How to persuade my dad?

Home More advice Pets & Animals

Well... you see I have a three year old, male bunny rabbit at the moment, he is healthy, I am very responsible, I clean him out, play with him, always make sure he is cared for, and he is happy... BUT... I really feel like he is missing out...]

Rabbits are very social animals, in the wild they never live alone, so.. I really feel like I am depriving my bunny at the moment, with no other bunny contact, and with the winter coming, it is much harder to come outside and spend time with him... So...

I really want to rescue another rabbit. I have done my research. I know exactly how to bond them, housing etc., Introductions and everything. Also, if I rescue a rabbit, it will already be neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, there is a rabbit rehome centre nearby, and I would pay for the rabbit.

That way, I am giving a new bunny a permanant good home. My current bunny has a VERY good temperment, he has NEVER bitten anyone and is very friendly, he is just lonely.

I have thought a lot about this, we already have a double hutch, with two separate Compartments, as well as an indoor hutch, and a large outside run. So, we have all of the equipment I would need already...

I just need my Dad to say yes, I haven't asked him yet because I don't want to mess it up. By the way, I never get into trouble at school, I get good grades, and I always offer to do jobs around the house...

Please, just some advice on how to ask him?

Thanks!

PS. I know this question has been asked a million times... but please just some advice =]
