  • I would make a research paper about hermit crabs so you can prove to them that you will be responsible enough to take care of them correctly. It might also help if you make a list to compare the various pros and cons between hermit crabs and your typical dog(cat,fish whatever. something that is obviously harder to take care of) Then make sure you really play up the negative side of having the other pet. Like mention how gross it is to scoop poop and how expensive vaccines are. I would also point out pet hair and fleas. Call a pet store and find out exactly how much it will cost to buy the Hermit crab and everything you need for it, and then find out how much your monthly upkeep will be. Let your parents know and if you have a way to make money, offer to pay for it yourself. Go ahead and set up a place in your bedroom that would be perfect to keep your crab like a dresser or night stand. Once they see you go through all this work, It will be hard to say no! Make sure you dont forget to mention how hermit crabs are your "new favorite" animal! Good luck
