Answer 1

Not that I know of.

Most pet stores won't sell them to people under 18.

Perhaps a local store will, but I don't know of any chain stores that would sell to you.

EDIT: I'm in the US, so I don't know if Scotland has the same laws regarding sale of animals as we do.

Answer 2

well it depends on where you live.

where do you live???????

Answer 3

Pets at home don't sell to anyone under 16, Just go with a parent, I know I'd be mad if a petshop sold a pet to one of my kids!

I would sugest Gerbils (at least 2) as they are friendlier than hamsters and you will probably find it easier to convice your parents than a rat or mouse.

Answer 4

you could try pets at home. i bought my 2 rats from there when i was 17, im 18 now.  

Answer 5

My cousin she bought a fish at pet land and she was 12 so myabe at petland

Answer 6

Well the pet barn....... ummmm the pet barn  

Answer 7

How about pets at home?

get a rat a lot better.

Answer 8

Um, you probably should go with a parent. Do you think you can hide a hamster from them? Not really that easy.

And I believe most pet stores have a set age, like 17-18 to buy a rodent.

My suggestion, ask you parents.

Answer 9

Um all i know is that at Petsmart and Petco you have to be 18 in order to purchase a live animal.
