How can I convince my parents to let me get guinea pigs? This is one of the most asked questions on my channel and videos! As the first part of a new series of videos, I explain the things you need to consider before asking your parents about getting guinea pigs. Subscribe for more videos coming soon!
A quick summary:
1. First ask yourself if you can commit to caring for a pair of guinea pigs. Your parents will be reluctant to let you get guinea pigs if they aren't sure you will continue to care for them.
2. If you looking into your first pet and aren't quite ready for the work required to look after guinea pigs, consider something smaller and easier to care for, such as a hamster.
3. Show your parents you have thought about who will look after them if you are ever away from home, or if the whole family goes away.
4. Explain honestly the costs involved, set up costs and vet bills may be expensive, and day to day care can cost between £5 and £10 a week.
5. Don't forget to research every aspect of guinea pig care, so you know all about them and can readily answer any questions your parents have!
