Ideas?

[jumping bananas.]

'Right, so I've seen this rabbit on the internet, it IS for sale and is free, doesn't need a hutch, in fact at the moment it lives in the seller's sitting room...but I don't know how to get my mum to get it... she says they will pee and poop everywhere, but after I said it is house trained and will only stay in my room, unless I am with it....she still said no....so...she said that she would have a think about it a while before that...then, as I knew what would happen...five seconds later she said no. e-e
So...any suggestions? D;

I am going to try going onto my mum and dad's computers and putting up rabbit pictures for a month or so...but I don't really know if it will work. xD

How about offering to keep to rabbit in a cage? Your mom obviosly doesn't want a rabbit running around loose, housetrained or not. So if you were to keep the rabbit in a cage except for when your holding it/keeping a close eye on it, your mom might be alittle bit more willing.
I know that is how my mom is.

A good place to begin is by doing as much research as you can on rabbits, and showing/telling your mother everything you can about them and exactly how you'll care for it. Citing sources and professionals on the fact that yes, rabbits can be housbroken, is much more convincing than simply telling her that it is.
As I'm sure you know, keeping a rabbit isn't going to exactly be cheap, even though the rabbit itself is. I'd recommend figuring out how much food, upkeep and vet bills are going to cost if you already have not, and explain how you'll be taking care of those costs, if you can.
Also, be sure that you're displaying responsibility already, through grades, helping around the house, etc. [I think that one of the main problems that parents have with buying pets is that they fear that they'll be the ones to end up taking care of the animal if/when their kid loses interest.] Likewise, since rabbits can live for quite some time [up around 10 years, in some cases] you should probably make a plan for what will happen if you choose to go away to college.

Lastly, make sure that you're ready for taking care of a rabbit. c: Properly taking care of it and interacting with it will take up quite a bit of time. Rabbits are, however, excellent pets.

Though it may seem silly; doing a 'presentation' of why you should get the rabbit, how you'll care for it, etc; may really help. That's what I did when I was trying to get permission to own rats. x3

Anyway, good luck! I do hope that it works out for you. c:

I do have some ideas of how to buy the food/etc...and at the moment already have two Roborovski dwarf hamsters, both of two my mum hardly even has anything to do with, ;p

Thank you for the advice, I might save up for a cage, and in the meantime (if bought) will keep it in my room, plus....seeing I have nothing else to do these days it'll be fine caring for a rabbit, I have a lot of time on my hand, since I'm home-schooled and all...
I will try all of this, it did take me a while to get the hamsters, I suppose it was birthday luck at that point. xD
Anyway, great advice from the two of you, ^^; I have said to my mum that I will do chores around the house for how long it takes, even in the garden...which is a big, well---mess. Alright, so...once she gets back from work I will try my best about the research and me buying the supplies once it all goes together.

If your Mom is just against having to look after his rabbit, tell her you promise that she won't even know it's there. Tell her you will vacuum up your rabbit's waste if it gets on the floor, and tell her you'll keep it in a cage the rest of the time. You could offer to do extra house work in exchange for the rabbit, and tell her that you will pay all the expenses and take care of it all yourself.

Ah, will try. While my mum is at work tomorrow I'll vacuum up the house and tidy it for her, and as I usually do, will look after the animal myself...and she won't even have to buy the supplies or any toys for the rabbit. Thank you for the advice, I will keep it in mind!
