Answers:
Number one: Quit begging and start DOING.
Number two: Be responsible. Not just for a week. For the rest of the time you live with your parents. I'm saying this as both a a (former) kid as well as a mom. Ten minutes of helping out around the house a few times a day has an unbelievable impact on what your parents think of you. Not to mention, you want to take care of another life... can you even take care of yourself?
Number three: Research and report. A nice fat report full of irrefutable information shows your initiative and care about getting a hammy. This can show your parents that a hamster isn't this week's fad, and that you're in it for the long run, or however long this hamster is going to live. Find out how they live, die, play, etc. Also check out vets in the area and get prices on checkups. In your research you'll probably come across health disorders that they may have/get. Ask about treatment prices for those as well.
I grew up pretty dirt poor, so when I asked my mom for a flute she said NO WAY. So I made a deal with her and did chores around the house EVERY DAY FOR MONTHS and I paid for the $1k flute half way. I got lucky when she saw how dedicated I was to practicing my music (again, MONTHS OF HARD HARD WORK) and she took over the payments. I went on to be first chair (aka best) through school and third chair in the SW part of the state. Hard work pays off.
keep asking her till she says yes :)
Leave the subject alone for a while and wait for her to get in a good mood, show her you have done reasearch on care of a hamster and then ask
Hard to read... buuuuttttttt Maybe you should tell her you're going to pay for it. That's what got my parents to let me get one.
parents tend to be against the idea of their children having pets as they tend to be the ones who end up taking care and cleaning and feeding the pet once the novelty has warn off. Their is also the cost of keeping a pet. Who will be paying for bedding, food, cage cleaning product, accessories for the cage and vet bills if your hamster gets sick?
Generally when parents say no, thats the end of discussion, but if you want to try and win mum round, sit down with her and ask her why she does not want you to have a hamster, and have a good answer in return. Explain you will not get bored and will take good care of your pet, say you will use your pocket money each week to supply bedding and food for it. But ultimatly if your mum is insistant that you cant have a hamster there is not alot you can do about it.
If you really want a hamster, continue asking her, unless she's afraid of rodents.
Hamsters cost about eight dollars. It depends on the breed.
I have a Winter White Siberian Dwarf Hamster. His name is Bean.
People say that Siberians tend to bite a lot, but mine is really gentle and playful. He hasn't bit me or anyone. All he does is sniff their fingers and lick it :)
If you don't want a Siberian, try a Syrian. They're very gentle.
I prefer male hamsters. Female hamsters aren't very playful
and quite lazy. They also became angry easily and could bite you.
Hamsters have sharp teeth, meaning that it will hurt.
Like a tiny needle stabbing into your finger. Yes, there will be a bit of blood.
