Floppy eared rabbits

Question
Can a floppy eared rabbit have babies at 8 weeks old? If so how long would she carry the babies? Would it hurt her having babies so young?

Answer
It would be highly unlikely for a rabbit that young to be pregnant.  Generally they cannot get pregnant until 4 to 6 months.

A rabbit pregnancy lasts about 31 days.

And yes, a too-young mother could have health issues.
