Hiya

Yea this is normal and can be a dominance thing. Perhaps with the smell of Bluebell around they are feeling the need to show whose boss.

so long as it doesnt get aggressive its fine. x x

This is dominance behaviour. Buns mount each other to say 'I am the boss'. Keep an eye for fighting but otherwise it is perfectly normal.

They are working out who is the boss bunny. Animals usually exist in a hierarchical structure. As long as the bunnies aren't being aggressive, and there is no circling and full-on chasing, then it is OK. A bit of chasing and nipping is OK.
