The first way to stop your rabbit from fighting is to separate them. Never let rabbits fight! Even a small bite or tear in the skin can lead to serious infection and abscess.

Once the rabbits are safe, you can try to start socializing them and bonding them. If they tried to fight when they first met, that's a good sign the bonding process may be a long and difficult one. Some methods work better than others, so it's a good idea to do some research. There are many resources online that can help you, and you could also look in the public library for a book on rabbit care. See the related questions and links below for more help!

Unless both rabbit are spayed/neutered, the likelihood they can be housed together without breeding or fighting is very, very low. There are many good reasons to spay/neuter your rabbit! If you choose not to, however, your only option is probably to keep two unspayed females that were raised together from the same litter.

Rabbits compete in nature over food, space and mates. It takes time for rabbits to get used to each other.

Sometimes the rabbits fight because of different and unusual smells. You can try rubbing onion or garlic on their bottoms -- will take over the smell of the rabbit and the other rabbit will get used to the smell. If you don't want them to smell different put vanilla or Vicks Vapo Rub on their noses but this only works on fostering babies, I doubt it will work in grown rabbits as they SEE quite well.

What me and my family did, is we kept the rabbits in separate cages and about once a week or month, we put the rabbits together and let them fight for a little bit. To make them stop for a little bit at that moment, you can spray them with water and then we let them keep on fighting. Then we tried again the next week or month.
