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. :)

darksong.... is right if you convince her your ready for more responsibility... plus my friends had a ferret once and they kept it very tidy they bathed it every once in a while when the scent got too bad.... and I think they even trained it to use like a litter box/ newspaper... theyre very smart and fun and as far as how agressive they are I think its all in the handling / training if you make it agressive by being mean to it or something. Good luck and hope it works out. :)

By doing all the research you can into their care first. It'll show how committed you are plus you'll know how to care for them if you get them:

Edit: By the way, bathing a ferret frequently actually makes it smell /worse/ because the ferret's body goes into overdrive trying to replenish the lost oils. So don't overbathe them!

She has the final decision. Hope you don't live in California since they are illegal there.

Answer 5

Sorry about you pig. :(

But unfortunately, rules are rules. Could you not get another piggy? There are plenty you can adopt!
