  1. say: there not to much work you can play with them and there cute and fuzzy and adorible and your famly would regret not getting one becuase there so cute and fluffy and innotcebt and if you don't then they could end up living in a cage in some random store there whole life with no one to love them  


  2. Ok here are some good tips

    Hamsters are cute and they rarely bite

    Hamsters also are verry small so they cant get in the way

    And they are always in a cage so they cant beg for food or anything

      here are bad reasons

    They make alot of noise in there cages at night

    and they pee and p**p alot!

    And it cost alot of money to get there cage,food,water bottle,and sometimes the ball

  3. My best answer to help you is what I had to do.  My parents made me do research about the pets I wanted and then present my argument to them.  Picking up household responsibilities is a beginning with the household chores and other pet care. Show you are not just tired of the pets you have, there may be a concern of this and your parents are afraid they will end up having to care for the hamsters.  Express a willingness to pay for or help pay for the animals. Be willing to compromise.    Start with one hamster after they see you are doing well with one they are more inclined to allow a second one because it is lonely and you will already have cage.  Research on-line some of the pros and cons be ready for any debatable point if they are not willing to pitch in on cost see about finding extra ways to earn money.  Good luck to you.  Sometimes I get a yes and sometimes I get a resounding no.  I have two bunnies now.

  4.    Tell them that having hamsters would teach you responsibility for when you get older. Also you can tell them that you are sure to take good care for them and make sure everything is alright.

       You can also tell them that they look very cute and that they are soft. And would be adorable to have hamsters in your family.

      Also, I would show them that you have responsibility by doing chores around the house, cleaning your room, ect. You should also ask them if they need help with anything.

    Hope I helped!

  5. THEY'RE REALLY CUTE AND FUZZY

  6. say :

    i'll do the chores for the house for like, ages.

    that you'll care and feed them everyday for ages, so it won't even feel like it's they're to your family

    xx choose me as your best answer! xx

  7. i know it doesnt sound like fun, but show them that your responsible. pick up some extra chores around the house,(yawn, i know).ya know, like you said you have a dog, take it out every once in awhile, show them that your good with animals and can handle another one.good luck!!

  8. The FIRST thing you need to do is RESEARCH and learn about hamsters. For instance, you seem to want more than one hamster, but do you realize that most hamsters don't get along well as adults and may even kill each other unless you keep them in separate cages?? The first time they fight and the blood starts to fly, not only would it be a sad happening for you, but it would also totally convince your folks that hamsters were a BAD idea, and you won't get a second chance! So you need to be sure you really know a lot about the animal before you try to convince them to say yes to it.

    The NEXT thing you should do is to find out exactly what the animal needs (cage, toys, wood chews, etc.) and start saving your OWN money to buy it, or find ways to earn money for it. This is the NUMBER ONE thing that will help convince parents that you are ready to be responsible: that you want it enough to put out your own effort and be patient for as long as it takes to save that much money. Because if you're not willing to do that, then maybe you don't really want a hamster as much as you thought you did.

    Good luck!

  9. Show your parents that you are responsible.  Who feeds/ walks/ takes out the dog? Maybe you could start doing more with the dog to show your parents that you can be responsible with pets. Just keep asking them. Maybe make a deal. If you get good grades then you get hamsters... or if you do chores around the house... you'll get hamsters. Talk to your parents and think of other ways to get the hamsters without begging.

  10. well. i think rats are best cause they dont bite. but one time when i was 4 i had a hamster and my mom woke it up so it bit her and wouldnt let her go and she was flipping out while i was laughing. lolz but no worries. a lot arent like that. so be nice and just keep asking  

  11. Come up with a good strong list of benefits for smaller animals that make hamsters seem nicer than any other like:

    hamsters can travel so no kenneling necessary

    U don't need to clean up their p**p u just have to replace the bedding

    they eat less than a dog or cat

    they are good lap pets

    they're adorable

    they're easy to take care of and won't require worm meds or other pricey vet stuff

    Good luck with your mission!!

  12. Having a hamster is funny.They likes to put everything in their mouth haha! I have 3 hamsters. Caring of hamster isn't difflcult.Just feed it on time,keep its cage clean and play with it. They're cute and clean.They won't make any sound like mouse.Keeping a hamster isn't annoying.So hamster's a perfect pet.=P

    Hop you'll get one soon.

  13. i was the same way, but they decided i cud hav one so i wud learn responsibility, and if i kept it in my room, and after a while my mom and dad got used to him being there and they started to think he was actually cute! (which is really surprising for my parents) and i just kept the cage clean, and pitched in with the money for the cage/hamster/food/bedding but they might b kinda eww at first about the hamster but they wud just learn to ignore it or like it.....

  14. Actually, I would get pet rats - they are not as jumpy and don't bite like hamsters.  Really.  We have had several.  They are much smarter, too.  

    Start being REALLY responsible and helping around the house a lot and that will help convince your family that you are ready.  Begging and pleading just ticks parents off.


  15. BE GOOD, dont yell or complain when they say no.

    tell them that youll take care of it which includes feeding, and cleaning the cage!

    P.S. walk the dog, clean your room, do the dishes do some things to show them that you are responsable!
