As I said in the headline, I want to convince my parents of 2 or 3 color mice. I have already informed myself how mice are kept etc. I'm also old enough to take on responsibility; Put down food, clean the cage, etc. I would also do it myself and also pay.
1. Problem
I would put the mouse enclosure in my room because there's nowhere else to go, but my parents think my room is way too messy. Maybe I could even persuade them by saying I better clean up then, but then there's problem 2 …
Problem 2
My older siblings didn't have any pets, so I'm not supposed to have any. For example, I wasn't allowed to have / buy a Nintendo because they weren't allowed to either. I can understand that it would be stupid for them, but would it be so bad if I was ONCE allowed to do something they weren't allowed to do😥
Question for the survey: As big siblings, do you think it's stupid if the little one is allowed to do something that you weren't allowed to do?
Instead of talking about your siblings, YOU could clean up your room and keep it tidy so that a cage can even get in.
Basically, I think that every child has to be treated individually. Therefore one can have something that the other did not have.
As a mother, I can tell you that I would never have allowed pets. You can buy one, Woman has her own apartment.

You should approach that very differently. Surprise your parents! Clear everything away properly (so put it away properly and don't just push it into corners), wipe and vacuum thoroughly once a week and sort out things that you no longer use. You go through this for at least two months and only then ask if your parents still think you wouldn't care for mice. You have already made space and could show them a blueprint or something similar how your room with a mouse enclosure would look like.
It was the same problem for me but I wanted gerbils and now I also have two Mongolian gerbils
I kept begging but when they got annoyed I stopped
For me it took a year or two, but now I've finally got it and I'm totally happy about it
LG and good luck to you 🌟🌟🐭
