My six month old bunny boys have been bonded since birth. Even at 4 months old one rabbit was protective of his brother.

They share a largish dog crate overnight and large pen throughout the day.

I just wish they would stop humping each other so much. Not sure what to do. They constantly groom each other and even share their food.

At 6 months, they are likely going through puberty or reaching sexual maturity. From what I understand, humping can be a sign they are deciding who is the dominant male and if they have enough space they may figure it out with little issue, or they make start fighting if they haven't been neutered. Maybe be super watchful to make sure they don't hurt each other. Also, I've read a bit about the baby bond, and that when they are babies, it's not really a true bond. I would just be careful that they don't start fighting to exert dominance.
