Rabbits are sexually mature at the age of 3-4 months, and that is when they can physically begin to reproduce (although it really isn't recommended, because this age is still considered young). If you mean their gestation period (how long they carry their young from pregnancy to birth), it's 28-30 days.
Hope I've helped!
For more information on pregnant and young rabbits (or anything rabbit-y in general), visit http://www.rabbit.org .

Rabbits are fully grown when they are 6 months old. At this time, their reproductive organs are mature enough to start having litters. Sometimes this can happen at a younger age, but it is not healthy for them until at least 6 months of age.
A rabbit will be pregnant for approximately 28 days, and will have between 1 and 8 bunnies each litter. They can become pregnant again just weeks after giving birth.
If you're considering breeding, please research your rabbit's breed and learn her temperament so that you know what to do, when to separate her from the male, etc.
The houserabbit society (www.rabbit.org) is a great site to recommend, however, since they are into saving those who are already orphaned, and into prolonging the lives of rabbits by having them spayed or neutered, they do not have information on the sexual maturity to begin breeding bunnies. I have found an expert page Q&A from another site, that states it specifically for you tho. Hope this has been helpful.
