  I have two chihuahuas that are very agressive when it comes to other animals. So how should go about getting them used to each other?

  It sounds to me that you need to work with your chihuahuas…have you spoken to a dog trainer about their behavior because you cannot have them around your rabbit with this type of behavior and I imagine since there are 2 of them they would “gang” up on the rabbit.

  Unfortunately, you don’t. Your dogs are predators and animal aggressive while your rabbit is a prey animal. This is not a safe combination and I would keep them separated.
  
  If you want to eventually allow interaction you’ll need to work with your dogs until they are no longer animal aggressive. Even then they should only be together when closely supervised.

  I’m sorry but I completely agree with MD. It’s both unsafe for the rabbit and stressful in a permanent way. Please keep them separated and supervised at all times.

  Just in case it wasn’t clear enough, I thought I’d also toss in that this is a really, really, really, really, really, really bad idea. I wouldn’t even let my rabbit in the same room until the dogs were trained… and maybe not even then.

  REST ASSURED I HAVE NOT PUT THEM TOGETHER AT ALL. I figured I couldn’t put them in the same room together when the other day we took our dogs to the vet and their just so happened to be a bunny there. They tried to attack it. So i will not be putting them around each other.
