Here are four things they'll get you a bunny.
1. Money - How are you going to afford your pet? Rabbits can be very costly. Food, toys, cleaning products, vets bills. You can't seriously think that your parents will buy and pay for everything. Get a saturday job or do chores for your neighbours like walking the dogs, cutting the lawns, weeding the gardens or washing the cars. Show your parents that you're willing to give up you free time so you can afford your pet and it also shows them that you're serious.
2. Information - You need to do a lot of research on rabbits. Go to the library and pick out some books or get on the computer and google them. Find out as much about rabbits as you can, their history, were they came from, traits, foods they can or can't eat, what kind of living conditions they need, how long they live for, their social structure, illness, etc. Then either present the information you have to you're parents in a PowerPoint presentation or letter. Include all the good points of owning a rabbit, but also the bad points as it'll show you're parents you're looking at the whole picture and not just trying to con them. (Don't forget to add cute photo's of bunnies at the end!)
3. Responsibility - You have to be very serious on this. As a responsible owner, need to be aware of the fact that if you get this rabbit and you can't take care of it to the best of your ability, then you need to re home it. Perhaps take more responsibility with any other pets you might have.
4. Patience - Parents are stubborn, grown-up creatures so you'll need to be patient with them. This process won't get you a rabbit over night. I had to wait almost five months before my parents allowed me to get another guinea pig. Don't nag them all the time as they'll get annoyed and be even more against the idea. Instead just drop hints here and there.
I hope this helped and I hope you do get your rabbit. Good luck. ;)

Do you've a source of earnings? inspite of the undeniable fact that you're prepared to pay for components now, there are ongoing prices fascinated about having a puppy. It expenses as a lot as $40 a month to feed a rabbit a suitable nutrition plan. Plus you could take the rabbit to the vet for a each year checkup, which will probable fee $one hundred/three hundred and sixty 5 days. in case your rabbit receives damage or ill, it is your duty to take him to the vet, which could fee thousands of bucks for a serious ailment or damage. this is basically something to contemplate. i imagine that's all moot seeing that your mom is allergic. Why might want to you want to problem your mom to a puppy that she is allergic to? you could wait till you've your man or woman position, and earnings from the organization of your cockatiel. they're tremendous birds.

You are correct! Bunnies urine is what smells, if you keep up with cleaning daily the smell shouldnt be a problem. good luck!

It took SOME time for me to convince my parents to let me have a bunny. What you need to do is if you have access to Microsoft Powerpoint then make a well detailed presentation and present it to your parents. If you can, keep it outside so its tidier

Ha ha! All you have to do is get a cat litter tray and put carefresh inside of it. And clean it out every other day, depending on how bad it stinks. If you get him/her spayed or neutered then it won't stink as bad and it womt be as strong. :)

You can't
Stop begging and whining
Its your parents house, their rules, their description and they said no. The fact you refuse to accept the fact that is it their house and their desoion shows you are not mature enough for one

you can litter train them by putting their poop in the tray and they will eventually just go to the tray to use the bathroom. then you just clean the tray everyday instead of the whole cage.
