Question
i need to know how may babies it have and how many litter can it have in its life span

Answer
Dear Ella,

Smaller breeds generally produce smaller litters, but not always.  An average litter size is six, but this can vary tremendously among individuals and between litters, depending on many factors.

To learn just how prolific a rabbit can be (i.e., how many babies one can have over a lifespan), please read:

I hope this helps.
