I've posted my question the other day "Problems bonding the 3rd rabbit". Thanks for the answers!! There is no problem with the lop male bunny, he seems get along well with any bun, but the female bun (not lop breed) always chased and mount any new bun i've brough home, and posture as if she is mating with the lop male bun from the back. I was so angry and tried to give to juz a soft slap, who knows whe bit my palm, bleeding!! I've had her since Nov last year, and she seems a bit wild, and make lots of noise by scratching and kicking, especially when we r sleeping. Should i give her away?

First of all, you should never slap a rabbit because that will cause instant distrust from it. It now considers you an enemy and you should give it away to a good home.
She just wants to breed and she won't take time to wait for the male to mount her. three rabbits are too much. if you want to mate her, put just her and one male rabbit together alone in a cage. then cover it halfway. give them some privacy for a while and see if they mate.

First rabbits should be kept separated. Secondly, she wants bred or she already has been bred and its just a natural response of hers. The rabbit was doing nothing wrong. You just put her in the wrong situation.
Secondly, never EVER slap or hit your rabbit. I'm not saying that from the point of "Oh, you're being mean." I'm saying that from the standpoint of how rabbits interpret that act. When you hit a rabbit in any manner that only makes the rabbit more mean. They are not like cats or dogs as far as their mentality. When you hit a rabbit, that rabbit takes that as an act of aggression towards it. So you basically become a predator or enemy in its eyes and it will fight back more and more. So its very natural that it would bite you.
I recommend separating her ASAP. You may have taken a nice friendly rabbit and turned it mean. Turning a mean rabbit into a nice rabbit is a hard thing to do. Turning a nice one into a mean one can be pretty easy to do though. All you can do now is just separate it into its own pen, then get it out regularly and pet it and never hit it again.
It's not a matter of her needing to be fixed. Fixing a rabbit won't make them all nice. About the only thing it does is helps reduce the hormonal level.
I've been raising rabbits for 25 years. So I know their mentality pretty well and how they react to certain things.
