  You need to keep Bubs and the new rabbit completely separated. They will have to take turns coming out to play. Bubs is reacting to the hormones of the new rabbit. You are likely to have fighting and injuries if you let them be together at all. When the new rabbit has been neutered, and at least a month has passed for his hormones to abate, then you can start the proper bonding sessions.
  
  Here are 2 good articles on bonding:
