My neighbour told my mum she wants a hamster guinea pig and a dog :{:{ I'm so worried they have fish and can barely take care of them! The tank is covered with algae! I'm so worried these little guys will put through hell please help how can I convince them not to get a pet!

The reality is you can't they will get one regardless of what is said to them. People learn the hard way and most never listen.

You could try though.

I'm freaking out like they can barely take care of their kids! nvm pets I might try and exaggerate how much care goes into piggys and mayb try and put them off a little...

That's a good idea!

Tell them that you have to bath them and just exaggerate EVERYTHING!

i think thats the best idea, just go on about how expensive they are, you have to clean out nearly every day and just go over the top,they soon wont like that.

Tell them they are absolutely vicious.

 

[starla]

if they are that bad you should be putting them off having any animals not just pigs. Tell them all dogs bark all the time and need tons of exercise and time, and hamsters and pigs bite
haha

I know about the other animals too its just easier to put them off smaller animals like hamsters and piggys because they are more specialised if you get me? Don't get me wrong I hope they won't get a dog either! :{

tell them their nails need constant trimming and they bite when you do it

To be honest if you tell them a pack of lies and they do get a pig then they will just let him/her rot in a hutch. I would be truthful and try to educate in thee correct way.

Sorry to be a stick in the mood, but I think education is so important with animal care.

Yeah I guess your right I just don't want irresponsible people getting pets if I can help it in any way

Harsh as It may sound If they want one they'll get one regardless of what you say, the only thing you can do Is make yourself available to answer any questions they have or tell them about here and they could surprise you and catch the piggy bug we all suffer from
