We will be adopting an 8 month old mini-rex and a baby Californian. Should we just have them in two cages near eachother?
Any suggestions for helping them bond?

Hi there, welcome to the forum! 
I'm not sure if you should try to bond them. I think it would be okay as long as they're both female or a neutered male and female but it depends. If they don't get along they might fight. I recommend you get them neutered anyway as they are usually healthier and friendlier pets. There are a lot of bonding tips online and I think in the lagomorph library here? Others will be able to help more!

in the beginning have them next to each other so they can see and smell each other but not actually together

Agreed with above. It's really hard to tell how rabbits will get along before/after puberty. It's best to wait until hormones aren't a factor in behavior, ie after spaying them, to try bonding. It should be good to keep them next to each other so they get used to each others' smells.
