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.
i have 2 pet rabbits and they are supposed to be both girls but the larger one of the two keeps trying to mount the smaller one could it be possible that it is a boy i have the exact same problem. at first i thought it was boredom, so i built a run in the garden but they still kept doing it. Now, the rabbit which we think is female seems to be leaving blood wherever she goes to the toilet. Do you think she is pregnant?
Yes, it's not uncommon for a female rabbit to hump a male, or even another female. This behaviour is part of establishing dominance and sometimes the female is the top rabbit. Once the rabbits become accustomed to each other, this behaviour should eventually stop.
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.

Personally, I have had TONS of rabbits and they're in heat for at least 2-7 days. maybe a little longer depending on the breed. I've had Mini Lops, Mini Rexes, Checkered Giants, Jersey Wooleys, New zelands, Silver Marten... I have owned every breed, but the English Lop!!!!!!!

Mounting/Humping in the rabbit world is not necessarily a sexual behavior but is commonly about dominance. Your female rabbit is expressing to the young male that she is the boss!

they could but they would need some exercise. Leaving them in the camper cage would not be the best for them.
Rabbits do not have periods like humans do. Instead, female rabbits go into heat, which is called estrus. During estrus, a female rabbit may show signs such as increased aggression, restlessness, and mounting behavior. These are not the same as period symptoms in humans.
