How do you get your parents to buy you a chinchilla?
If you think they can afford to buy it and you live in a place that is big enough for a horse - you need to find advertisements for ponys for sale. Call places and find out how much it costs to feed it. Find out about vaccinations or any medical stuff the horse might need. Get lots of details.
Then, you have to promise to take care of it. Tell your parents that you will keep the manure shoveled up and you'll feed & water it - and they won't have to do anything. Having a horse of any size requires a lot of work. You have to make your parents believe that you will be responsible for it.
If you have other responsibilties (i.e. other pets, instruments, cleaning your room) it is always good to show that you can do all of what you have to do now, and still have plenty of time for caring for a pony

This is a very hard answer because generally hamsters aresolitary animals. When you put two females together they tend to be aggressive to one another. So they fight for attention.

I know you are probably thinking well i see them in pet stores together, but the truth is they love to be together when they are babies then they turn into independent animals. But things may change with each hamsters personality.
