The humping may or not stop...if you want to keep them in the same pen, they will usually get prego by 4 mo or so.
Doe rabbits hate other rabbits, and will fight for territory.
They do not like things moved in their pens either, and will be very happy if left alone, feeder & water bottle & salt lick undisturbed.
They hate other rabbits and will probably fight with or kill another rabbit in their pens, especially a male.
Males, altered or not, usually do not care who is in their pen.
In the wild they would go burrow to burrow imprgnating.
This is why, if you breed them, you always put the doe in the buck's cage to let them mate.
NEVER put another rabbit, male or female, in the doe's cage, she will fight & kill any other rabbit in her "territory".
Rabbits are not social creatures, and they hate each other.
I recommend seperate cages for each rabbit you keep.
And a plywood partition between close cages so the doe cannot even see the bucks.
Once of mating age, fighting will start if they are in the same pen.
Don't know what else to tell you, other than that, there are great rabbit raising web sites...
well that explains why my rabbit Bugs turned mean.... it would attack anyone.... it would growl hiss and stab you with its claws.... i had raised it from a baby bunny and made sure to socialize it and spoil it..... but i had to give it away after a year because no one could take care of it... i would be able to pet it and when a friend or family member walked up it turned mean.... put water... put food in and hiss growl attack. it also liked jalapenos and dog food..... never having a rabbit again after that experience... but maybe it was because he turned out to be a she... (entered it in the fair one fall under meat rabbit and they said it was a she.... i didn't win anything.... apparently for a california it was underweight.... i do not know how that was possible....).... no one ever warned or knew rabbits can be so rabbid.
