You are breeding too many times for no benefit and wearing out your buck. Rabbits are induced ovulators, so if she is mated she will ovulate. That's enough to have a good sized litter. Some people feel that it is a good idea to breed again 8-12 hours later IF she is still in heat just to make sure she took, but it doesn't usually mean you get a bigger litter. And breeding the buck like this can reduce his fertility if you do it often. It's more important that you breed only when she is in heat and make sure that everything else is good, like they are being fed well, they have enough daylight hours (14-16 hours) and they are mature enough to have good healthy litters.
