Bunnies hump for a variety of reasons. It can be from a fluctuation in hormones but also to assert dominance, stress or even from excitement.

I fostered pair of lop girls that began mounting each other once they hit puberty. It didn’t escalate into fighting, so they were able to remain together.

With humping though, it *may* trigger a false pregnancy in one or both girls. Have they experienced that at all?

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get a health check done by a rabbit savvy vet and determine their gender for certain. I would think there would have been babies by now if you had a male/female pair, but it is possible some rabbits to be delayed in development and bucks to have undescended testicles.
