How to convice my mom to let me get a hamster?

Question

Okay, my mom hates animals(espcailly rat relative) but i dont like big animals like dogs or cats. i tried being acting reponsible. I researched and everything and know alot about hamster FOR NEVER HAVING A HAMSTER!! I even been watch hamtaro...any suggestions?

Answer 1

tell her it's a pet without a soul that takes no effort to own.  and if you don't want to take care of it, it's okay because it's just a glorified rat!

Answer 2

Explain that its a low maintenence pet that you can take care of easily, researching it is very good, its shows you really want one! Just find out a few hamster facts and randomly say them to your mom every now and again, it will keep reminding her you want a hamster and how much you like them! You can also explain to her that they are a fairly cheap pet to keep aswell and they don't take up much room, it can live in your bedroom away from your mom =]

Answer 3

look up some reasons y to get one and try to purswade her to tell her its not like a rat at all and if u do get one i suggest a dwarf hamster a sweet one my rother had one and also a tip, dont mess with it too much it will get a thing called wet tail and it will die

Answer 4

hmm, i just got my mom convinced into letting me get my hamster like a month ago, and i new nothing bout thm i am slowly learning.

Does your mom know you know alot about them?

If so explain to her your schdule for cleaning it, what cage you want, where your going to keep it & maybe even help her around the house some more [:

wish you the best of luck

Answer 5

just tell her it's not that big of a deal to take care of it....

Answer 6

just tell your mom and dad that it will show them responsability thats what i told my mom because at first she wouldint let me becasue we already had two cats and i explained to my mom and dad that it will show them i can be responsable becasue i gusse takeing care of three animals is bad or whatever but i can take care of them just fine so go with the responsability thing becasue if you can show them responsabilty they might let you get one or maybe more i hope that helped

Answer 7

honey, in some cases you just have to wait until you have a job and move into your own place.  If your mom refuses to let you have a hamster but lets you have one in the end, she will most likely refuse the hamster vet care if he ever needs it.  Refusing any animal, including a hamster, vet care is neglect (which is considered animal cruelty).  So lets actually be responsible and not get a hamster for right now and wait until you can get a job, get your own place, and care for the hamster yourself.

Don't put an innocent hamster into the hands of someone who will not be willing to provide what the hamster needs.

Sounds like plan to me :3
