Feeling anxious about a new pet
Hi, I just got a new pet, which I was sure I could handle- I've always wanted a ferret, and was confident in my knowledge and ability to afford one- But, now that he's here with me, I'm just full of anxiety? I feel like he's a disruption to my life (I have a dog, and two cats already and they aren't happy campers), and can't stop worrying about what if it doesn't get better and we're stuck together for the next 10 years.

Hello and congratulations on your new pet! I think what you're going through is pretty normal. Even though life with a new pet may seem like a small adjustment, it is still an adjustment the same. I think as time passes, it'll get easier and you'll grow a deeper love for your new pet which will help as well. In the meantime, it may help to to remember what exactly made you so exited to get this new pet, maybe the excitement can overpower any anxiety you feel.
Best of luck to you!
