Do they do this for same reason males do? Does it mean she needs neutering?
Shes about 5/6months old.

I don't know the answer for the first question.
But yes it might be as she's reached sexual maturity [5-6 months]
If you were going to get her spayed any way, then you can now depending on your vet

Yuri sprayed I dont know if she will continue to shes just been neutered but it is for the same reason as males yes...

marking territory, out of anger, domination, or if she panics

etc..

though its more common in males its fairly common in females too

neutering can help tone it down or even stop it completely it depends on each rabbits

Thanks
Always was intending to get her neutered anyway cos of cancer etc but just hoping it stops the spraying!!
Shes also un-litter trained herself recently which is annoying!!

It looks like your doe has reached puberty! Spaying her should help all the issues you described.
