Question
can a domesticated doe rabbit have twin babies

Answer
Hello,

Yes, they can.

In fact, rabbits normally do have a "multiple births" That simply means that more than one fetus is born from a pregnant animal. Rarely does a rabbit only have one kit (baby rabbit).

A multiple birth includes more than just twins though, it can also include triplets, quadruplets, etc.

Just as with humans, the resulting baby rabbits can be also dizygotic (fraternal) or monozygotic (identical).

Let me know if you have any more questions!
