Female rabbit mounting & phantom pregnancy: Should I spay them?

Question

We have 2 sisters and 1 brother aged 14 months old together.The male has been neutered. One of the two females keeps mounting the other female and her brother, one or both females have had phantom pregnancies in the past 5/6 months. Should we have the one doing the mounting and stressing out the other two neutered or both females. At the moment we have separated the nuisance one from the other two. Thankyou Linda. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 2 months old

I would recommend having both rabbits spayed, as this can help with behavioural issues, as well as reduce the risk of certain types of cancers and infections.
