Nero and Lupa have been living together for around 6 months now. We've never had any problems. Today we saw Nero trying to mount Lupa, first from the front then from behind. He's never tried to mount her before. Lupa just turned around and walked away and didnt seem to care.

I know mounting is normal but is it normal for it to happen 6 months after being bonded for the first time? Is it possible its just because its spring?
 
Assuming that both your rabbits are fixed and this isn't hormonal, mounting is also a dominance behavior, so they will occasionally try it again, even though they've been together a while. Something may happen where the top bun feels that it needs to show it is still the top bun, or the other bun might be having ideas of moving up the ladder :) So, it's a normal thing.
