I have wantes a gerbil forever, but my parents have always said no. I said that I would take care of it completely. When i was like 8 i ahd hamsters and they all died really quickly and they always bit. i did all my research on gerbils and they are very different, so i told that to my parents and that was taken care of. Then they said that im not responsible enough and i told them that i could prove it, so i ahve to take care of my other two pets for a month and do whatever they say. But i slipped up once so now they say i cant get one at all, and they took my phone away. I have done so much research and now all i need help with is convincing them, please help!

  2. It took me a while

    Always be nice, Expecially to dads :D

    And i know what you mean by proving it.

    Act like you know everything about gerbills.

    Tell them what you have read, Like everyday but dont stress them out. tell them you would love one so so so much!

    they will finally let you.

    Make sure you dont get bored of it!

  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. :)
