0:00:27 > 0:00:30GIGGLING
0:00:34 > 0:00:36I have this little sister, Lola.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41- She's small and very funny. - SHE SQUEAKS
0:00:41 > 0:00:45At the moment, Lola is... What are you doing?
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- I'm being a guinea pig.- Why?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Because I really like guinea pigs.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55And maybe if Mrs Hanson lets me, I can bring Bert...
0:00:55 > 0:01:00- Bert?- Yes, Bert, our class guinea pig, home for the school holidays.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- Have you asked Mum? - Yes, I've asked Mum.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07And she said it'll be completely fine.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Ooh, Here, Bert! Whee whee!
0:01:10 > 0:01:12THEY CHUCKLE
0:01:12 > 0:01:17Lotta, do you know all about guinea pigs?
0:01:17 > 0:01:21There are lots of different kinds of guinea pigs.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24There are short-haired ones,
0:01:24 > 0:01:28longer-haired ones,
0:01:28 > 0:01:29brown ones,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32black ones, hmm...
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Brown and black ones, uh...
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Fluffy ones, messy ones,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40and there are tiny ones.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- Bert's an Abyssinian guinea pig. - Amisidean?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Sub-a-nub-nub-nub-nubean? - SHE CHUCKLES
0:01:48 > 0:01:54- I think Bert is a girl guinea pig. - Bert's a boy guinea pig.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58He looks like a girl cos his hair's all pretty!
0:01:58 > 0:02:03- How did you know all about guinea pigs?- Cos I've got one at home.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05He's called Fluffy and he comes from Peru.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09BOTH: Peru-u-u! Where is Peru?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12It's a very long way away.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And in Peru, there's lots of long grass.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20Guinea pigs love long grass because they're shy.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22THEY CHUCKLE
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Hello, I'm in Peru!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Whoo!- Hello.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33And they like to hide in burrows of other animals.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37THEY CHUCKLE
0:02:37 > 0:02:42Guinea pigs like to gnaw on wood and twigs and things,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45so their teeth don't grow really long.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47They use their whiskers
0:02:47 > 0:02:51to see if they can squeeze into different spaces.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Come here, Bert. It's all right.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00HE SQUEAKS Stop wriggling!
0:03:00 > 0:03:04You don't hold him like that, Lola. Let me show you.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Look at him.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Ooh, I need to know how to do that,
0:03:11 > 0:03:17because I've asked Mrs Hanson if I can take Bert for the holidays.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- I've asked too. - But you took Bert last time.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25And Bert had such a nice time playing with Fluffy,
0:03:25 > 0:03:30- I asked Mrs Hanson of he could come again.- I've asked too.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- And I know what they eat. - So do I.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Um...biscuits!
0:03:34 > 0:03:39No, they don't, Lola. Guinea pigs eat fruit, vegetables and grass.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42And bran.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I don't think Mrs Hanson would use me to take Bert home,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50because they know everything about guinea pigs and I don't.
0:03:50 > 0:03:56Ssh! Mrs Hanson is telling us who is going to take Bert home!
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Please pick me. Please pick me. Please, please, please.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03LOLA CHUCKLES
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Do you know how to look after him?
0:04:05 > 0:04:11Yes I do, Charlie. Mrs Hanson told me everything after the class.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15She said I have to give him clean water every day,
0:04:15 > 0:04:19and new straw for his bed and he mustn't stay outside at night
0:04:19 > 0:04:21cos it gets really cold.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24You must always wash your hands after holding him,
0:04:24 > 0:04:30and he likes to eat fruit and vegetables, but not potatoes.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35You must never ever give a guinea pig potato. Or crisps.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41- And don't you think Bert looks like a girl?- I don't know.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Well I think he looks like a girl.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50SHE CHUCKLES
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Here, Bertie.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Hmm, there.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01I've brought you some food. Come on, eat it all up.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Mmm mmm. >
0:05:04 > 0:05:06There.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Bed for Bert.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11There you go.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16If you were my very own guinea pig I would take you everywhere.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20I would always take you shopping with Mum.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27I would take you to the cinema.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28And library.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I would take you everywhere!
0:05:35 > 0:05:36SHE SIGHS
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Ah.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- Do you want to play Flip Flop, Lola?- No, thank you.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47I'm stroking Bert cos I don't want him to be lonely.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51How could he get lonely? You haven't left him for a single moment.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55I know, but when he was at that other girl's house,
0:05:55 > 0:06:00he had a guinea pig friend called Fluffy. He's only got me now.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Listen how happy he is, Charlie. BERT SQUEAKS
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- He does sound happy, Lola. Can I hold him?- Yes.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10BERT SQUEAKS MADLY
0:06:10 > 0:06:13No, not like that, Charlie.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Like this.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Oh, you really do know all about guinea pigs, don't you?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Dad's made this for the guinea pig run.- Goody!
0:06:27 > 0:06:31My guinea pig run is full of adventures.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Bert is just going to completely love it.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36There you are.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Ready, steady, go!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Go!
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Oh, Bert, look, you have to run through this bit,
0:06:47 > 0:06:51under the bridge, through the wiggly bit,
0:06:51 > 0:06:55all the way to the end. Go!
0:06:55 > 0:06:56SHE GASPS
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Look, Charlie! Look at Bert!
0:06:59 > 0:07:02He's going really fast!

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Look at Bert go!
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Wow! I know what we need, cushions!
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- To make extra bouncy walls for the end bit.- Yes, yes, yes!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Ooh, we're having fun.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21THEY CHUCKLE
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Hmm.- Huh?- Bert?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Bert.- Bert!- Uh oh.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Where is he?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Bert is completely and extremely gone!
0:07:34 > 0:07:39He can't be completely gone. He's got to be here somewhere.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Bert!- Bert!
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Bert!
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Bert!
0:07:48 > 0:07:51He can't be lost, Lola.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Maybe he didn't like me.
0:07:53 > 0:08:00- Maybe he's run away.- He hasn't run away. He has to be here somewhere.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Here, Bert.- Bert!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Bert.- Bert!
