I have another pet in the house such as a dog or cat. How will this affect my new rabbit, guinea pig, chinchilla or prairie dog?
Introduce your pet to your other pets and family members slowly. These other pets and terrify for your new pet. Keep them separated until you feel they can get along. They may or may not be able to cohabitate. It depends on the temperament of your new pet. Remember to care for the feelings of him as he is in a new environment and everything is scary for him. It is important to handle him often to make a warm and loving pet. The more you love and handle your pet, the tamer, calmer and gentler it will become. Remember to feed and water your pet daily.
