Max amount of rabbits in litter?

Question

My mini-lopped rabbit is pregnant, at the most, how many baby rabbits might she have?

Answer 1

I once had a rabbit (New Zealand) that had 17 in a litter.  I doubt your mini lop will have anywhere near that many.  

Edit:  Susan, did it ever occur to you that some people might be breeding, for say... FOOD??

Answer 2

wow... my fuzzy lop had 13 in a litter once...

so i guess it's something crazy big

Answer 3

Why are you breeding?

They can have up to a dozen or so babies.

Right now, as you read this, healthy rabbits are being killed at animal shelters simply because there are more wonderful rabbits than there are rabbit-people.

What can we do to stop the killing? Adopt from a shelter.

Do not allow your rabbit to have even one litter. Even if you find good homes for those babies, those are good homes that the shelter rabbits won't get. And what if each of those babies is allowed to have one litter? Will you take responsibility for each of them finding a good home? I can guarantee that within one or two generations a rabbit from that "just one litter" will end up dead at a shelter.

Talk to others about this problem. Many people are unaware of how many rabbits are being surrendered and euthanized at shelters-and compared to the ones who are dumped in fields, those at shelters are the lucky ones. Lucky to have a lethal overdose of sodium pentothal injected by a caring person!

What have we come to when that's the best we can offer these guys? To purchase from a breeder or pet store is to write a death warrant for a shelter rabbit. When you adopt from a shelter, you are saving TWO rabbits - the one you adopt, and the one who can come in and fill his spot.

It's as simple as that.
