We had one for about a week and just got the second today, don't know an exact age, between 2 and 4 months I was told. Yes they are housed together.Female can hump as well, it is hard to be sure from your photo, looks a bit like a male to me indeed. How old is this rabbit? Also how long you have him/her and what age of your baby, is it boy or girl?
Are they housed together, do you have any other rabbits around?

So this one in photo is with you about one week and age is between 2 and 4 months. If it is a male you should be able to find his testicles already, but keep him on your lap and pet with one hand, and with your other hand just try to find them while his attention is distracted, because they can hide their testicles when you want to check them directly. It looks like a male to me indeed.This one we have had a week, the new one is female we got today
To my knowledge they were both females, they aren't fighting at all.You should not really house them together anymore, they might hit puberty and begin serious fighting, your bun humping the other is already a starter sign of that, i haven't really heard of babies showing such behaviour. Also, then it would make sense if that bun was a male and around 4 months of age, you might just have a buck that's beginning to turn teenage.
Same age I think closer to 4 months as she is bigger. She seems fine with itSo this one in photo is with you about one week and age is between 2 and 4 months.

What about your other new rabbit, you say female, what is her age, how she reacted to being humped?
It's not like they will fight right now, babies generally don't care for fighting with other younglings. It will become a problem when one of them switches into teenage mode, generally at 4-5 months for boys and 5-6 months for girls, but always, each bun is individual.To my knowledge they were both females, they aren't fighting at all.
We only have one house for them, it was my old lioness who passed, I wanted 2 young females so they would bond and can be housed together.It's not like they will fight right now, babies generally don't care for fighting with other younglings.

Babies don't mount each other as far as i know. It would be a great idea to think about housing them separate before stuff gets serous.
There are already a number of posts with titles similar to ''my young bunnies got along so well but then they fight, help?''
This second photo looks like a girl but it is hard to say you should apply more pressure, here is a thread you will find instructions and clear pics for sexing rabbits.
