    Make two lists: Positive AND negative sides about letting you have guinea pigs, and make a positive and negative list about positive and negative sides about the guinea pigs. Show them the list and tell them why they should let you.

    - Remember: you should get two guinea pigs, two females or two males. Guinea pigs can live up to 8 years, you should look at your future and see if you have time to care for them in a few years.

    i have a guinea pig named clare and i adore her. i went throught the same thing you went through. my parents wouldn't let me get one. i showed them that i was responsible by babysitting and keeping my room clean. Make a bet with them. say if you get straight a's on your report card then you deserve one.

    first what i would do is butter them up with better grades and having my room clean then id start going hardcore and clean the whole house then if that doesn't work try earning the money yourself and ask if thay can drive you there to get one and you'll pay for it also while going hardcore make them food instead of them making you food.

    Get a dog, they pull their own weight in the family.
