How can i convince my mom to let me get hermit crabs?

Question

I want to get some hermit crabs and my mom wont let me,I need some ways to convince her into letting me get some.

Answer 1

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.

I’m 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 2

Be nice to them, but dont let them see that its obvious your kissing up ( xD ). Look up facts about them, and tell them the facts at times when their not busy, like in the car. Hang posters of hermit crabs all around your room.

Tell them the truth. How easy they are to care for, and how their low-matinence. Mention how cheap they are (the hermit crabs xD) , and how long you're gonna keep them and love them. Tell them how long they can live up too ( 80 years! ).

They dont smell bad, they eat almost anything. ( e.g., lettuce, mealworm, shrimp, peanut butter, steak, lobster, carrot, non-buttered popcorn, nuts, papaya, banana, coconut, corn chips, peach, apple, pear, tomato, crushed chicken bone, avacadoes, I could go on for hours! ). After about 2 days of bothering her, I'm sure she'll cave in. The babies are only 2.99! Good luck, tell her Megan wants her to buy one.
