Convince mother of hamster?

I am now 16

our last rodent has now died of old age (guinea pig)

Mouth now I have wanted to have a hamster for a long time, of course I waited and asked her about it today

but what would be different:

I would buy the nagarium, the hamster, sand all with my own money that I got from my grandparents

We still have accessories, bedding, hay and feed at home.

all this would also be suitable for a hamster

but the only thing she says is : no

no matter how many points I tell her, and that I would keep him in my room and clean him 2-3 times a month (not completely, of course, as that is very stressful for hamsters), where she wouldn't notice him.

but she does not mention a single contra point and no reasons against it…? Except that she once addressed the past hamster (who lived in very terrible conditions and thus escaped).

But it wouldn't be like that anymore. I've been studying species-appropriate care for three years now.

How can I convince them?
The only disadvantage for her would be that she would have to drive me to get the nagarium and a hamster

since I don't have a driver's license yet…?

Finally, it is your mother’s decision to have a hamster in her apartment or not.

If I get it right, you /deine siblings used to neglect a hamster. But if that’s been three or more years ago, she should admit that you have helped in time and now you are able to take responsibility. If she doesn’t trust you, ask her what tasks you can take to prove to her that you can act responsible. If you show her that you can, she might allow it.

It is, of course, difficult to find arguments if your mother does not really explain why she says no. But in the end, nothing else will be left to you than to accept it as long as you still live with him.

Not at all, and there she doesn’t need to mention any reasons you know very well, because I wouldn’t allow my kids to get a new animal, which could wait until they get out.
In your case, learn to accept the no, have no longer long and until then you have read yourself a little better in all matter (feeder, posture etc)

Apparently, she already knows she’ll have work with it. Even if you say no certainly not, but you will go on holiday, etc. Who should pay the vet bill if the hamster has something? Who continues to pay the food, etc. You don’t have that for a few years, do you?

What is this supposed to be for a feed suitable for both guinea pigs and hamsters?
Who takes over the high veterinarian costs in case of illness?
Did you keep your guinea pigs art-friendly (single is there animal cruelty)?
Your mother doesn’t want a new animal in her house. Wait two years, then you can take off and get as many hamsters as you want. But remember the cost.
