along with the letter you need to include a list of all the supplies you will need and the prices for all those supplies and some facts about how much they eat and how often their habitat needs to be cleaned. that will show that you have thought it out and know that it requires some work. you can also offer to pay for half of the cost of teh hamster or supplies or write up a sort of contract outlining your responsibilities and how you plan to uphold them in order to convince your mom that you are serious.

Say you've reconsidered whether you really want a hamster. As your mom breathes a sigh of relief, ask for a snake instead.
My mom let me have a rat after I spent three years or more asking for a snake. Admittedly I didn't know I wanted a rat until I saw this charming albino in the pet shop around the same time I was starting to give up on the snake issue. But now I can't imagine NOT having my handsome little rodent!
Suggest that if a hamster isn't an option, you could get a snake. You only have to feed them and clean their cage once a week, they don't smell, they don't set off allergies, they can't tear/chew up the furniture, they're gorgeous (I think), they live a lot longer than rodents do, they're completely silent, and they can stay in your room out of sight of any visitors who might faint if they learn you have a snake in the house.
Just neglect to mention that snakes are brilliant escape artists, or if you do mention it, point out that hamsters are NOT escape artists.
If your mom is anything like mine, she'll do a lot to keep a snake out of her house. A hamster will seem like a wonderful alternative - especially if you are one of the lucky few gifted with big pleading eyes.

Well, try the letter. This sounds like a good plan! When you are all done typing the letter, give it to her. Wait until she responds back to you, don't keep asking her about it. When she talks to you about the letter, be prepared, you might not get the answer that you want. If you do get the wrong answer, tell your Mom that you gave it a shot. Well, YOU DID! But, if your Mom says that you get a hamster, hug her and say "Thank you sooooooooooooooo much!"
I hope that this helps! If you have any other questions, or, it doesn't work, you can e-mail me at: pethelper4@yahoo.com! GOOD LUCK!

in case your hamster is a syrian you could no longer get yet another hamster, because of the fact they'll kill one yet another! If their dwarves then they don;t want a companian as such. And dwarves do combat, my pal have been given 2 from teh comparable muddle and had to seperate them because of the fact they fought, your hamster will maximum probable no longer permit yet another into its territory. Hamsters are solitary creatures and in many circumstances do no longer delight in company. Be greatful for what you have have been given, supply your modern-day hamster a lot of interest and stuff. on the top of the day its your mothers abode and if she doesn;t want yet another hamster in it, then abide via that. you won't be in a position to continually get what you want. Your hamster should not be lonely, it is going to happier on my own.

Hamsters have a foul smell as rodents they urinate almost constantly - carefully research the best way to house and keep them clean if you can prove to your mom that you can keep the smell at bay you will have a much better chance of convincing her.

well start out asking for something really expensive, like a horses. Beg and beg for a horse for like a week. Then, we your riding in the car with your mom, sy " Mom, i give up on the horse. Can I just have something small, like a hamster?" Then it doesnt seem like as big of a deal. Trust me im a professional. :]

You can tell her that you'll pay for the checkups and you can also potty train your hamster so the cage won't stink as much. But when you get a hamster,check how much evrything costs,because evrything total for my hamster was 55$

If you have a dog or a cat or whatever pets you currently have, show your mom how responsible you are by taking care of one or all your pets for a week. You must feed, bathe, water, and walk those pets and nobody else can help you. This will help. Make sure your Mom knows you are doing this, though!

Some people do not like hamster. And there is no way to change their minds.
But good luck in trying.
