I really want a guinea pig but my mom said no, now what?

Question

She said she doesn't do rodents, and my friend offered me hers for free because she doesn't have time for it anymore. My mom said the novelty would wear off like the fish, but thats not true because you can't really cuddle fish. you just watch them swim around....I have to money to buy everything she'll need and the time to spend with her. What should i say to my mom, i don't want her to get mad at me, but i really want a guinea pig. I have researched them and i am very responsible. her only reason for not getting one is because its a rodent and it smells. she has never even had a guinea pig!

Answer 1

Show your mother your commitment by researching guinea pig care:

That's how I convinced my parents for my rats. Guinea pigs should be kept in same s*x pairs or groups, not alone.

Answer 2

idk i have been asking for a guinea pig since i was like 10 (im now 17) and i still am not allowed to get one. My mom doesnt like rodents either...they all remind her of rats...which i also dont mind my friend had a bunch and i thought they were cute. Idk good luck i hope you end up getting ur guinea pig, but usually when my mom says no it means no.
