When introducing a new pet to your existing pets, it's important to do so gradually and in a controlled manner. Here are some steps you can follow:

  1. Start by keeping the new pet in a separate room for a few days to allow all pets to get used to each other's scents.
  2. Swap bedding or toys between the new pet and existing pets to further familiarize them with each other's scents.
  3. Allow short supervised visits between the pets, gradually increasing the duration as they become more comfortable with each other.
  4. Watch for signs of aggression or stress, and separate the pets if necessary.
  5. Be patient and provide positive reinforcement for good behavior.

By following these steps and monitoring the interactions between your pets, you can help them adjust to each other and hopefully form a harmonious relationship over time.
