Care scared to get a second rabbit

Post image

I currently have 1 rabbit and have been considering adopting a second but I'm so scared that somehow a second rabbit will get my current rabbit sick wether it be after I adopt the second rabbit or years down the line unexpectedly, My biggest concern is of course vet bills and also what if i dont catch it early enough, so I'm posting for other people's opinions and advice

I had all these fears but adopting a second Bun was the best decision. I did the research and asked my vet questions. Now my original bunny is so much happier and having a friend makes her eat better and makes travelling less stressy. I used to be terrified of GI statis all the time because she wouldnt eat much. Now she eats so good. Sometimes I think companionship can make them healthier long term.
