My first pet was goldfish, my dad said he is going to throw the aquarium out of room if I buy it ,but I bought them and decorated my aquarium so good that he was like : we need to put it in living room cause the living room would look better.... Me: I bought that for me so, it(aquarium) stays with me in my room... Dad: get yourself another Then I got me more aquariums lol
Mmm haha also there seems to be a very fine line between "convincing" and "manipulating" at any rate I think it's fun to hear how the young ones think :)
Very good points here! Mommy doesn't always have time to care for you, herself, and pets. That's usually a parent's main concern is who's taking care of it.
It took me 1 year to convince my parents to get a reptile. I wanted a ball python, but my mom wouldn't allow it (she hates mice and couldn't handle having dead mice in her fridge lol) but my dad was fine with it. I decided to find a different reptile that will be more "reasonable", so I decided on a leopard gecko. I did a lot of research and randomly after a month of wanting a leopard gecko, my dad just said, "Want me to get you a tank for your gecko?" I was thrilled! If you are trying to convince your parents to get you a pet, please have patience. It will be worth it in the end. I am happy to say that I am getting a male leopard gecko next month after a lot of patience! :D (I am not a very patient person and it was hard, but you sometimes just have to go through it if you want to convince your parents to get a pet)
They've said no my whole life. I don't have any friends because I'm autistic, I'm so lonely. I can't wait to turn 18 in 6 months and move out and finally get a bird from a shelter.
Another thing that could help is go too the more lenient parent and ask them and if they say yes but you have to ask the other parent ask that parent if they could ask the other parent that might make it a bit easier if there wife/husband asks
Hey. I'm so sad today. I am moving into a tiny house and cannot bring my two 4 year old RES with me (1 male and 1 female) Because I cannot haul 200gallons of water around with us. I need to find a home for them. Than I am going to buy a couple of Baby Cherry Head Red Foot Tortoises. 1 male and 1 female. Those I will be able to travel with. 😁
I LOVE birds and the pet store in my area has parrots and my dad only wants a hamster,he says they are way to messy (and I told him you can train them.) any way to convince him? 🙏
I've been getting good grades cleaning the house and being better I've been asking my parents for 8 years to get a cat I've studied a lot and they still, say no without a reason :(
I feel you. It takes patience and insane persistence. It might not even happen until you move out (me with my parents and snakes lol) If your parents are the forgiving type, maybe ask for forgiveness instead of permission? although generally I don't recommend that for obvious reasons haha.
Awesome tips love your channel your soooooo smart to know all these things about turtles! keep up the work and a question when did you start getting into turtles? Your awesome and have a nice day!
The Turtle Girl I watched the video and your were 11. I am the same because when I turned 11 I got a turtle for my bday. I thought it was going to be easy. But I was wrong, but it is all worth the time and money. I now love reptiles and would love to get another on day. But of course I will make sure I do my research. And I just recently found your channel and a channel called Go herping, love your turtles and congrats on 7k.
I have already done everything you have said in this video including paying for everything but still my parents say no to a kitten😥 But I do have nine other pets🙄
I want a pet hamster or a puppy but I ask my dad for that he said that he don’t like hamster he said that hamster look like a mouse and dog my dad said it annoying to have a dog and My house is not that big 😢 I was so sad but my dad said that if I grow up I can buy whatever I want he said 😢
I love all your videos & you have been a big help ,I am currently getting a turtle &I have been doing alot of research it would have been alot harder to find out what I need to know to be a responsible turtle owner if you didn't make such awesome videos also you have a very pretty turtle
Hi ms turtle girl I loved your tips but am I on the right track because I keep convincing my parents to get me a dog because I really want one, but they won’t let me so I will try to get a book but I am also serious so I’m sad
*OMG THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH I ASKED FOR A PET TORTOISE AND WITH THESE TIPS MY PARENTS SAID YESS!! THE TORTOISE IS A GREEK TORTOISE AND I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH! THANK YOU!!
Great tips, I’m an adult and living on my own so I don’t have this problem😅 even when I was living with my mom, she was always cool with me having animals... I just got lucky with that.
My dad will NOT let me get a cat because they are messy and smell but I told him that I can clean and make it smell good but still no so I am going to try all the things that u said 😅❤
Tried everything...guess my only chance is Christmas or my Birthday 😕 But still goodluck on that happening...I know myself I don't deserve one that much
I'm trying to get my dad to let me buy a horse. But I already have 12 reptiles.😂 And they eat every two weeks. And they aren't to expensive. I'm about to get my own job so I can pay for them myself. He still is set on no about the horse. But I'm still very greatful for all the other animals I already have. I'll update y'all if I ever get one😊
oh I never even thought of that! then perhaps if you did live an apartment that limited space, you'd be best off looking into straight up fish and maybe wait for a better time to get a turtle :)
Im confident that the parents will love to hear that the turtle will only live about 70 years :P
"Only" lol
lol that's why they have to be sure you'll care for it 🤣
Some turtles live for about 15 years

hehe that's a fun story! it definitely helps when your tank looks pretty ;)
Lol
Now do "how to convince your wife" lol 😂
Mmm haha also there seems to be a very fine line between "convincing" and "manipulating" at any rate I think it's fun to hear how the young ones think :)
Hey, happy wife, happy life. And happy mom, happy everyone. And maybe it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission 😂😂😂
xD
Very good points here! Mommy doesn't always have time to care for you, herself, and pets. That's usually a parent's main concern is who's taking care of it.
Absolutely!
Anyone else want guinea pigs with stubborn guardians? I created a whole slide presentation to convince my grandparents lol
I will try these tactics out and report back, hopefully they will let me get a new gecko =D
You still haven't finished your homework! How can you take care of a gecko if you can't finish your homework on time??
Do it 😂
Steenfott Aquatics I already have a gecko!
Ok now wake one for people who already have pets and want more!

My mom:no you cant get a dog we already have 3 dogs which are your grandmas and plus we have a cat so no
Me:please
Mom:i said no!!!
Me:fine!
How can you be SO actual... I'm planning on getting a turtle on 18 september! Wish me luck...
You can do it!
They've said no my whole life. I don't have any friends because I'm autistic, I'm so lonely. I can't wait to turn 18 in 6 months and move out and finally get a bird from a shelter.
What do I do if my parents say who’s gonna take care of your pet when we go on a trip because you can’t take your pet???

Aw, I'm so sorry that you're having to leave them. Best of luck in finding them a new home!
Thankfully my parents encouraged me to get a pet so i could learn responsibility. Doesn't mean I got it right away though. :)
That's awesome!
Lucky!!
I LOVE birds and the pet store in my area has parrots and my dad only wants a hamster,he says they are way to messy (and I told him you can train them.) any way to convince him? 🙏
Me:that hamster will be mine
5 seconds later
If ur younger then blah blah blah
Me: o poop
I've been getting good grades cleaning the house and being better I've been asking my parents for 8 years to get a cat I've studied a lot and they still, say no without a reason :(
This is so real, literally nothing convinces them 😭😭😭
I have been asking for 4 YEARS no joke
I feel you. It takes patience and insane persistence. It might not even happen until you move out (me with my parents and snakes lol) If your parents are the forgiving type, maybe ask for forgiveness instead of permission? although generally I don't recommend that for obvious reasons haha.
I have been asking for 9 years 😔
I've been asking for more than 6 years😢😢

Hi I have a soft shell turtle do I have to get sand
You don't _have_ to, but definitely don't be using anything like gravel. I think sand is a great option :)
@@TheTurtleGirl can I use tile
I think so, but I honestly don't know much about softies, so I would do some further research ;)
I very badly want a parakeet, thanks for the advice and I will come back and see how it goes!
Best of luck!
I already have a dog and I want a another one but they won’t budge! What do I do?!?
I want a pet hamster or a puppy but I ask my dad for that he said that he don’t like hamster he said that hamster look like a mouse and dog my dad said it annoying to have a dog and My house is not that big 😢 I was so sad but my dad said that if I grow up I can buy whatever I want he said 😢

Thank you so much! 💚
I finally got a turtle today, without you this would not have been possible, thanks for everything!
congrats on your new shell baby! Best of luck with the little one :)
I want a turtle but my parents already got me a bearded dragon and it’s very hard for me to take care of
Thank you! I’m getting a turtle in four months now because of this video! 💜 your the best
I need this for another turtle
Hi ms turtle girl I loved your tips but am I on the right track because I keep convincing my parents to get me a dog because I really want one, but they won’t let me so I will try to get a book but I am also serious so I’m sad
aww keep persisting! best of luck!

that's awesome!
I really want aferret and they are like NO and I’m like PLEASE so yeah wish me luck
I did all that😢 still no
Can you please do Aquarium Heaters for turtles I’m kinda confused on that :)
Good idea!
My mom is letting me have a cat but she said after school ☹️my brother house has kitty s up States that so cute so I get one of then
Confident that whenever I ask my parents to get me a pet axolotl and a pet turtle they’ll say yes because they are like water but cute
I’ve done all of this and we are getting a frenchie but it’s a family dog😭
My dad will NOT let me get a cat because they are messy and smell but I told him that I can clean and make it smell good but still no so I am going to try all the things that u said 😅❤
I got like 4 dogs then my mom returned them I’m so sad I miss my puppies and my mom hates dogs so much
i cant get hamster :(
sucks for me, its summer but yes yes I did get good grades but thats their normal expectations for me 😂😂😂
What do I do if they say we don’t need another pet in the house 😑🐢💕
And for me and my spouse it's the opposite, de have to ask our children if we should get a new pet :)
That's the best way, but some parents aren't as keen on animals 😂 good for you guys!
Plz do a video on how to convince your MEXICAN PARENTS to get you a cat [they hate cats]
B R O K E N H E A R T YESSSSSS
Write an essay//do a power point
I really want a cat but I go on vacation every year so I can’t get one..
Tried everything...guess my only chance is Christmas or my Birthday 😕
But still goodluck on that happening...I know myself I don't deserve one that much
awww well I wish you the best of luck!
My parents won’t even ask questions it will just be.... “NO!”
just do your own research and slowly start letting them know that you want a pet. You'd be surprised how much persistence can help :)
Omg that very helpfull cause i want to get a turtle
I'm trying to get my dad to let me buy a horse. But I already have 12 reptiles.😂 And they eat every two weeks. And they aren't to expensive. I'm about to get my own job so I can pay for them myself. He still is set on no about the horse. But I'm still very greatful for all the other animals I already have. I'll update y'all if I ever get one😊
that's awesome! good luck!
It didn't work :(
Did you ever get a Leopard Gecko? Big fan of your channel :)
Not yet! Just haven't had the time to get something setup and find one, but hopefully soon 😉
I just got my first Gecko and I'm in LOVE :)
Love this video!!!!
What if you’ve been researching aquatic turtles and saving up for 17 years?
One reason that you missed is that sometime people live in a condominiums with rules.
oh I never even thought of that! then perhaps if you did live an apartment that limited space, you'd be best off looking into straight up fish and maybe wait for a better time to get a turtle :)
My parents won’t let me get a tortoise because I lose interest
My kids need to watch this video! Lol
Hehe yes!
Yes it actually works
If it were up to my parents, we would have a dog, 2 cats and a tortiose. But we have a dog, 2 cats, a tortiose, 2 cockroaches and 2 rats.
Thank you
