How Can I convince my dad to let me buy a hamster?
I've had a lot of hamsters before, And they were all helathy, and died of old age.
But no matter what it seems like my dad will never let me get another one.
I've done practically everything to prove it to him.
I've cleaned, I've begged, I'm running out of ideas.
And he always has an excuse.
Like he doesn't want to take care of it [even though I do, and have]
Or he doesn't want to deal with me [or it] when it dies.
Or its just too much money.
Any ideas?
keep in mind my dad is
cheap
stubborn
and not easily won over.

I researched and researched and researched until finally I had enough info to write a 3-page long essay on why my mother should let me get a hamster. I included that I will pay for everything, they are great pets, clean, and that the fact that I took all that trouble to write a whole essay when I HATE writing essays shows how very important it was to me.
It worked!! And my mom is also very cheap, stubborn, and not easily won over, like your father. Try it out! You never know!
Ask if you can use your allowance to buy and care for your hamster.
If you don't have an allowance. ask for one.
I wrote a contract. I said i would pay for every thing plus do the dishes 4 2 weeks!
It worked!
Buy one. don't tell him until you have bought ALL the required items (food etc.)
or show him how responsible you can be by taking care of other pets, doing chores or just helping out
In the end it is your dad's choice, wait a year or so and try agian. Don't beg, that just increases your dad's reluctance.
