Parents still won’t let me get a ferret :(

Just tell your parents they sleep 18 to 20 hours. Also they are hilarous – I have a ferret, and he is very nice. He like to explore, wrestle, chase, and just roam around while watching tv. Also don’t worry about waking them up because they sleep so much you think they are dead 🙂
Hopes this helps.

thanks for the info kate 🙂 It was really helpful, thank you so much!

And cass, a couple of years ago I wrote my parents a persuasive letter asking them if I could have a hamster. I included things like why it would make a good pet for me. they were very impressed and let me get one! i have tried this seven times for a ferret, along with a powerpoint and even a few gifts, but they just won’t let me get one 🙁 This will hopefully work for you, it’s definately worth trying! Good luck in getting a ferret, post on the page if it works! 😀
Thanks again kate!

I am having the same problem with my parents! i would love to have a ferret but they won’t budge! If you find anything helpful in helping to convince them I would love to know! 🙂

Ok so my mom is just like yours and my dad well, he will say yes to anything! But if she doesn’t like them cuz she thinks they bite and are rodents well — first of all ferrets rarely bite and they are not rodents. They don’t really stink but they have a slight musky smell to them but most people can hardly smell them.

Does she think she will end up doing all the work? Well if so, try to prove you are very responsible. Maybe you could make slide show of very cute ferrets and put in some good facts about them. Here are a few facts that I have:
1. They are not rodents.
2.Don’t really bite.
3. Are quiet.
4.They are 100% domesticated
5. They were breed to be domesticated.
6 Ferrets are not dumb.
7. Unlike some animals they will become very fond of you.
8. Easy to exercise
9. Easy to feed
10. Are good with dogs and cats.

hope this helped!! 😀 🙂

Thanks very much for all your help. I will show my mum the links and see if I can change her mind, though I doubt it. Thanks again! 🙂

I’m so sorry your mother is so against you getting a ferret.

Is it because she doesn’t like them (some people think they’re slinky and creepy – I know coz my sister is one of those people!) or is she worried that the other animals in your family are at risk?

The shelter idea was great but if it won’t work then maybe it’s an idea to print out other people’s reactions to having a ferret – if you know what I mean?

Have a look at these links I’ve put about posts and if you think they’d be good for your mom to read, then print them out. If not, find other posts which you think would impress your mom.

If that doesn’t work, then maybe you should just wait till you leave home and get a ferret then 🙂

Good luck!!
