Answer
hello maria

firstly you done the right thing in seperating them.they could have really hurt each other if you didnt.

Sometimes breeding rabbits can take some time,and they may take a while getting used to eachother. Just keep trying and they soon will get along, But never leave them unattended as you will need to be there if they start to fight again.

Please take note; when puting them together make sure that they are both in a new environment such as a run because putting them into each others cage will definatly make them fight more.

hope this helps
