Whats the best way to convice my parents to let me get a bunny?

Question

I really want a bunny but my parents wont let me, how can i convice them into letting me get a bunny

Answer 1

Haha..

Bunnies are very good pets.

All you have to do.. is take very good care and let your parents know you are responsible and you can handle "pressure"

Actually, it really isn't that hard. Only if you get a small cage.

But if you do, you need to let it excercise.. A LOT.

One thing is, don't leave them in your room, leave it in the living or someplace that you don't mind smelling. If you take REAL good care of them, it won't smell, because there pee tends to smell very.. strong.

Answer 2

say you will keep it in your room only and you will buy food and whatever else and only you will have to take care of it

Answer 3

Whatever you do, don't get a rabbit unless your parents are fully willing & committed to helping you deal with costs & vet care you may not be able to afford. Show them websites that show how to care for rabbits, and make sure they ARE aware of what they are getting themselves into. Also show them pictures & peoples good experiences with rabbits, so they do know rabbits make great pets and aren't all work. Also show them you are responsible enough by doing extra chores or earning your own money for the initial cost of the rabbit.

Answer 4

Well, I would suggest getting a Holland Lop-eared Rabbit. They are a small rabbit breed (usually 2-4 pounds when full grown) and are very easy to take care of. They don't have to go to the vet regularly and as long as you feed them ONCE a day and clean their cages ONCE A WEEK or everyday if you need to, then it should be fine. If you have anymore questions, e-mail me. I have six rabbits right now, 3 are holland lops.

Answer 5

choose your words and reasons carefully. i couldnt tell you because i dont know your parents. think about how they receive the message and decide the best ways to approach them with it. make sure you keep straight until you ask them (be good). and if you can, buy it with your own money

Answer 6

It probably depends how old you are.  Bunnies are a huge responsibilty, feeding them, cleaning them, giving them lot's of attention.  I think bunnies are a bigger responsibility than a dog.  Your parents may not be ready for it either though.  If you really think you're responsible enough, show them how responsible you are, show them you have maturity.  If they say no, don't break down and cry.  Accept their answer and they may be surprised by how well you took it and change their minds.  Don't push them though, they definatly won't say yes if you push them over the limit.

Answer 7

I agree with Sam.  I actually did that once and by the time my parents knew we had a bunny, their hearts had already grown attached to it.  It's been about 6 months now....and my parents have never looked back.

Answer 8

do lots and lots of research. it's how in convinced my parents to let me get my dog, which we now all love as a member of the family.

if your parents see that you really looked into what it takes to keep a rabbit, they will  be more likely to let you get one. i mean, a rabbit is a h**l of a lot of work (i have one)

you have to clip its nails (it's worse than doing a cat, i have one of those, too.)

you have to brush it

not to mention getting it outside, at least 5x a week. and hutches are not cheap, my friend.

oops i g2g.

Answer 9

CLEAN YOUR HOUSE EVERY DAY SAVE UP YOUR MONEY TO GET ONE CLEAN YOUR ROOM.

Answer 10

If you don't do it well for the first week you can return it. You will take care of it (that is a lot of poo to clean up). You'll keep it company. Ask them why they don't want you to have one, could it be because it will make a mess inside. Well, for one, it doesn't have to be inside, it can be outside in a nice cage. When it gets to hot or cold outside it can go into the garage. Or better it can stay in your room. Hope you can convince them, I love bunnies.

Answer 11

Carefully use statistical evidence to persuade your parents that the purchase of a bunny is the best option, both mentally, and emotionally, as well as economically, for your personal growth and well-being.

Answer 12

Get one without telling them and when they want you to take it back so them how cute it is. Their hearts will melt=)
