Lora, There is a reason why the suggest adopting 2. If you adopt 2 at the same time they will in most likelihood be bonded. If you have never had a rabbit before, let us inform you bonding is hard to do and very stressful on all buns and humans a like.
Bunnies are very socialable, and truly do so much better with a bunny friend.
If you have no other pets, then my suggestion would be to adopt 2 instead of just one. Sprowt, Onyx, Bean, Acorn, Lil Big Foot, Lil Licky, Lil Biter, Thorton, Tabitha and now Gemmy.
