It's easier to tell the rabbits sex, when they're older. By now you should be able to tell. I got my first two in September of 2003 (~8 weeks old). I think your rabbits are mounting each other to show dominance or "who the head bunny will be". They're territorial like other animals. I remember reading that they can fight each other to the death; though, if they don't get along. I have a male Netherland Dwarf, who mounted my female Mini Lop,.. but I could tell that she was going to be a very docile bunny the first day I seen her (before she even met my male), and my male, who I had a few weeks before my 2nd bunny, already had quite the little attitude.
