The rates at which the mass and angular momentum of a small black hole change as a result of a tidal interaction with a much larger black hole are calculated to leading order in the small mass ratio. The small black hole is either rotating or nonrotating, and it moves on a circular orbit in the equatorial plane of the large Kerr black hole. The orbits are fully relativistic, and the rates are computed to all orders in the orbital velocity V <= V-isco, which is limited only by the size of the innermost stable circular orbit. We show that as V -> V-isco, the rates take on a limiting value that depends only on V-isco and not on the spin parameter of the large black hole.
