Answers:
In the wild, the dog is a natural predator of the rabbit. No matter how long we domesticate animals, they still retain their instincts. Your rabbit probably recognizes the dog as a potential threat to his safety. First, don't ever leave them alone. Any time they spend interacting should be supervised, no matter how well you think they get along. Second, let them spend time near each other while one is caged. They will be curious and sniff at each other through the wire. This will allow them to become familiar with each. You might just have to accept the fact that they will never safely interact, but it's worth a try!
get a pet therapist for the rabbit
Put the fight on youtube.
I would totally bet on the rabbit.
your bunny is just jellus and he dousnt like it when you give your chihuahua. i dont know how to make them to get along but i do know how to make your bunny stop bitting you. He smells the other animal on you be sure to wash yout hands and change your clothes befor going to your rabbit. theis will make him stop that prob.
its simple your bunny was there first, it might take some time for momo to get used to wishbone, i have a lop eared rabbit who chases my cat around maybe they are just playing who knows!
You rabbit is jealous and has lost trust in you. You put your rabbit in an environment that didn't make him happy. I would suggest getting a pair of gloves that your rabbit can not bite through and hold your rabbit 3 times a day until he has learned to trust you again. If these two animals do not get along then do not put them together. Rabbits are very territorial and do not want other animals in their home. Good luck.
