babies in each litter, but they can have as many as 14. The babies, called kittens, are born hairless and blind, and are nursed by the mother until they are ready to eat solid food.
I am currently on my 5th litter on mini lops. Although i always have a runt in each litter i have only ever had 1 peanut. it only survived around 3 days from birth & was very sad to see it deteriorate. My doe is due to give birth anytime, I will let you know with this next litter.
The average Californian litter is 7 or 8. Since a doe only has 8 teats this is perfect. If your doe has more than 8 they will have to be culled or fostered to another doe that doesn't have a full house. That is one reason why it is advisable to breed 2 or 3 does at the same time. So you have does to foster babies to. They do not have to be the same breed. I had a red Satin doe that raised a little broken mini lop baby. It sure was a funny sight in the midst of those 7 red satin babies.
Mostly on the first litter mini lop have about 3. If that happens they don't make it.... (they can but this is unlikely) then you breed again and you can get anywhere in between 4 and 10... Rabbits do not go into heat.. so they can have babies at any given time they are with a male. And a know that alot of rabbits have the first litter not make it like i said above, but that isn't alway the case, alot of rabbits (inculeding mine) have strong healthy litters. they are some breeds that always have 2 to 4 babies like the jersey woolys. Even if that did happen it does not always mean the babies will die. So mini lops can have between 4 and 10 babies. It is very likey that they have about seaven babies. On the first litter they can have less than four.
