1. Make sure to introduce your new pet slowly and gradually, starting with short periods of time in each room of the house.
2. Allow them to explore at their own pace and provide lots of positive reinforcement when they do something right.
3. Provide plenty of toys and other items for them to chew on and interact with, as well as an area that is comfortable and safe.
4. Spend quality time with your new pet every day, talking softly and reassuring them that they are welcome in their new home.
5. Give them regular exercise and mental stimulation by playing interactive games or providing puzzles.
6. Monitor your pet's behavior closely for any signs of stress or anxiety, such as pacing, hiding, chewing, or excessive barking.
