How to have my parents get me a guinea pig?

My parents said that they don't like rodents and we have all ready had hamsters and you got bord with them. I didn't get bord with them its just when i would try to pick them up they bit me. I have been wanting a guinea pig for months i have the money to buy them i have 20 bucks. My dad says he will think about it and if we get one he will buy the cage. But my mom is like umm no.How to have my parents get me a guinea pig?
Well if they don't cave in they have an electronic guinea pig

That is programmed to be happy sad, and all that. I wanted a bunny then when I got one it pooped all over and was really moody and noisy too. But persistence is key. Otherwise gupi is pretty cool, hey if you ask for that, they might feel sorry for you.


Oh its not available via that store but maybe you can find elsewhere online they seem to sell like hotcakes.How to have my parents get me a guinea pig?
All mothers are difficult.


This will be a great lessen in responsibiliy.


You can tell your mother that and have your dad by your side to also put pressure on your mom.


You promise to be responsible for it and tell them that if you prove not to be responsible you will take it back to the pet store yourself, you know they can always find another home for it.


Pets are wonderful and a very good lesson for kids in responsibility. And fun.
Well, if you are REALLY desperate (and still young) you could pretend to have an imaginary pet guinea pig for long enough, then they might give in and buy you one...





Your best bet though, is to find out information (how much it will cost for food, supplies, etc.) tell them you will help them out, and convince them that you are responsible enough to care for one (that might have been their concerns the last time)
try not to be asking them all the times, ask them once in a while, be like, ';mom, dad, i think i am responsible enough to get my own pet, to feed it every day, to love it and not neglect it... i know its really a lot of work, and expensive, but dont you think im responsible??'; they will say and then you will say and so on, think possitive, and dont say but every second, be patient, this to will pass, good luck, guinea pigs are cuties, and show them pictures of the animal, how ';good'; they are.


good luck again!:):):):):):)

If you get good grades you could be all like, ';I've proved that I'm responsible enough to hold my own with school'; or whatever then you should say that you are ready to take care of a guinea pig and that your mom doesn't have to do anything and that's all you want...or something like that.
$20 dollars is NOT enough! Sorry! The cage alone could be around $100 dollars! But I know a cheap way to get cages! go to the link below!


Guinea Pig (Petsmart)- 25.00-35.00 ( but you need 2!!)


Hay- 5.00


Pellets (good brand)-4.00


Water bottle (one that won't leak!)- 3.50


Dishes- 3.00


Cage (this is a stupid petsmart one, see link!!)- 100.00


Bedding (look around website below for more options!)- 3.50


Ehh...150 might be enough?? Seriously the link about C%26amp;C cages is so much cheaper and will save you SOOO much $$$!!





I had to create power points, papers, facts, etc. to convince my parents...and they LOVE animals! I told them at least 3 facts daily so their minds were always thinking about them!





Good Luck!





(sorry if my typing is bad i got acrylic nails put on today and am not used to them yet!)
First do research on them .I have no idea where you plan on getting them for $10.00 each.At petsmart they cost $35.00 each.You need to think of things that you will need daily through out the guinea pigs life.For instance, do you have enough money to buy bedding,food, hay, and vegatables every month?You cant just go out and say ';omg its cute lets buy it.';.
had your problem i had a guniea pig and he was such a joy to have but remember that you will always need the right utensils such as food toys cedar as the bedding and a couple of fruits and veggies and dont forget to take it baths every 2 weeks or so and with all the proper care im sure your parents will buy you your guniea pig
Guinea pigs cost around $45 per piggy now. They used to in the past cost $20 put the price has been raised. Plus you need a cage, and all the supplies which will come around to $150.. But tell your parents it will teach you responsibility if they get you one and if you don't take care of them they can get rid of them.

Find a guinea pig that is in danger...you see my friend has 4 dogs,8 cats, multiple fish tanks, a hamster, had a rat(she died) but most of her animals had a delima they were in a life or death situation...try finding a guinea pig that NEEDS you...it'll brake ur mums heart and she'll let u keep it...that's what my friend did!
like whoopie goldberg in ';the color purple'; be a slave to your mother.you should have your gpig by the week end.remember,moms love attention,epically if it comes from a child. good luck
Umm well I think you need more than 20 bucks. Keep your grades up, be nice to your parents, and be like the perfect child. They will reward you for all your achievements.
aguinea pig is about 40 bucks plus cage, food, water medicine just in case, which is about 200 bucks
try convince them your responsible enough for looking after it and you wont get bored of it.
believe in yourself and all will be revealed my child
you are a little bugger aren't you, have you ever heard of the secret, well you need a secret board my friend, what is this secret board, you will need a wash board or something like that to hang in your room, place a picture of a guinea pig on it and write a pet guinea pig for me, and this seams weird but trust me it works, just make sure you take good care of it make sure it has clean food and water, clean it's cage 1-2 times a week at least, and get it out to play often, and if it bites you don't drop it that can kill it, and don't pull away that just encourages it to bite more, the secret to everything is secreting, and that is what the secret board is. oh that is how i got 100 bucks and my rats. and with the guinea pigs you get make sure you get it out every day and let it spend time with you, always make time for your pets. and it also depends where you get it, at pet smart they are 30 bucks, cages are over 100 bucks. you need the proper water bottle, a big enough cage, bedding, food (when and if you get your guinea pig look at the food they the owners are feeding it and buy it that food) and take it to the doctors office if needed. and don't get a guinea pig if you can't take care of it, i have had many guinea pigs and they are reall hard to take care of, they are stinky too, don't let them live outside or in the garage though, prove to your parents that you are responcible enough to take care of it, and all i said needs to be done to keep your guinea happy and to let it grow a connection to you, and don't hold it the first day don't even touch it or stick your hand in, the next 1-2 days put your hand in to smell it, watch the guineas actions and if it isn't scared by the next day you can hold it, but if it is scared by the 2nd day don't hold it and wait another day.
