i dont want ANYTHING else other than a set of ferrets. i found someone online who is willing to sell me a pair of descented and spayed females w/ 2 large cages, 15 beds, water bottle, water bowl, food bowl, food, bedding, and a ferret run-about ball for only ONE HUNDRED BUCKS!!! that would be super expensive to buy new! the ferrets are only about 2 years old and she raised them herself!!! how can i convince my parents to let me get them? i get about $28 a month from doing chores. would i be able to take care of them with that amount of money? i think so because the bedding would only cost $14.04 w/ tax and the food would be $12.96. add that together and you get exactly $27.00. I would have an extra $1!!!! my mom doesnt want any ferrets beacuse she thinks they stink. but they are DESCENTED!!!!! they've had their shots and everything, too! my dad just doesnt want more pets in the house. we only have one dog, a few fish, and three cats!!! when i had two gerbils, they were tking care of them themselves; they bought all the food and bedding and cleaned the cage since i was little. they also had to take care of 2 dogs, a fish, three cats, and three kids!!! so i dont see why they keep saying no!!! can you help? maybe if you have ever wanted a ferret and you've made a powerpoint or keynote you could send it to me? id be forever grateful! im turning 13 and i do lots of stuff around the house, like: putting the dishes away, cleaning the whole house, feeding the cats, letting the dog outside, feeding the fish, sweeping, making dinner, and stopping my sibling's arguements. and they dont think im responsible!!! what can i do? my birthday is in 19 days!!!! help!!! thx in advance!!|||Perhaps you could ask the lady you would be getting them from if she would call or email them and talk to them about the ferrets, getting her to tell them that she can't find anybody else to take them but she can't have them anymore, they might decide that it would be best for the ferrets, since ferrets in shelters hardly ever get rehomed because they are such a high mainenance pet, and people only think of cats and dogs when they think about shelters.
Take really good care of the dog and cats (the fish too if yuo want but theres not much you can do for them lol!)
Because to be honest, that is alot of pets, ONLY one dog? I'd kill for one, THREE cats? Id kill for ONE!
You have to consider vet bills too, if the ferrets get sick then it will be very expensive to treat them, and you can't provide sufficient medical care fo them with a dollar!
You could try to earn a bit more money, because as you get older you will go out more, and they might be afraid they would get stuck paying for the ferrets because you spent all your money going out (seriously, $1 won't last you a month when you get into your teens!)
Show them that you won't just make them pay for the ferrets like they did/do the gerbils, fish, dog, cat 1, cat 2, and cat 3.
Clean up after your current pets, don;t complain about ANYTHING, get good grades, do homework, and be persistant but don't beg! Dont ask them like every hour, limit it to asking once a day at the most, else they will just get more and more worked up about it.
You have to explain to them how the other pets will react to ferrets, and what you would do if they don't get along.
Good luck!
Happy birthday if I don't talk to you by then =]|||tell them that you will keep them in your room. And prove you can take care of them.also, your gonna need to constantly feed them so show your parants you have the money to feed them and keep them alive.|||show that you are responsible and that u can take care of the ferrets. help around the house clean up stuff your parents didn't ask you to do thats how i got me new phone|||wow that's so funny kinda like my question i just posted!! well i have the same situation i have been wanting 2 pet rats forever and my mom said if i get A's in all my classes I can get them! thats really hard but im willing to make it happen!So look at your grades not responcibility if they dont look at that then look at your grades or school show them that you deserve it not that you should earn it maybe they feel that a child should always should responcible so look at school that always works. It just did for me! do u have your own room? I dont i sleep with my mom! but thats whhy she is afraid of the rats... but if u have your own room then clean make a space for the cage in your room and have a mature talk about them to your parents if that doesnt work then say "I work alot and I know I deserve them i do alot of chores and get my own money so why should i not be able to make me happy?" then see what they say if it doesnt work then reply back to me what they said dont worry i know how it feels when you want something really bad and you cant get it.|||Hello, i convinced my mum and dad to let me get a guinea pig with my birthday cash. I told them all the great things about the animal and that i promised that i would look after them and pay for everything. They came to a decision and agreed. It worked for me !|||No means no, sorry. If you can't get them to say yes just by asking, we aren't going to do much good (we're total strangers, you know.) Time to act mature,a s you claim to be, and accept that they don't want any more animals in the home.
1) $28 a month may not cut it. Ferrets need changed weekly, sometimes more often. You're looking at maybe two bags of it a month - or more! Same with food - it goes fast with two of them!
2) Descented means nadda - their waste still stinks to high heavens.
3) Why should THEY risk getting YOU a pet THEY may end up caring for?
Sorry, their choice to make. Not yours. Ever think they may want you to SAVE your money for more IMPORTANT things? Like, a car? College? Ask them again when you have a part time job and have proven yourself a bit more....
