How do you get a ferret even if your mom doesn't like them?

Answer 1

First, get a bunch of pics of ferrets online and post em everywhere where the person youre trying to convince to get a ferret can see them. If that doesnt work, get a bunch of information and compare the amount of reasons not to and to get a ferret.

Good luck to you!

Answer 2

Well, that's difficult. I'm sorry if this isn't very helpful, but I suppose what you'll have to try and do is show her how ferrets are actually good pets.

I got the following reasons from About.com:

Ten reasons ferrets make good pets

• Ferrets are cute!
• Ferrets are very playful and curious - if you manage to get one, it may even be able to entertain your mum, if she gets used to it and sees that she was wrong about them!
• Ferrets are sociable, friendly and affectionate - a ferret can get on with a human as well as it can with another ferret.
• Ferrets are intelligent - some owners are amazed at how clever some ferrets become at solving problems.
• Ferrets are quiet - there will be no noise to annoy your mum! Also, ferrets sleep for most of the day anyway.
• Ferrets are small - this means that your mum can't get annoyed with it for taking up lots of room! Of course, it's better for a ferret to have as much room as possible, but even then, you can buy cages which still save space by going upwards and not outwards!
• Ferrets are easy to feed.
• Ferrets can be litter-trained - perhaps not as well as cats - there might still be a few accidents - but ferrets are pretty reliable in this way.
• Ferrets are easy to exercise - ferrets can get all the exercise they need running around your home, though of course you must block up any places where they could get out and get lost/injured. If you want, though, you can buy a special harness and take your ferret for walks like you'd do with a dog! I'm sure your mum wouldn't mind, and it's quite eye-catching!
• Ferrets have distinct personalities - just like humans, every ferret is unique and has its own personality. This just makes them even more interesting, and if you tell your mum this, it could even make her slightly interested as well!

I'm sorry if it doesn't work out - I hope you do manage to get a ferret; they are very interesting pets.

GOOD LUCK! :D
