How can i convince my parents to let me get a hamster?

  • I really really really want a syrian hamster, we have never kept any kind of hamster before, but i have done LOADS of research and now know loads about hamsters but my parents wont ...show more

  • Answer:

    If you don't already, start taking all responsibility for the pets you have now, give lots of attention to your cats & guinea pigs, feed them & clean your guinea pigs out once or twice a week, proving you're responsible will go a lot further than saying it. Also save your money up so you have at least enough for the set up, to give you an idea I got a hamster on Thursday, the cage cost me £30 (which was one of the cheapest) the hamster itself cost me £8.50 and the other little extras (food, bedding etc.) cost around £10 so you will obviously need over a month to get enough money (although I got everything of mine from Pets at Home, small pet shops will more than likely be cheaper.) And lastly keep talking about hamsters & show you really do know lots about them! Good luck!

If you have pocket money, save first before you get one. Go search how much it costs for food, bedding, cage and the hamster itself. That way you will have idea how much you should save then tell them you are ready for the hamster. Keep your room clean all the time as you will need to if you want the hamster in your room. DO chores in the house. Good luck i hope i helped

Show thwem what you know. Tell them everything you need for a hamster and how much it will cost and show them that you do know this. Make sure you tell them you will pay for EVERYTHING and maybe show them a list of what you need and how much it costs so that they know you know that you can pay for it. Check out my website- its got tons of stuff that you need for hamsters on it. rodents-rock.weebly.com. Good Luck!

JUST EDITED TO FIT YOUR NEEDS Though the little guys can grow only to 1/3 the size of a guinea pig, they are really friendly and there is no need to worry, with the right cage they can't get out. But if your parents just want a bigger pet, I don't really know. Ask them why they have a problem. Your parents might be afraid you will not take care of it. Mine did. You have plenty of opportunity to prove yourself. Strike a deal with your parents. I started with only a cat, which wasn't much of a help, to prove myself. A wild mouse came into my cat's food box over and over (box- to keep all the food) We eventually kept it. But, you can just help with your pets. You will clean up AND feed all the pets for a month, as the deal. And to show them your really responsible, do your chores, don't fight with anyone, and get good grades. Calculate the price of everything, and show your parent at the end that you have been very responsible and good. Show them you have the money. Appeal to them, and their love of pets. They have to love pets with 6 running around. Plus, get excited, talk to them normally them slip hints in like, 'oh, ____ is what hamsters like.' But not too much, it gets really annoying Also this might be cool to check out: http://www.wix.com/hamster_info/all-about-hamsters

Just show you care, do all your chores and extra, be nice to your brother. Make sure the pets you have now are very well cared for. For sure, your parents will notice!
