Maybe it's like dogs and it's trying to show domains over the other. Just separate them indoors!
Baby rabbits will start drinking water when they start leaving their nest box and explore their environment. Generally, they will mimic Mom and drink a little water right away.
Rabbits hump stuffed animals and other such things (like furry boots) for the same reason that humans masturbate: to satisfy the sexual urge. "Mounting" is a different behaviour than "humping" but they are sometimes confused by human onlookers. Humping involves mounting but also there's a clear back-and-forth action and it's sexually-based. Mounting, however, is often related to dominance or social status -- the dominant rabbit will mount the subordinate rabbit just so everyone knows who's boss, and it's not necessarily a sexual act. It's recommended that rabbits are neutered/spayed. Neutered/spayed rabbits usually won't hump things, although they may still mount other rabbits in a display of dominance. (There are many reasons to spay/neuter rabbits, not just so they'll leave your stuffed animals alone. See the related link below).
It is a common misconception that rabbits are harmful to the plants they eat. A rabbit is a grazer. They will simply eat a few leaves and move on, leaving the root system intact. I some places their may be a seeming over abundance of rabbits, but this problem tends to right itself overtime. If the rabbits eat the plants before the plants grow back then the lack of food will cause the population to decline until the number of rabbits is compatible with the number of plants available to eat. It is not necessary to trap and remove the rabbits as long as there is patience involved.
Yes, they will try to mate with each other. They are signaling to a buck that they are ready to breed. They are not actually trying to breed. BUT every rabbit should have it's own cage so how is this happening? Another opinion: Rabbits of both sexes sometimes mount another rabbit as a show of dominance. Mounting isn't always a sexual behaviour. One female mounting another is trying to assert dominance. Keep an eye on your bunnies and separate them if it turns to fighting. Rabbits can be kept in the same cage if they're bonded. Usually this means the rabbits must be neutered/spayed - but, in some cases, when they've been raised together, female rabbits can be kept together even when they aren't spayed, and they won't fight. When rabbits are bonded, that means they don't fight and are affectionate. The bonding process can take anywhere from a couple weeks, to many months of patience and hard work.
