The average number of bunnies in a litter varies, but generally it ranges from about 5 to 7 babies per litter. Some sources say the average litter size is around 6, while others put it at about 5 or 7. However, litters can be as small as 1 or as large as 12 or even up to 15 in some cases. Key points:
- Average litter size is about 5 to 7 bunnies.
- Litters can range from 1 to as many as 12 or 15 babies.
- Mother rabbits (does) often have multiple litters per year, especially in favorable conditions.
- Rabbits can breed frequently, sometimes producing a new litter every month.
So, a typical rabbit litter usually has around 5 to 7 babies, but the number can vary widely depending on the breed, environment, and health of the mother rabbit.
