Answer
Dear Glenn,

As you've discovered the hard way, it's not easy to bond rabbits.  But you can find lots of helpful tips and tricks here:

For now, separate them so the little one will not be hurt.  Rabbits can do some serious damage!

They will need a very large space to get to know each other before they are ready to be together, and both must be spayed/neutered for a lasting bond:

You can find a good rabbit vet here:

Hope that helps.
