Introduce them to each other in a neutral space, that neither of them perceives to be their own territory.

Ideally, you should bring both rabbits back home at the same time.
How much play Time Does your Bunny need?
Most people do not give their rabbits enough time to run and play, but you can never give them too much. I suggest a minimum of 2-3 hours a day, but many rabbits are “free run” and never live in a cage or pen. It is very hard to do that because you must have perfect “bunny-proofing” of all areas they can reach.
