mutiple rabbits

hi everyone,
I am having real behaviour problems from my buns at the min. i currently have 6 buns (3 pairs) all male/female and all neutered. 2 of the pairs are kept outside in a shed/avairy set up connected to each other but borded up so they cant see each other. the other 2 have free reign off the dining room which is about 10ft. The problem is that recently when i let them out for their free range time (seperate pairs off course) they have started behaving aggressively towards each other, nipping and chasing which they never did before. I understand that the reason for this is prob the scent of the other bunnies on the grass but what can i do to stop the agression before it escalates into a broken bond. They all have plenty of space but i dont want to take away their binky time but i also really dont want a fight on my hands. They have been all been bonded for at least 6 months so i dont understand the sudden behavior. Any ideas guys?:)
 
It is partly the time of year too. It is what is known as spring fever, it is coming up to rabbit mating season and they tend to get a bit frisky, it should die down in a few months
 
I have quite a few pairs of rabbits and have never had any aggression due to others being near by, except for one pair where the male was a very stressy bun for a bad home. Main can see and sniff each other through the wires and there are no problems. Its probably the time of year.
