How can I convince my mom to let me get a pet rabbit?

Sit down with her and explain to her that you are more mature and remind her that you do a lot like keeping your room clean, helping around the house, and getting good grades and that you will be responsible enough for a rabbit. And you can tell her that a rabbit will help teach you even more about responsibility and that it’ll be a good thing for you. Hope this helps!

Let me ask you a question, you want a rabbit for your 16th birthday? What happens in two years when you graduate? Rabbits live for 8-14 years. What happens when you go off to college or move out? You think your first place is going to allow pets? Especially if you’re going to college. Who’s going to be stuck with this rabbit after you leave your home? If you think that you’re going to be able to have a pet when you leave home, why not just get it when you leave? It’s only 2 more years. It’s not fair to burden your parents with an animal they have no interest in keeping. Rats live between 2-3 years. That is a huge difference. Also, believe me, when you have a pet, there are things you dont think about. I got a cat. For the last 3 years I have only left her for more than 2-3 days one time. My friends are able to go travel, visit home, go do stuff, but I dont have that freedom because I have to think about what I’m going to do with the cat when I’m not here.

give her the puppy dog look, without laughting and kinda mone like a sad lonley puppy. it works for me all the time! :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
