With a gestation period of only 26-30 days, female rabbits may produce up to 6 litters in one year, and litter size averages between 4–5 kits. Type of rabbit makes very little difference - unless you have a meat breed.

Iceni needs to get some facts straight. The breed and size of the rabbit does make a difference. The gestation period is 28-32 days. An English Spot will typically have around 4-9 babies. Some breeds of rabbits will have only 2-3 rabbits, others can have as many as about 16. Six litters is the maximum amount that a doe (female) can raise if she raises them herself. However a very few select breeders will try maximizing the number of rabbits they raise out of their best does and can raise as many as 12 litters per year by fostering the babies off to other mothers.
