LOL if your mom is anything like me (mom of 4 boys) its going to be hard to convince her. when you loose interest in your "new" friend who do you think is going to pick up the slack. when pets are brought into families mom should be the first one asked if SHE wants the pet, because ultimately when everyone looses interest, its mom that looks after the pet.

rats should be kept in pairs because there social animals who need and crave attention of their own kind... plus rats can be expensive should they get sick.

i have spent about 400$ in vet bills in the last 16 months on my girls (rats). i would spend that and more again if i had too. rats regardless of what people think, require a lot of personal time with you as their owner. they crave the attention with you. theres nothing more adorable then little chattering teeth and little rattie hands holding the cage bars begging to be played with.

i love rats and have chosen them as pets, your mom might not feel the same way.

there are other costs involved as well, and whose going to flip the bill for all of that?

good sized cage with levels start at 50$

wheel 10-20$

water bottles 3-20$

food dishes 5-15$

hide box 5-10$

carefresh 20-30$ (rats can't have pine or cedar wood chips, it can kill them)

rat lab blocks 5-10$ a month

hate to tell you this, i can see where your mom is coming from, so i can't help you convince her. the reason i even bothered to tell you all this is so that you see it in black and white how much ratties can cost you.

If you mean convince you parents, Tell them it is a requirement for Hogwarts.

I saw this show and there was a priest talking about god and he said that when his sister was a kid she wanted a rabbit but her dad said no. So she asked him again every two days and after a while he started saying,'' even if I wanted to buy you a rabbit I don't know where to get one.'' and she said,''I know where'' so her dad said,''show me'' they drove and came this little sign that said''rabbits for sale'' so her dad said'' we don't have a place to keep them'' she said'' I already had Paul build me a cage'' and so she got her rabbits. The priest was giving a message that instead of just hoping that you're dream will come true, put action behind you're words. If this doesn't work save up some money and tell you're parents that you will pay for everything.
