How can I get my mother to accept pet rats?
I want two pet rats, but my mother refuses due to the simple fact its a rat. Shes told me I can get a ferret, a chinchilla, ect. I have reasons for not wanting a ferret (I want something kept in my room, a ferret would smell much to badly.) and I want something that doesnt mind just cuddling into a blanket and chilling.
How can i try to make her not ‘fear’ or hate rats or whatever her hang up on them is? I’ve taken her to the petstore and let her see the big, and baby rats, and she still says no to them.
What should I do?
Maybe show her some rat websites. The creators usually have a page or paragraph on their experiences with rats and why they make good pets. Also, let her know that she doesn’t have to go near them or hold them if she doesn’t want to, and the cage will stay in your room. Whenever you go into a room holding the rats, give her fair warning so she isn’t startled.
(It took me ages to convince my mother, but now that she’s met the little guys, she loves them ^^)
