...causing my rabbit any stress? When I tried my puppy went crazy! I had him on the lead of course so he couldn't get to her, but my rabbit was clearly scared, so I put her in her cage to calm her down. I tried repeating and the same thing happened again? I know he just wants to play, but he charges at her causing her to growl and charge at him! How do I keep them both in the same room and keep them both calm?...

You don't.
Wrong breed to believe should be friends with a rabbit.
Not fair to do this to the poor rabbit either.
Keep the rabbit safe and don't excite the puppy with more contact, or you'll only increase his interest in the rabbit. Tell him to "leave it" anytime he gets near the rabbit or cage to discourage interest, which is natural.
Good luck.
