How do I convince my parents to let me get a chinchilla?

how do I make my mom and dad get me a chinchilla?

Answer #1

Don’t beg and cry for one because that will just show them that you are not responsible and you will only beg for smoething you want. Trust me I have had 20 pets in my lifetime! By the way will this be your first pet or have you had pets before? It helps to know!

Answer #2

u could prove you’re responsible. clean your room, if you have a pet pay attention 2 it, do your homework, do it without being asked. then when theyre in a good mood, ask then, tell them how responsible you r and you would feed it clean it play with it and all that stuff. tell them they dont have to answer right away let them think about it.

Answer #3

work out a system

PLEEASE I’LL DO ALL THE WORK AND I’LL FEED IT AND PLAY WITH IT

and also maybe they just dont have the money… GET A JOB or just raise money :) I might be absoloutely no help, my parents let me have pets.

Answer #4

Maybe you should ask them what you could do to get a chinchilla. Be realistic, like if I make all A’s next semester, etc.

Answer #9

well I was having the same problem but what I did was research on them and I tried to impress her. she asked me like 50 questions and I knew them all. she did get impressed but then she thought I wouldnt take care of it so I did a lot of chores, dropping hints that I rea;;y wanted one, and saved up my money. I pretened to cry every night to where she got very annoyed. finally she said I could get one so I will be getting one very soon now! :D

Answer #10

Chinchillas are really hard work! ever have a bunny? Thats exactly what they are. BUt if your looking for a cuddly and fun-to-watch pet, I suggest the gerbil! they poop two times less than a chinchilla, dont smell far as bad, dont eat or drink as much, you only need to clean their cage once in two weeks ( for the chinchilla, probably 2 times a week) And they are fun to watch, and VERY social animals. plus, they dont like to bite! ITS A great package in a pet!

Answer #11

I really, really want a chinchilla too! I have made a booklet about them and washed the dishes for weeks I have even got my friend to email my mum saying how much I want one! But she keeps saying oh its just a phase and that she’ll end up having to look after it! What eltse can I do? Please Help!!
