I need help convincing my mum to get me more gerbils?

Question

i am trying to convince my mum to getting me two more gerbils, i have made a presentation and i have all the money i need. they are all sisters but i asked my mum once and she said 'we have too many animals' then i asked 'if i had enough money would you let me get more gerbils' and she said 'yes' please help me convince my mum, what should i say? what should i include in it? what should i say to convince her?? please help

Answer 1

Say please, use proper grammer, May I not Can I, and tell her what they can do for you. OOH! here's a good one.

Tell her that taking care of gerbils teaches you responsibility and how to take care of another living organism.

She'll love that and if you still can't get it, there's something wrong with here (no offense)

Answer 2

Look at it this way and ask yourself [be honest] : Do I really need more gerbils? Animals are cute but they really are a big responsibility, especially rodents like gerbils, hamsters, and bunnies, whom if you don't clean their cages on a regular basis, they smell horrible! Not to mention vet bills. They can get pricey you and wouldn't be paying for it, your mom would. If you still want more rodents, be polite and remind your mother that you kept your end of the bargain, she should keep hers too.

Answer 3

i have three gerbils of my own,

i somewhat agree with ur mom if u get two more they will fight with the others. Gerbils are extreamly teritorial. If they are not related then u will have 2 seperate sets and u could never put them together- they would kill eachother.

If u still want them that bad just say u will be extra responsible and take on more chores to convince her u can handle more gerbils. Just make sure u pay attention to all of them.

Answer 4

Do a presentation on this:

Earn more then enough money to prove you are responsible.

Answer 5

well try saying they are good gerbils but are from a bad pet shop or where ever your getting them from and make her feel touched and that these gerbils need her help and that shes doing something great for them

Answer 6

How many Gerbils do you have already? Do you really NEED to have two more?? Think about it, having a pair of Gerbils is great. Not much cleaning to do, not so much food consumed etc. but getting two more? If they do not get along with your original Gerbils, this means you will have to go out and spend more money on another cage, toys etc.

If your mum doesn't want another pair of Gerbils, then respect her desicion. Enjoy the animals that you've already got.

Hope this helps
