How To Convince Parents to buy you a Hamster?

Question

I am 12 years old How do i convince them to buy me the hamster!

ask them to agree to go shopping for one. Before they do go shopping tell them you'll take good care of it and it will be totally your responsibility to care for it, and make sure it stays in it's cage.

Answer 2

well your kinda on your own cuz I'm 13 and trying to convince my parents to let me get a 2nd hamster, lol. You AND me both need advice, lol. But you should do more chores, show them your responsible, research A LOT about them, show them how cute they are, and keep bringing the subject up. GOOD LUCK

Answer 3

Well, what i did to get my parents to buy me a puppy is say that you are lonely and if you have never had a pet before, say that all the other kids at school are always talking about there pets and you feel left out. And also right out a contract saying that you promise to look after it and that the will always clean it up, belive me it works!!!

Answer 4

Well for starters, how about trying the following:

#1 Cleaning your room and making sure that it STAYS clean and tidy.

#2 Making sure that your homework is done and handed in on time.

#3 Sweep the floors in the living room and kitchen without your parents asking you to.

#4 Wash and/or dry the dishes.

#5 Do not fight and argue with your sisters & brothers.

#6 Eat what you are given and don't whine or make "yuck" faces when given it.

#7 Don't talk rudly to adults

#8 Always share with other kids.

#9 Go to bed when you are told to.

#10 Research the pet and breed you want to be 100% certain that it is the right one for you.

# 11 Ask them about getting this new pet in a nice way and don't beg and whine about it.

If 100% sure that if you give those a try, they will see that you are serious about wanting to add a this pet to your life and family. :)

Answer 6

Type out a list of reasons titled "Why I Should Get A Hamster"

List these reasons:

-I will ALWAYS take care of it even if I don't want to

-You wont even notice the hamster because it will live happily in my room

- I've always wanted a furry pet of my very own, and now is the time!

-Hamsters are VERY cheap! It can cost as little as $40 and I will help pay :)

-Hamsters don't stink because the p**p in pellets and are constantly grooming themselves

As you can see, there is no reason for me not to have hamster

FUN HAMSTER FACTS!! (to show them you've done your research)

-----------------------------------

Hamsters have no bellybuttons

They have 4 toes in front and 5 toes in back

Their teeth never stop growing (which is why I will keep wood blocks in its cage to ensure healthy teeth)

A hamster can run up to 8 miles on their wheel a night

Once a hamster is pregnant, they only stay that way for 16 days and can have up to 20 babies

They can only see 6 inches ahead of them which is why their sense of hearing and smelling is so good

They can hold up to 18 grams of food in each cheek pouch

This should help to show them that you're ready to have a hamster and know lots about them :)

Here are some cheap cages/starter kits to show your parents how inexpensive hamsters can be:

Answer 7

I am trying to get my parents to let me have a hamster too. I haven't succeeded yet but I will tell u what I am doing. 1.  I cleaned my room. 2. I did research & took notes. 3. I wrote an essay about hamsters. 4. I did a vote with adults only asking if they thought hamsters r good pets for kids. So I guess u can try all of that stuff I have really strict parents that it's almost impossible to change their mind about something & thats y I have to do so much work but most parents would have said yes after doing all of that just to get a hamster. I hope u try 1 of these ideas & i also hope this helps u even if it doesn't help me.
