If a rabbit gives birth to one still born fetus will it give birth to any more babies because rabbits never usually have just one baby?

Yes, if a rabbit gives birth to a stillborn she will still continue on with the rest of her babies, and when finished it is quite normal for her to eat the still born baby.
Rabbits are not prone to cannibalism, as many people think. Cannibalism is an occasional result of a stillborn litter, and this is nature's way of cleaning up the "mistake." The activity and noisy squeaking of healthy babies trigger the "maternal instincts."
