How a 12 year old girl get money quickly to get a rat?

Answer 1

i got my first rat when i was 11 but my dad got one too we split on the cage and everything but how i earned money was asking my parents to do work around the house for them and doing yard work for my grandma

good luck with your rattie

Answer 2

your awesome! lol I love it when people my age like rats, my friends are like ew gross.

but seriously I have had two they are to sweetest, most loving rodents. I love them

but be prepared most rats get tumors and you have to put them to sleep. all my rats got tumors... :[

you need to constently check them for bumps, cause its very painful for them. I ask the petco girl and she said tumors are very common for rats. unfortunetly.

so give them the best, happiest years you can cause they dont live very long.

oh now to answer your question lol

I earned lots of money walking dogs with my friend

Answer 3

There's lots of things you can do, just be creative.

~Start doing a paper route. You can make about $100-$200 a month on that.

~The obvious - babysitting. Try sticking flyers in the doors of houses in and around your neighborhood. When I tried this, I got tons more customers.

~Pet jobs. Pet-sitting, Dog walking, cleaning cages and fish tanks, washing and grooming, etc.

~Roadside sales. Try setting up a lemonade stand, snowconge stand, etc. Once again, get creative. Usually you can't do these in the winter though. It's more of a summer thing.

~Once again, more of a summer thing, but washing cars, bikes, scooters, mopeds, skateboards, pets, etc. can bring in a lot of moola.

~Try doing extra chores around the house, and if you don't already have one, make a pay-plan with your parents. For every chore you do, you get a certain amount of money (ex: 25 cents for emptying the dishwasher). Make a chart to mark down when and what chores you do, so at the end of the week it will be easier to collect your money.

~Ask your friends if one of their parents owns a small restaurant or something, and maybe the two of you could start helping out around the shop after school for a couple of hours. I you get $5/hr. and help for 2 hrs. after school every day, plus 4 hours on Sat., that's $70 a week, and that would be about $280 a month. You could also ask a family member who owns s buisness if you could help there too.

~Doing lawn services. Not only mowing lawns, but also weeding gardens, watering flowers and plants, etc. Maybe even plant-sitting when people are on long-ish vacations.

~Offer to clean a family members house for $20-$30.

~Have a garage sale, and have it be a thing for the whole family, not just yourself. Then anything that you sell that is yours, you get to keep the money off of.

~Sell stuff on eBay.

~Make bracelets and necklaces. It's very simple. Just go buy some elastic cor and glass beads (this way they won't be cheap). Then simply just make them. You can also find some books on how to make different styles. I sold mine for $5 when I made them. It adds up quickly. Just sell them to family and friends, and maybe even offer to make them for people at school.

~See if you can become a life guard at a local pool.

~Try helping out the elderly. If there are some older people in your neighborhood (or old relatives, like grandmas) offer to do some lawn work, buy some groceries for them, shovel their sidewalk, etc.

~Shovel driveways

~This isn't the greatest idea, but ask your mom if you can participate in online surveys and such. They can offer up to $50 a survey I hear.

~See if there's anything you can do around your church to help out.

~Offer to clean your neighbors windows, and other odd jobs.

~See if your local nursing home would pay you for helping out. I know some do for playing games with them, helping them eat, reading to them, etc.

~Recycle cans. My brother and I used to do it. They would pay us 25 cents a pound for uncrushed and 30 cents a pound for crushed cans.

~Any type of craft you can make and sell would be great. For ex: greeting cards, hair accesories, mittens, fleece tie blankets and pillows, etc. Be creative.

~You aren't old enough yet, but when you're older and you need some cash, donate blood and plasma.

~You can get a job at Cold Stone Creamery (and lots of other places too, like grocery stores) when you're 14.

~Become a referee for your town's local soccer league. My brother does that (he's 14, but I think you can start at 13) and he makes between $10-$35 per game, depending on how old the players are and how long the games are.

Whew! Here's a bunch of ideas. I hope this helps, and good luck!

Oh, also, look at these and see if parents will let you join one of these:

Answer 4

YOU ALREADY MADE THIS. NO NEED TO DO IT THREE TIMES. PEOPLE ARE STILL GIVING YOU ADVICE THERE. SPAMMING IS BAD, DEAR.

***

Do jobs.

NOT for your parents, because then they're just paying for it.

But you will need to ask them for help because you'll need more than one rat, and a good sized cage on top of that.

But you could wash cars, walk dogs, maybe babysit for family friends...

Answer 5

mow the yard

Answer 6

Having rats can become quite expensive & the majority of them will need vet care at some point.

$16 for two rats (my rats were $8 each from a breeder)

$115 for their cage

$15 for Yesterday's News litter every 5 months or less.

$50+ for cage accessories (Igloo, litter box, toys, water bottle, food dishes, etc...)

$6 a month for mazuri lab blocks

$25 every few months for the ingredients for the suebee's rat diet

I'm sure I've forgotten something, but it's not cheap. Get a hamster until you can afford more!
