How do i convince my parents to let me buy a hamster?

Answer 1

Depends on what kind of parents you have. If it were me who wanted a hamster, I would convince my parents by telling them how it will help or make me feel better. If it won't help you and you want it just for the sake of having it, then you have to have some really nice parents or the best puppy dog pout in the world to convince them.you could also (if you like drawing) get a jornal and draw pics of hamsters and make your parents curious and when they ask about it you can say this is my dream journal but i know my dreams are never gonna come true so why bother dreaming? they will probably feel sympathetic and let you get a pet hamster

Answer 2

1. Hermit Crabs suck - they will die in a a week, pinch you about 17 times everytime you pick them up, they smell really really bad and they are a boring pet.

2. Get a fish instead - Beta fish are more exciting than a hermit crab

3. If your heart is really set on a hermit crab, just go out and buy one. Tell your parents you can't return it and it isn't nice to kill animals. Also inform them that it will only live for about a week or two anyway.

4. Have your favorite aunt sue buy you one for your next birthday

Answer 3

Its best to just research the hamster, find the total cost, and then when you know as much as you can about hamsters put it all on a piece of paper (lined paper is reccommended) and then bring it to the dinner table and show to your parents. If they say no, every few days bring the subject back up. Ask them to tell you all their reasons for their opinion. Then find a great solution for every one of them. Hope I helped! ~Hamster owner

Answer 4

i just convinced my parents to get me another hermit crab and this is what i told them i told them that hermit crabs can get depressed if they don't have another friend to talk to if your parents want to see where you learned this tell them you saw it on a website that's what i did but i cant remember what website it is now im going tO get another crab tomorrow!

Answer 5

Study hamsters and everything you need to know about them. Write down neat notes and hang them around your room. Decide which cages are good and which are bad. Tell your parents occasionally you'd love a hamster - but don't nag them. Set up a fake hamster cage with a plastic box that is the right size. Wash it as much as you need to wash a hamster cage. Pretend to change its food bowl and water as often as you need it. Then, your parents may consider it.

Why I should get, a Guinea Pig.

From that one day I started Nursery, the school kept a pet Guinea Pig,

It was cute, cuddly, and it never, ever, bit anyone, we rarely ever had

do feed it or take it out for a run around. From then, it has become a

goal of mine, to get a pet that will be so loving, that i would never

forget about it. I know I've said this before, and I know you (as always)

don't really listen to what I say about these things, and i Just wanted to

take out 5 minutes of your time to explain to you why I should get a Guinea Pig, Here are 7

reasons I wrote.

Because I feel lonely when I come home and I don't see you, and I have nothing to do

I want responsibility, something that can get me of the laptop for even 10minutes

I have never told you this for a reason, because you might laugh, but i always wanted to be a

vet, looking after animals, ESPECIALLY guinea pigs, is something i always wanted to do since nursery

IT would be nice to get a guinea pig, where as not much responsibility is necessary, unlike, dogs

or cats, or bunnies.

It doesn't take up any of my time or money! All I do is every morning before school, quickly

change the food bowls and water from the other night, money wise, All I have to do is by one

cage, one water bottle, and one play pen. And that will keep it for lots of years,

not like cats where you have to keep buying things for it.

Insurance is not needed for gerbils. They're not like cats or dogs, when they die, they die.

Because I want to see Jermaine (my brothers) reaction

I want 2 guinea pigs, but what would do is, get one, then like in a year or so get another

because when i leave them, they get lonely, they don't fight, they will be the same gender

YOU PROMISED ME FROM THE OTHER YEAR FOR A REAL PET, WELL HERE IS YOUR CHANCE, DAD AGREES AND OFFERS

TO PAY FOR ALL THINGS NECESSARY!

I really will never regret this decision, please, I'm begging from the bottom of my heart! please

let me have this one thing Ive grown up with in nursery. PLEASE!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All of these things are true! maybe you can get a paragraph from this! Hope I helped

Answer 6

You can tell them it's the easiest pet you can take care of cause you don't have to train it and it is the safest pet, because it is hypo-allergenic. It doesn't have any diseases or vireses like other animals and you don't have to buy high priced food for it. All you need to do is keep the sponge wet and food in an non-matalic dish. To bathe it, just put in a bowl of water at room tempeature once a week in summer and twice a week in winter.

Also, you must earn it. If you can't pick up your room or finish your homework, what makes you think your parents are going to trust you to feed an animal?

Answer 7

Keep dropping hints ;)

For example, "Oh, look at that hamster!- isn't it soo cute? I'd LOVE to have one as a pet."

If you come outright asking for one, make sure you tell them you'll take full responsibility for it. (Parents love that.)

:)

Answer 8

Well, show that you can take care of it. Hamsters are cute and cuddly, of course, but there are lots of responsibilities. Make sure you can change it's bedding once a week, and if your parents are really against hamsters, get a large box so you can put the hamster in, and make sure you don't let food spill out, so a plastic cage is good. Show your parents that you can get this, and do some research.

Answer 9

you think of how the hamster would benefit your parents as well not just you.
