As the Cheshire Cat points out, everyone's mad in Wonderland, so if the March Hare weren't mad then he wouldn't be there.
His character is inspired by the phrase 'as mad as a March hare', which is believed to be derived from the idea that hares behave in a fairly insane manner in March, because they are feeling frisky and are keen to mate.
However, in his annotated Alice, Martin Gardner says that after extensive observations, two British scientists failed to find any evidence to support the idea that hares become frenzied in March, but that their behaviour continues as it normally does.
It is possible that the term 'mad as a March hare' is actually a corruption of the phrase 'mad as a marsh hare'.

Why is it always tea time in Wonderland?
From the text of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, we can see that tea-time is 6 o'clock. However, because the Hatter has upset Time, who is described as though it were a living person, it's ALWAYS 6 o'clock, and therefore always tea-time. 'And ever since that,' the Hatter went on in a mournful tone, 'he [Time] wo'n't do a thing I ask! It's always six o'clock now.'A bright idea came into Alice's head. 'Is that the reason so many tea-things are put out here?' she asked.'Yes, that's it.' said the Hatter with a sigh: 'it's always tea-time, and we've no time to wash the things between whiles.'From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
