0:00:02 > 0:00:04Welcome back. This is Pet School, and it's day seven.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Two unforgettable weeks...
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Ooh!
0:00:08 > 0:00:11..nine pet-crazy kids...
0:00:11 > 0:00:12I'd like a dog.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14I'd really like a scorpion or a snake.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16I would like a rabbit.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18..and 51 hungry mouths to feed.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22But can Pet School give our nine Pet Heads
0:00:22 > 0:00:24the skills to become responsible pet owners?
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Sit! Kiki, sit!
0:00:28 > 0:00:30'When term's out, will they persuade their parents
0:00:30 > 0:00:32'to get them a pet of their own?'
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Is he going to get a pet?
0:00:35 > 0:00:39I'm Aaron Craze. Four days to go. Boo-ya!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58'Previously on Pet School...'
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Are you ready for this, guys?
0:01:00 > 0:01:02'..the Pet Heads were given brand-new pet buddies...'
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- You've got the chickens...- Cool!
0:01:04 > 0:01:06'Tej got the goats.'
0:01:06 > 0:01:07I was literally gutted...
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Sit! Good girl!
0:01:10 > 0:01:12'Liam was sad to lose Molly.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15'He wanted to prove to his parents he could handle a dog.'
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Oh, my gosh!
0:01:16 > 0:01:19'And Molly's new pet buddy, Micah, was scared to touch her.'
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- DOG BARKS - Calm down!
0:01:24 > 0:01:28'Here at Pet School, we kick off the day with a morning assembly,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31'and today, there's a big surprise in store.'
0:01:31 > 0:01:33There's four days left. That's it.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37That's all you've got to prove to your families you can do the job.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Right, guys, who wants to see what happens
0:01:39 > 0:01:41when a cute little puppy grows up?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Yeah?- Me!- Me!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Aww! A cute puppy belonging to our Reena...
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and look what she's grown up to be!
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Oh, wow! That is a...
0:01:52 > 0:01:54This is my doggie, come to see you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Hello!- This is Piper.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Her name's Piper, she's three and a half years old.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Three and a half? - She looks like a tiger! She is huge!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- What breed is she? - She's a mastiff cross.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Right, guys, let's not forget,
0:02:08 > 0:02:12it's the beginning of another beautiful day here at Pet School.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And we start the day with Pet Practice, yeah? Here's your groups.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Are you ready for this?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22You are with Piper the dog.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Yes!- All right, Piper!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30You're in the Exotics.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32'That's home to our bearded dragon, Brett.'
0:02:32 > 0:02:33- Yes!- OK.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- All the horses at the stable today. - Yes!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Off you go!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Mornings at Pet School are spent working on pet skills,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51with the aim of turning our team into top pet owners.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Each group gets just 45 minutes to complete their tasks -
0:02:55 > 0:02:56not long at all.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Oh, no!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Chris, Micah and Liam all want a dog as a pet.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Reena is on hand to see how they are with hers.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Yes.- Yay!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Today they need to...
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Micah's off to fetch some poo bags, just in case.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22With a big dogs, this is an additional tool to help you.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25So this goes round her nose...
0:03:25 > 0:03:26This looks too small!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I don't get this.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Liam, keen to impress Reena, takes the first turn with Piper.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- You still can't fit it. - Yeah, go on, just a little...
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- That's cos it's on her ears. - Don't get her ear get caught in it!
0:03:40 > 0:03:42It's a bit tricky, but Liam's done it.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I've got plenty of poo bags.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Walkies!- Oh, good girl. OK, let's go.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Chris, do you want to take the lead?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Chris has always longed for a dog of his own.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55What's your first impressions of Piper, then, Chris?
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Cos it was such a big dog, it couldn't move, like, fast.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03We also controlled it by its head,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06so it couldn't, like, charge,
0:04:06 > 0:04:10and, like, pull us along, because it was a really strong dog.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11It's time to let Piper off the lead,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14but the lads will still have to keep her under control.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19OK, just loosen it for her now, around the nose.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Is it off? Lovely.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Now, we've got to have really good control of the dog,
0:04:22 > 0:04:26cos there's nothing holding onto her. Come on, Piper!
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Piper.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Oh, my gosh! She actually does what...
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Chris is getting on well,
0:04:33 > 0:04:37but will Micah be able to overcome his fears with the help of Piper?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Rachel, Sophie and Tej arrive at the stables
0:04:45 > 0:04:47to meet horse handler Barbara.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Hello.- Hi, guys.- Hey, Barbara.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Right, let's find out what this Pet Practice is all about, then.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57And if they complete the Pet Practice in 45 minutes,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00they'll be able to ride the horses as a treat!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Wow, what a Pet Practice perk!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Barbara demonstrates on Dobby first.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Like that. So this...
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I hope they're paying attention! It looks quite complicated.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Barbara's finished in five minutes.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Our lot have 40 minutes to get Muddy ready.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Should be plenty of time, even for beginners. Right?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21OK, so I've shown you what to do.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Now it's up to you guys to go and do Muddy, OK?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Whoa!- Watch the back!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34You sort out this side, and I will go round to the front...
0:05:34 > 0:05:35- Me too.- ..and have a look.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Rachel, yeah, she's taking a lot in and she knows what she's doing,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41better than me and Tej, I think.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Come here, Muddy.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Muddy, come here. Muddy!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Tej gives it a go, but he's struggling a bit.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Can I have your face, please?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51We were doing really well,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54because we got the saddle cloth on and the saddle,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56and that's when it got hard...
0:05:56 > 0:05:58That's it, good boy.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Try and grip the horse's head. Not too tight.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05..because...we couldn't get the bridle on.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07That's what took up most of our time.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- If I hold one hand on the bit... - Yeah.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- ..and then you can hold the other. - Yeah, two fingers.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Getting the saddle on, getting the reins on and all,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18that was a bit... That was well hard.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Have we done it? Yeah?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Not quite! - No, we haven't done it, guys.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Just a couple more straps to go, but time's running out.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- We've done it! - What do you think, Barbara?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32A ten-minute job has taken you almost an hour,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35so there won't be any riding today.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Not a good result.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40It was a bit of a disappointment, and we were all like,
0:06:40 > 0:06:44"Oh, all that hard work, and we don't get a reward for it."
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Despite completing their task,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48they've taken so long to get the horses ready,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50there's no time to ride them.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52That's NEIGH good, is it?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Let's hope things go better for Sam, Giulia and Ysabel.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I wonder what's in store for them.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03OK. Pet Practice.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09They've got to feed Brett the bearded dragon live locusts.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13So you'll be taking a back seat on this one, Sam,
0:07:13 > 0:07:14like last time?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21When I was told what we had to do with the locusts,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23I was really petrified.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Well done, Rachel. Really well done.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Oh, they are horrible.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29I wonder if Brett's hungry?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31ALL GASP
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Careful, guys! That's Brett's lunch!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Do you want to have a look?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Don't pick the big one, because that will freak me out.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Oh, my gosh, she's going for it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42I couldn't do this.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44We all had different roles.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I didn't nowhere near put my hand in that bag,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48because I hate locusts.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Go down.- Go, go, go, go! Shut the bag, quick!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Dunk it in the calcium!
0:07:52 > 0:07:56The calcium dunky dip helps keep Brett's bones nice and strong.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Brett, you've got your first live meal of the day.- It won't hurt you.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Good... Eww!
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Shut the cage.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Bearded dragons prefer to eat moving insects.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Yuck, that's disgusting. - I know, right?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I have lost my appetite.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Brett!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- You've got a locust in there. - Oh, nice one! No, let's watch...
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Let's see Brett get it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24THEY EXCLAIM
0:08:24 > 0:08:28So Brett's got a full belly. Task complete.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31And Sam avoided the insects again!
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Outside, Reena's called me over to see how Micah will cope with Piper.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Wait!
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Out of our Pet Heads, Micah's the most nervous around our pets.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- It's been a big problem since day one.- Oh, Milly, you licked me!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48She's already down, so that's fine. Ask her to wait there.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Wait!- She's got to watch you now. She's got to see where you go.- Wait!
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- At whatever distance you want... - Hey, stop! Sit!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Micah's doing a great job getting Piper to obey him.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Now call her. Say, "Come!"- Come!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Finish.- Wait till she's there. "Finish," that's it.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Wait till she's...bums down.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Good girl!- Good girl!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Yay!- Well done!
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Still keeping his distance a bit, though.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Great result, but Micah's still a bit cautious of animals.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Despite this, Micah, Chris and Liam
0:09:21 > 0:09:24ARE becoming more confident around dogs.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Sam is still avoiding insects,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29and this lot missed out on riding at the stables
0:09:29 > 0:09:31because they couldn't complete their chores.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38'Coming up, CBBC's Chris and Dodge get a VIP pass to Pet School...'
0:09:38 > 0:09:39High-four!
0:09:40 > 0:09:44'..Tej struggles to take Pickles and Primrose for a walk...
0:09:45 > 0:09:48'..and I have a chinwag with Micah's mum about his pet problems.'
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Reena's very concerned...
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Yeah, just cradle him in your arms.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Every day, the Pet Heads spend time
0:09:54 > 0:09:57getting to know our pets up close and personal.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02This week, the chickens are buddied up with Rachel
0:10:02 > 0:10:04and their enclosure is a right old mess,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07so today she's roped in Sophie, Chris, and Micah
0:10:07 > 0:10:08to help her clean it up.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- What is that?- Poo.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- On the roof?!- On the roof.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- They jumped on the roof and pooed. - Eurgh!
0:10:16 > 0:10:20I will be in charge of making sure that you get everything done.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- What?- What?- You're doing it as well.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Why?- Because it's your pet buddy.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Exactly. I have to do this every day this week.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32As always, Sophie is straight down to work...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34but the same can't be said for Rachel.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- You are the pet buddy.- Agreed. I'll do most of the work.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- I don't clean.- Well, then, you'll be a terrible pet owner.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Get out! Get away! No! There's a chicken in that corner!
0:10:44 > 0:10:45For goodness sake!
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I mean, it's her pet buddy and everything,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52and then she's scared to clean it up.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55And she's running around screaming, when it's her pet buddy.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58She's got to clean it up for another three or four days.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Rachel can't chicken out.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02She needs to stop winging it and get working.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06On the other side of Pet School,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08the stick insects are under the watchful eye of Sam.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12The stick insects are really boring.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Really, what am I supposed to do with things that look like sticks?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I don't know who would want these as pets.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Sam's dream pet is a snake,
0:11:23 > 0:11:26but because Dad hates them, Sam can't have one.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28There's no snakes coming in this house.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I'm absolutely petrified of snakes.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Because Sam doesn't want to stick with the stick insects,
0:11:33 > 0:11:37he's called in Liam to help him find another potential pet buddy.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39How about a bearded dragon, Sam?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41He's a bit like a snake, I suppose.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I mean, they've both got scales.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Oh, my gosh!- What?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Its face! Oh, my gosh, that's so funny.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Dude, let's have a staring contest. Three, two, one, action!
0:11:53 > 0:11:55My money's on Brett.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Blink. Blink.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02It's like he knows I've said that.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- I know, right? - Oh, he blinked, I won!
0:12:05 > 0:12:08So, Sam, is a bearded dragon a potential pet?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- I don't think I'd want it as a pet. - He's not that fascinating.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Probably for the best, eh?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Sam can't bear to touch insects, so Brett wouldn't get fed.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Next stop, the furries room. How about mice?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- Oh, my gosh, that is so cute.- Aww!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- It's got red eyes.- Wow.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Mice are a maybe, then.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29How about Giulia's favourites, the rats?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- That's huge!- There's three of them.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- Their tails look like a rope. - They're so big!
0:12:37 > 0:12:40It smells in here. Anyway, let's go see the hamster.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45That would actually be pretty cool.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48A little bit messy.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I wouldn't mind the hamster. But there's, like, loads of other...
0:12:51 > 0:12:53But we'll think about it.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Nothing like a decision.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58And that was nothing like a decision.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Back at the chicken coop, Rachel has started to help.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07The boys are getting rid of the old chicken feed.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Is this herbivore? What are they?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I think they're herbivores, because they don't eat meat.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14That's it, put it in the right bin.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Lads, you forgot to shut the gate!
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I smell trouble...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27SCREAMS: Oh, no! The chickens escaped!
0:13:30 > 0:13:34The chickens are definitely on the run.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36SHE SCREAMS
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Screaming at them is going to make them run away even more!
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Come on, Chris. Show them how it's done, mate.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52These chickens are just toying with them now!
0:13:54 > 0:13:56After ten minutes of chicken chasing,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58they're all back in the coop.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Even though it's day seven,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03some of our Pet Heads are still struggling to grasp
0:14:03 > 0:14:05the skills they need to be a good pet owner.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07SHE SCREAMS Chicken poo!
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Celebrities Ashley and Pudsey, Daniel Roach,
0:14:13 > 0:14:15and Strictly Come Dancing's Artem
0:14:15 > 0:14:18have all dropped in to Pet School to meet our team,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21and today it's the turn of CBBC's Chris and Dodge.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Hi, man. Good to see you.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25High-four!
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Straight from the CBBC office,
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Chris and Dodge are the perfect pet and Pet Head partnership.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Chris is a massive Dr Who fan, who's always up for a laugh.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Dodge loves spending time with Chris,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41almost as much as he likes hanging out at the bins.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43When it comes to a pet and his buddy,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45no-one knows more than these two.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Welcome to Pet School, Chris and Dodge!
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Do you know what? Micah really likes dogs. Come and have a little pet!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Oh, Micah, come and see me.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54HE GROWLS
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Micah, stay back! That's bang out of order.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Watch yourself, Dodge!- Well done, Micah. That was very brave.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I told you he's petrified of dogs.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04If he ever gets out of hand, all you have to do is this. Dodge? Sit!
0:15:04 > 0:15:05There we go.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I want to meet Kiki.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08THEY LAUGH
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Let's roll.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13So, Chris and Dodge, this is the dog room,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16and it's where Micah and Sophie spent most of their time
0:15:16 > 0:15:18with their buddies, Molly and Kiki.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20So, guys, do you want to tell them a bit about your pet buddies?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Well, Kiki's a really nice dog.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26She's a terrier, and she just really likes eating a lot.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- What does she like to eat?- Just treats. Normal dog treats, really.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Carrots, carrots.- Oh, and carrots.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Yeah, you know, I like to eat all the usual things too,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36like burgers, pizzas, Chinese takeaway...
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Not those treats. Dog treats.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Oh. Oh, I see.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Now, Dodge, I've got a question for you.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Micah's got a little bit of an issue with nerves around new dogs.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Oh, really?- Now, as you are, obviously, a dog...- Yeah.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- See, he's a bit nervous already? - Don't be shy!
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- Have you got any advice for him? - Yeah, you just need to play it cool.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57You need to put your shades on and stroll down the street, saying,
0:15:57 > 0:15:58"Yeah, I'm not scared of no dogs!"
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- See? I told you.- I've heard...
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Your dog told me that you don't like to pick up his poop.- No, I love...
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- I don't mind picking up poop. Kiks! - Well, I heard differently, actually.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12The dog told me that he does a little dog egg
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- and you just go, "Oh, look at that," and walk somewhere else.- Dog egg?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Well, I've left you a little task, and I've left a dog egg down there.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- Oh, come on!- Come on, son, once I leave, just put it somewhere safe.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25What would you prefer - picking up a dog egg,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28or giving Dodge a cuddle?
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- Dodge a cuddle.- Give me some love.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35'Micah and Dodge are bonding,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37'but can Micah do the same with Molly later?'
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Here at Pet School, we like to show our Pet Heads
0:16:45 > 0:16:47some amazing animals that aren't for everyone,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50because they're extreme pets.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Right, guys, it's extreme pet time.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56It's an opportunity to find out about an animal that's really cool,
0:16:56 > 0:16:59but not necessarily best for a beginner
0:16:59 > 0:17:00in the world of pet-keeping.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Right, guys, this is Danny.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04- Hi.- Hi, you guys.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Danny, what extreme pet have you brought in for us today?
0:17:07 > 0:17:11I've brought in for you today an African flat rock scorpion.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12- Ooh!- OK.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17It's a dream come true for Sam.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I'd really like a scorpion or a snake,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22but my mum's too scared to have one.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24There is no way Sam can have a scorpion,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28because I'm absolutely petrified of creepy-crawly animals.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Unlucky, Sam! You'll just have to enjoy this one.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Oh, my goodness.- Oh, my days!- Scary.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37He's called Mr Pinchy.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Are you feeling a bit scared?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- Is this the closest you've ever been to a scorpion?- Yeah.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I've never actually seen a scorpion in real life before.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I've only just seen them on TV.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55When people think about scorpions, they think about the sting.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58How, you know, dangerous is the venom in Pinchy ?
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Not that that bad at all.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03But you do have some that are extremely aggressive,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05and their venom is extremely toxic.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Micah's about to find something other than the sting to worry about.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11You know the pincers? Can they hurt you?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13The pincers are extremely powerful.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15The larger varieties - believe me,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17the pinch is far worse than the actual sting.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Micah's keeping his distance from this one.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23What do scorpions eat?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25They come from an order of animals that are insectivores.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29So these guys would eat things like locusts and crickets.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Feeding them locusts?! Might not the best one for you, Sam.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39You're fine, you're fine. She can't jump, you're OK.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46What's a scorpion's closest relative?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Spider.- Really?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- They're the same family, they're arachnids.- Wow!
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- Interesting or what, guys? Did you enjoy that one?- Yeah.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- What an afternoon. Danny, thanks for coming in.- Thanks very much.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Cheers, thank you. And thank you, Pinchy!
0:18:59 > 0:19:01As Scorpions are dangerous,
0:19:01 > 0:19:02none of the team can touch it.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Lucky escape, Micah!
0:19:04 > 0:19:05- Did you guys like it?- Yeah.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I thought the scorpion was quite cool.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- It was a shame we couldn't hold it. - I didn't want to hold it.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Neither did I. I don't want to get stung.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Over in the reptile's room,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Ysabel has brought Giulia and Sam to see her new pet buddy,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Elvis the corn snake.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Let's do it!
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Because he's still not shed, she's not been able to touch him,
0:19:30 > 0:19:34and Elvis' previous buddy Sam only held him once.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Feels good!
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Well, listen up. I don't want to alarm you,
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- but we've had a bit of an activity go on in here.- OK.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47What's happened... He's started to shed his skin.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Elvis hasn't eaten since he got here,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52so the Pet Heads are going to find out if he's hungry.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Let's go feed Elvis.- Yeah.- Uh-huh!
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Oh, there he is.- Cool.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Hello, Elvis!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- What's that? Tongs?- Tongs.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Oh, wow, that's...- Big scissors.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Yeah, I think you get it by the tail.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Sam knows Elvis the best, so he takes the lead.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Wobble it round. Wobble it round.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Because he is shedding, Elvis may not be hungry...
0:20:17 > 0:20:19None of them are tasty, in my opinion.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22..but offering him the mouse won't do him any harm.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25We've got the mice all ready for the corn snake to eat.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27The thing is, it won't take the mice,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30even though if we pretend and trick the corn snake
0:20:30 > 0:20:33into thinking it's alive, it still won't take it.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36When they are shedding, it's best not to feed snakes.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40It's really interesting, I've never seen that before.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Well, Elvis may not be hungry, but he is thirsty...
0:20:43 > 0:20:45It's like the hamsters when they eat.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Yeah, and their little pouches.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51..and lying in water also helps snakes to shed.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- Well, at least we've seen him drink. - Yeah, I guess it's something.- Yeah.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Bye, Elvis!
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Have a nice shed!
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Over in the goat enclosure, Pickles and Primrose
0:21:07 > 0:21:10have the pleasure of Tej as their pet buddy for this week.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Hey, Pickles.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Hey, Primrose.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Oh, gosh, she's shy.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I think Pickles and Primrose are really sweet, but...
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I think it's going to take a while to bond with them.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33But they're really nice, so I enjoy playing with them.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35And I kind of want to take them for a walk now.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38It seems Pickles and Primrose might have other ideas.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Pickles! Primrose!
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Stop running!
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Do you guys think I'm playing?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Why am I asking you? You're goats...
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Looks like Tej is struggling to bond with his new buddies.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Come on, I don't want to hurt you!
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Last week, Tej was buddied with Kiki,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05and they were the perfect pair.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09I absolutely love Kiki more than any animal I've ever seen in my life.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12But it just ain't happening with Pickles and Primrose.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16How about the help of an experienced animal wrangler, Tej?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18So here comes...Micah?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Hey, Tej!- Hey, Micah!
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- 'Sup?- You all right?- Yeah, I'm good.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26These goats hate me, like, so much.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29You have to stroke them until they're all calm,
0:22:29 > 0:22:33then get a hold of their collar and then just....
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Yeah, I know, but they, like, run away.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Interesting technique - state the obvious,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40and then watch Tej do all the work. Nice!
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- I don't know if I... - Just stroke it for a bit!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I don't know if I can hold him by the collar or anything.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48What you have to do, when you get them,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50is just grab onto their collar.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Yep, steering well clear of the goats there, Micah.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55I'm losing my head with these goats!
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- Just grab the collar!- Oh, my gosh!
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- Just grab it!- I can't, though. They keep...
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I'm not very strong, you know?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03You just have to put all your strength into it.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07I think you need your own superhero, Tej!
0:23:07 > 0:23:09And here comes...
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Super Liam.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13HE YELLS
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Liam!
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Don't worry, citizens, I'm here!
0:23:22 > 0:23:24So what's your technique, Liam?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Just keep him. Keep him, mate. Quick, quick.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Done! Woo!
0:23:31 > 0:23:34It's worked for Pickles. How about Primrose?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Hold this. Hold it, hold it, hold it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Ooh, so close.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43If we had digestive biscuits, it would be so much more easy.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47- We're going to need some help.- No. - Shall we call someone else?
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Here comes Giulia!
0:23:49 > 0:23:52These goats, they're driving me crazy.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Getting Primrose and Pickles out.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Guys, I don't think it's going to work.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Good approach there, Giulia. Slowly and steadily.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06That's not going to work, because we don't...
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- She won't come.- Tej! Tej!
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Micah's watching from sidelines.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Slow down. Calm!
0:24:13 > 0:24:15The goats do like to run around,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18but you have to be careful not to scare them.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Time to give up now, guys.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27It's a good idea to leave the goats on their own now.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I kind of really want a new pet buddy,
0:24:30 > 0:24:34but I really don't want a stick insect or the bearded dragon.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40Pretty much anything else, I... might probably be OK with.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42It's just those goats!
0:24:42 > 0:24:45They're so hard to work with. Good.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49To take Pickles and Primrose for a walk,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Tej needs to get some top tips from their old buddy, Chris.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Approach them slowly, give them some food and then it's walkies time.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Good luck, Tej!
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Micah's not getting on with his pet buddy, Molly.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06He still hasn't touched her.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Come on, you're going to go for a walk. Stop. Sit.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Sit. Hey, Molly!
0:25:14 > 0:25:15Good girl. Stop.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Yes! Come, Molly, let's go!
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I just put the lead on Molly,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38which is the first time I've done it.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I was nervous, but I got through it.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44I know he's got the lead on, but he's got to get more hands-on.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- Come, Molly! - HE SQUEAKS
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Come, Molly.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54After this morning's Pet Practice with Piper,
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Micah's moving forward,
0:25:55 > 0:25:59but he's still got a long way to go, so I've called in his mum.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Reena's very concerned. At the moment, you know, she's like,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05"I don't even think he's ready for it."
0:26:05 > 0:26:07How does that make you feel?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09A bit disappointed.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I tried my best to be a bit more...
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- confident around animals. - Confident, that's the exact word.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18So, Mum, how do you feel about Reena's feedback,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20on maybe the nerve and the fear factor,
0:26:20 > 0:26:22that he's not ready for an animal?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24He's not been around a lot of animals.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26We had two budgies a couple of years ago,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29and we looked after a puppy for about two nights or so.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34I can understand, but I think if you just get stuck in there a bit more,
0:26:34 > 0:26:38take a bit more of a lead, you know, you can do it.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Yeah.- If you really want to do it, you can do it.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- If you really want your dog, you can do it.- Yeah.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Bottom line is, you've got three days to prove you can do it.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Can you do it?- Yes.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Sit.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Up! Up!
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Yay! Good girl!
0:26:54 > 0:26:55After my chat with Mum,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Micah's determined to make it work with Molly.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Good girl!
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Look, he's even stroked her for the first time! Result!
