I keep forgetting!
I have 2 gerbils, and I love them very much. I really want to get more, but my mom and dad won't let me because I sometimes forget to feed them. I notice in a day or 2, and they never eat a lot of food anyway, so there's no harm, but my parents are still set in stone. How can I convince them?

Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
I know this doesn't sound very good, but if you want to get more gerbils, try to be used to caring for the first two before you get any more. You don't want them to die, do you?
Pets can take a bit of time to get used to, especially when you have to care for them.
Just make sure you're caring for them everyday. That's one way to show your parents you can get more; to care exceptionally for the ones you have now.
'Hope this helps !

I would suggest you feed them. I know that sounds harsh (sorry) but I think it is the only why to convince you parents. try setting an alarm so every day when it goes of you can check if they have food.

My parents used to breed Yorkshires, and i always wanted to have my own puppy, so they devised a plan. They got me a pet rat (named mickey mouse). They said if i proved myself responsible then i could have my own puppy. Mickey mouse died about 4 yrs later, and i got my puppy (Lexy). I was sad that mickey was gone, but i was so proud of myself. Maybe you should sit down and devise some time of responsibility payment plan? And maybe try to feed them another type of food, and i'm sure they would love some alph alpha or your vegetable table scraps.

Be more RESPONSIBLE in taking care of your current two gerbils. Prove to your parents that you are MATURE and RELIABLE enough to take care of your pets.
And oh, DON'T FORGET TO FEED those poor things. =)

Why do you want more?
Do you have a good answer to that? If you don't, your parents aren't likely to be convinced otherwise. Most would think two is more than enough.
You should start with paying more attention to the ones you have.
I have two critters myself and a reason I got them was because I didn't want someone else to buy them just so they can feed it to one of their other pets.
They were only 3 weeks old and being advertised as food...

Remember to feed your gerbils, silly!
