Do YOU really want a hamster?
How old are you? By your question I'm assuming your a pre-teen
so, What is her reason for not wanting a hamster for you?
Maybe she thinks you will not be responsible enough to care for it. If this is the case then explain to her this will be a perfect way to show her that you are. Do some research on the internet on hamsters and show it to her. Maybe if she sees your exitement on the preparation of your little report on hamsters she will change her mind. Good Luck.

First you need to show her you are responsible. Do you keep your room neat? Volunteer to do the dishes without being asked? Hamsters are cute for awhile, then they get boring but you still need to take care of them, for about 2 years. Keep asking and showing how much you want one. She might relent.

I had to do that too!! Be extrs helpful, and go to the pet store. If the perfect one inst there, wait. Tell her that they are are a lot less expensive than other pets. They are only about $10, and food is hardly expensive!!
GOOD LUCK!!

Tell her all you know about them like what they eat, size of cage to get, behaivior etc. Try to save up for one as that might help.

maybe by doing chores without your mom asking so she sees how resposible you are.
