Am i allergic to hamsters?

How do I convince my parents to let me have hamsters?

  • I really want to get to female Roborovskii Hamsters but my parents won't let me. A few months ago my hamster died and my parents promised they'd get me another one but they haven't and I really want two. I'm fifteen and I have a dog but he loved my hamsters (I've had 7 of all different breeds) in the past and was very gentle. My parents keep telling me that I need to get my grades up (we have 3 weeks left of school) and that I don't take care of my dog (I get up at 5:30 for school and feed him, walk him when i get home, feed him before bed and bathe him). My mom loved the ones we had before and cried when they died and when I showed her a picture of the hamsters I wanted she smiled and seemed really happy. When she was a kid she had 20...YES 20 hamsters. I already have all of the supplies (enough to last me 3 months) left from my other hamster so all that needs paying for is the hamsters themselves. I would be willing to pay for all additional supplies. How do I get them to let me have two hamsters?

  • Answer:

    Well that's simple just work really hard at school and ask for extra credit to get your grade up (IDK about your parents but one time I did that and my grade went from a 89% 'B' to a 90% 'A' and my mom was totally amazed because of the 'huge improvement') and try to take care of your dog at times when your parents can really see it and make a big fuss over him, then in 3 weeks you will probably get your hamsters also if you remind them that they promised that might sway them.Also how long ago did your other hamster die because parents have a different way of getting over things than kids, it usually takes them a long time to recover even from something small like a hamster but kids not so much. Also was your old hamster a robo because the supplies are a little different for robos because they're so small (for example the cage bar spacing needs to be smaller) and their diets may be different. Well anyways best of luck with your robo hammies!

explain how you do take care of your dog (without seeming like you have an attitude obviously) and remind them that they promised to get you a new hamster. if they still try to go back on their promise you could always point out that they're setting a bad example by not keeping their word. plus you could show you're making an effort with your grades (especially since its only a few weeks)

Offer to pay for the hamster yourself or you'll pay them back.
