Yes bunnies do spray.

Oh boy, well, the fact that they are not neutered does make this extremely challening. I mean you are asking for them to control their hormones, and that really is impossible.

Do they both try to mount each other, or does one usually mount the other.

You should start from scratch and see if you can get them officially bonded. Check out the bonding page for instructions.
Regarding the mounting. Let them mount only if the one being mounted allows it without fighting. But also only let mounting happen for 20 seconds and then push the mounter off for a minute or two and let him mount again. When you say they nip, are they nipping while mounting or do they chase each other and grab fur off each other. Have they ever gotten into a real fight?

So it seems you are worried about the “risks” of surgery. What is it that you have have been told that makes you feel it’s too risky?
