0:00:02 > 0:00:04Hello, I'm Luke Franks, and this is Pet School.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07It's day nine, and I can't believe it's nearly over.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Today is the last opportunity our Pet Heads have
0:00:09 > 0:00:11to prove themselves to their parents
0:00:11 > 0:00:13before finding out tomorrow if they'll be new pet owners.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Their mums and dads are keeping a close eye on them, because today...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20is Parents' Day.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Nine pet-crazy kids...
0:00:23 > 0:00:26- I would like to have a dog. - I would really like a rabbit.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28I really want a pet rat.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31..101 animals needing care and attention...
0:00:34 > 0:00:37..two incredible weeks.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38THEY SCREAM
0:00:38 > 0:00:41But have our Pet Heads got the animal know-how...
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Eurgh, they poo! Eurgh!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46..to persuade their parents they've got what it takes
0:00:46 > 0:00:47to have a pet of their very own?
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Has she proved to you she can be a responsible pet owner?
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Is she getting a pet?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Previously on Pet School,
0:01:14 > 0:01:15there was plant-picking panic.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17OK, run. Let's go, go, go.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Tweetie Pie had Thomas all wound up.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I don't feel so happy right now.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26And Lauren collared the Best Pet Carer vote.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I just really thank everybody that voted for me.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Thank you so much.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Coming up today,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35the mums have a scream in Pet Practice...
0:01:35 > 0:01:38and the Pet Heads snake through feeding time.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I'm so glad I'm a human.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Our Pet Heads know the drill -
0:01:46 > 0:01:49it's morning assembly.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Good morning, Pet Heads. - ALL: Good morning, Luke.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54It's day nine.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56ALL: Aw!
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- It's flying by, right? - ALL: Yes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Tomorrow you're going to find out whether you're getting your own pet.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Yes!- Yes. Did you think the day would ever come, William?- No.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06It's happening, it's happening,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09and the people who're going to make the decision - your parents -
0:02:09 > 0:02:11are here today as well. Good and bad. You can just show them
0:02:11 > 0:02:14exactly what you've been doing. You going to prove yourselves?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- They might get in the way. - They might get in the way.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Thomas, what's your mum going to be like with the animals, d'you reckon?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22With my pet buddy snake? Screaming.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24OK, interesting.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27So, you'll know every day we start with Pet Practice, right?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29And your parents are getting involved today as well.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- PET HEADS: Oh, no! - Oh, yes.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35So, welcome them in. Come on, parents, come and say hi.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37ALL: Hi.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41A few nervous faces, I think it's fair to say. That's cool.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Well, we're going to find out our groups for today. Up for it?
0:02:44 > 0:02:45- ALL: Yes. - Yes, all right then.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50Group One - Chloe, William and Courtney.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53You are going to be with the goats.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Yay!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Your parents are going to help you out as well.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Any experience with goats? - No, nothing at all.- No.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Group two - Tommy, Lauren,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Faramaz. Lauren's dad.- Hiya.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Snake - bothered by that, or...?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Anything with scales I'm not very good with.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12You've always wanted to meet a snake, Dad.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14But I never have, though, have I?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Pet Heads, what animal do you think Group Two is with?- Snake.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20You got it in one, good stuff. OK, Group Three.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Unfortunately, Ananya's still not very well,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24so hoping she gets better soon, we're missing her.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Group Three, just two of you in it, Sam and Thomas.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30With the cute little gerbils.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Yes!- Yes. Sam's mum - gerbils? You all right with them?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Yeah. Fine, good. Tiny, small.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39As always, 30 minutes to complete your Pet Practice.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41If you don't finish, what happens?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43ALL: You lose time in the Pet Buddies.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44You know this.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Off you go. See your animals. Good luck.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50We're going to need it!
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Now, Pet Practice has been key
0:03:57 > 0:04:00to our Pet Heads showing they can responsibly care for their animals.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04But today's a real chance to prove what they've been learning all term.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Will the mums and dads get involved with the teamwork,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09or are they just going to slow everyone down
0:04:09 > 0:04:11and bring everyone back for a Pet Practice penalty?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14So there'll be no time for kidding around
0:04:14 > 0:04:16if William, Courtney, Chloe and their mums
0:04:16 > 0:04:18are going to pass Pet Practice.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20"Today you have a joint task
0:04:20 > 0:04:22"involving the fantastic Pet School goats.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24"You need to clean up the goat enclosure
0:04:24 > 0:04:26"and fill up their feeding stations.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29"And we have a special task for Chloe's mum.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- "You get to walk the goat." - What?! Me? No!- Oh, yeah!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Basically they've got little collars on like dogs
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- and what you do is just grab... - Grab it?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Do I have to walk all three at the same time?- Yep.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43They're a bit like children, they do argue.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Hmm, reminds me of some Pet Heads I know.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Meanwhile, William and Courtney's mums
0:04:48 > 0:04:52have yet to start the business of clearing out the goats' business.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55We need to get in there and get all the dirty...
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Where do we put it?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Mum, you need to just head out.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Straight out, pull 'em. - Straight outside?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Yeah, they won't feel it, trust me.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05You've just got to pull them along. That's it.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Come this way. No. No!
0:05:06 > 0:05:11Right, come here. I'll get you out. Come on.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- SHE LAUGHS - Oh, my God!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20This is going to take forever.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- How are you doing, Mum?- I'm getting stuck in. I hope you are.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24- I am as well.- Good.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- How about you come back in and help clear up poo?- I am.- Good.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31My back's aching and I don't like picking up poo.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Are you sure this is on the sheet?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Over in the Furries, Sam and Thomas are hoping their mums
0:05:38 > 0:05:41will help complete their tasks without making a squeak.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43They must feed the gerbils,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45do a full health check,
0:05:45 > 0:05:49and Sam's mum has the special task of cleaning out the gerbilarium.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52You get to clean this out.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54You get to clean the whole of this out.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56So, first, we'll have to get them out.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Take some soil out first, then you'll find them.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- So they're in there at the moment? - They're in there somewhere.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Parents, take some soil out.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Here you go, there's a shovel, get right in there. Go on.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Be careful where you scoop, don't go too deep.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- There are the gerbils, there.- They're in there?- Yeah, they're under here.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Oh, there's something running around in there!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16SHE SHRIEKS
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Ooh, get it!
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Open the thing.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25This is hilarious!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28There are five gerbils!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33What's all these...
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Guys, I've got one in my hand. No, there's two more to come.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39THEY SHRIEK
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Sh! What a racket! It's no wonder the gerbils don't want to come out.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Five are out. All five are out. Yes, they're all out.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51As this team catches its breath, over in the Reptiles,
0:06:51 > 0:06:55one person is hoping they can slither out of a special snake task.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Lauren's dad, we have a special treat for you.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Great stuff.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03You get to feed the snake his dinner -
0:07:03 > 0:07:06a defrosted mouse.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09The team also has to change Tweetie Pie's water
0:07:09 > 0:07:11and clean out his enclosure.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Are you excited?- Not really, no.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I'm that nervous I can't even get me glove on.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- I'll go and get the defrosted mouse. - Take your dad with you, too.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26- Come on, Dad.- And also, don't forget the tweezers.- Yep.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Shall I lift it out? Just take the lid off?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35This is going to ming now, isn't it?
0:07:35 > 0:07:39If you think it mings now, wait till you hear how you have to serve it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42We need to actually make sure
0:07:42 > 0:07:45that this mouse kind of seems like he's a bit alive to the snake, OK?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Make sure the mouse is looking a little bit red round her face,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50just get a little bit of blood going,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53so that just makes the smell a little bit more tasty for her.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Dangle it around a little bit
0:07:55 > 0:07:57and then all of a sudden she'll start rearing,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59she might follow it quite slowly,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01she'll bend her head a bit, and then she'll have it.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Which I am not wanting to see.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Good luck. - Back out in the Fields,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10the goats have left Chloe's mum feeling a little gruff.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13It would have been nice for Chloe to have come with me and helped.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16She knows what she's done. She spent a week with these goats.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I've only just met them. Chloe!
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- Why don't you come and help me walk these goats?- It's your job!
0:08:23 > 0:08:25You know these goats.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27It's her job, she needs to understand
0:08:27 > 0:08:29that if she wants me to do it,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33then that's hard and she needs to know that. It's unfair.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35This way.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Move!
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Oh, dear, oh, dear. It must have been done by now.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Chloe, do you want your goats back? - Mum, you've got to keep walking them.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- They're your goats!- I want you to experience what I had all week
0:08:47 > 0:08:49so you know how responsible I was.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Back in the Furries room,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56the team are trying to crack the feeding task.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- How do they get into those then? - They are boiled.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01No, they just crack them.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Yes.- OK, shall I pop one in?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Hiya. Hi.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I've heard screams down the corridor. How have we got on?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Good.- It's been fine, but I'm still a little...
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I'm not sure about the eggs. We put hard-boiled eggs in
0:09:15 > 0:09:18and I'm not convinced that gerbils can break hard-boiled eggs.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20With the shells still on? Interesting, OK.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- We need to break open the eggs. - Why?- Two eggs are nearly done.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26That's better, look, now they're going to...
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- Thomas's mum, have you held one yet? - No.- Do you want to hold one?- No.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Do you want to just see one?- No!
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Do you want to stroke one? Go on, Thomas's mum.- There you go.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38That's a lovely one.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Oh, yes. Impressive.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44You proved yourself on Pet School, Thomas's mum.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48I think having the parents around made the job a lot harder.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Erm, because it was easier when you're all kids.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55You know, but there was a lot of screaming from the parents,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57which was quite silly, I think.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00But I think actually I helped a lot.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Nothing like a family disagreement.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Back in the field, Chloe and her mum are still butting heads.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Do I look like someone who cares for goats?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Look, we have a special task, see? She's special, you're special.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Oh! Them goats don't think so.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Oh, dear...
0:10:17 > 0:10:21If they come back in and poo, I won't be impressed.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Parents, how are we doing? - Not bad.- What's going on?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25At the moment, we're just cleaning up poo.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- OK, all right.- Going round and finding piles of poo.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31If you did get a pet at home, will that be your job at home?
0:10:31 > 0:10:32- No, it'd be Courtney's job.- Right.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Guys, can you help me get these goats back in?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Chloe, can we bring the goats in?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Oh! I'm tangled up, somehow.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Um, Chloe, shouldn't you be helping your mum?
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Aw, thanks William.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Bring him in. - Like to see your support, Chloe!
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I want you to experience what I had to all week!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54That was really hard work.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57They were just...they're really difficult to walk, really tough,
0:10:57 > 0:10:58really strong to pull along.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Cor, that's took it out of me, that has.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03They keep on pooing.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07They're just pooing more, why did you let them in?
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Ah, Courtney - it's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16Meanwhile, over in the reptile room, dinner is about to be served.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17I'm going to dangle.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20And he will...he will not muck around.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Yeah - he will pounce.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24FARAMAZ: Marie told us to warn you.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27And then straightaway, door shuts as soon as he bites it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Oh, he just saw it. - He's going to take it.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Oh!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33KIDS: Let go, let go.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- Feeling nervous, Dad? - Shut it, shut it.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I...I screamed like a girl!
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- Oh, my God! That...- Nice work! - That was quick, weren't it!
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Look, look... - I've only seen it on TV.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I'm so glad I'm a human.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Nerves were going, but our Lauren and the kids were very, very good,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03they seemed to settle my nerves down,
0:12:03 > 0:12:07so...it's a case of the kids teaching the adults!
0:12:07 > 0:12:11You see, which is...very rare, like, but it just shows you -
0:12:11 > 0:12:12you can always learn from kids.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15COCKEREL CROWS
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Time is up on Pet Practice.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Have our Pet Heads and parents completed their tasks?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Or do they need to put in some extra work?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Still to come, Courtney's mum tunnels through her fears.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Good, I'm not scared of it, actually.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I thought I would be.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Meadow becomes man's - or rather her dad's - best friend.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Nice to meet you, my new friend!
0:12:35 > 0:12:37And will the Pets Heads make the grade
0:12:37 > 0:12:39on their end of term reports?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43So how well did our Pet Heads and their parents do today?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Chloe, Courtney, William and their mums
0:12:45 > 0:12:46completed all their tasks
0:12:46 > 0:12:49as did Sam, Thomas and their parents.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52And with nerves of steel,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Tommy, Lauren and Faramaz also completed all their tasks.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Our Pet Heads have shown they are well-practised in Pet Practice,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02but will they be able to show their parents
0:13:02 > 0:13:04they've bonded with their buddies?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07See the goats, Mum? No, the guinea pigs!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Yesterday, I called them hamsters.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- This one is probably the most tame. - How do you know that?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Because he sits still. - There's poop everywhere in here!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Yeah - they're animals, they poo.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20They don't really have, like, a guinea pig toilet.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Why's he got a funny hairstyle? - Because he thinks its awesome.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28But this one likes me the most, I swear.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31He's the only one that stays still when I come touch him.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32He's always flinchy at first.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Hey? You've got to stroke them first, to get them used to you.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37So how do you pick it up, then?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40You pick it up, um... with one hand under them,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43under their tummy, supporting them, and the other on top.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- You want to try holding it? - I don't know.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- I'll touch it first.- It's nice.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Are their claws sharp?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51What do they eat, then? What's all this?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Er, that's their special guinea pig pellets.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59They also have things like rosemary, lemon balm -
0:13:59 > 0:14:02you know, things like that, little herbs.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03You might find one or two in there.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Of course the hay, I think, as well - they stuff it in.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08So what do you put in this ball thing?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I told you - the lemon balm and the rosemary.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12It's like a little treat ball.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14So you can see, I made it up.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I'm really impressed with Chloe, with the guinea pigs.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18She seems to have taken an interest in them,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20how to care and look after them
0:14:20 > 0:14:22rather than just sit there and cuddle them.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24I think Chloe has done quite well.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Nice job, Chloe.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Over in the furries room,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Courtney's mum is trying to get a hand on hamster care.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33How can I get him out?
0:14:33 > 0:14:34You scoop under him.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37If you're not up for it, I don't mind.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Try it again. - You get him and I'll hold him.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- I don't want to hurt him. - Hey, hey, hey, hey.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47You cheeky little thing.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Just wait - I'll close it.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Here - keep your hands around.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Mum, I'll go and get a toy and let Patch run around.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07No? Too small? That's it - he likes this one.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12I don't know how he fits in there.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17His nose is twitching - looks like he's going to bite.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21No, he's just smelling you to get your scent.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26So next time you go to hold him, he'll recognize your scent
0:15:26 > 0:15:27and he'll know who you are.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Do you think he knows who you are?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Oh, yeah, he knows who I am.- Yeah?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I come every day and I play with him.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Good, I'm not scared of it, actually.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I thought I would be.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44That's it, Patch, go on. That's my mum - go.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49See? He's just sniffing you to see who you are and get your scent.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I think he likes me better, cos he knows me more.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56If Courtney can clean it and look after it
0:15:56 > 0:15:58and take responsibility for it,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00then I wouldn't mind.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02He's quite nice.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Out in the field,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07William is introducing his mum to his buddy Flint.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10But he's still missing a less furry friend.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Even though I don't love the ferrets as much as Beardy,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I still...I still miss Beardy.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I'm just going to get them out, show you
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- and try to get them on a lead.- OK.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- There they are.- Aw!
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Well, my expectation of the ferret
0:16:25 > 0:16:28was that it would not be quite as cute as it is.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I can see why people are attracted to them.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Shall I hold it while you put the thing on it?- OK.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- If you just hold it like that. - Can you do it quickly?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Um, I will try. - They're a bit stinky, aren't they?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Yeah, they are a bit. - Come on, then.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Hey! They probably think you smell too.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Here we go. Here we go - oh!
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Do they like going for walks, then? - Yeah, they like it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- They just like to scurry around everywhere.- Right.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- How strange. - If you want to just take it...
0:16:56 > 0:16:59So if I walk, it'll follow me, will it?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- Um, no, it's more like you have to follow it.- Right.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- He's quite inquisitive, isn't he? - Yeah, they just scurry around.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08I'm amazed at William,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11because he has never seen a ferret before
0:17:11 > 0:17:14and I'm amazed at his confidence with it.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I wonder if you have proved to your mum
0:17:16 > 0:17:19that you'd be a responsible pet owner, William?
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Over at the cat room,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Faramaz's dad is needing to be convinced more.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24A lot more.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Initially, you said you like cats and you want to have a cat -
0:17:30 > 0:17:32and if you have a cat, what are you going to do with it?
0:17:32 > 0:17:37I'm going to feed it, play with it, um...clean it,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41and I'm going to spend less time watching TV or something.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44If I get a dog, I'm going to spend most of my time with it.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Either way, it's win-win.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49You think you can cope, to look after it very well?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Yeah, yeah - yes, yeah.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55The way you say "yeah", I'm not convinced.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Do you really like it?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00You're convinced you can look after the cat or dog, if you want to?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Yes, Daddy.- Thank you.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Well, we'll find out tomorrow
0:18:04 > 0:18:07if you managed to persuade your dad, Faramaz.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Nearby, Lauren's dad is being dogged by a few nerves.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16- Hello, you. Hiya.- She's fine, Dad - stroke her, pet her.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19My dad isn't fussed on dogs at all,
0:18:19 > 0:18:22because his mum, my nan,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25when she was a little girl, she got attacked by a dog.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27That's really put him off dogs.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Come on, Meadow.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33No need to worry Dad - Meadow is a very happy, friendly dog.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Good girl!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'm going to get it first.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43LAUGHTER
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Nice to meet you, my new friend.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55My dad literally is like a different person.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57He loves dogs now.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00I am loving all this animal love.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Over in the reptile room, having got over his snake fears...
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Lift, lift, all the way - that's it.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Bring this other hand in - good job.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Now lift her up - you're doing it...
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Oh!
0:19:14 > 0:19:16..Thomas is hoping Tweety Pie
0:19:16 > 0:19:19can snake his way into his mum's heart too.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- If you come over here...- No.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Just bend down a bit. Can you see that skin there?
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- No.- That little bit of skin there. - That's enough.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Calm down.- That is it.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34OK, we'll just take it slowly.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Great thing is, cos it's been fed today,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- it can't be held...- Brilliant!
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Hello.- Hello.- Hi. How are we doing? Seems very calm.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- Ah, look, you can just see... - I've had a look.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Yeah? What did you see? - Just a bit of red.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51That's it, yeah - it's a milk snake,
0:19:51 > 0:19:52so it's kind of black and white and red.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54It's not poisonous, that's a good thing.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- It's called Tweety Pie. - Brilliant.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Thomas, I'll leave you to it, you're the expert.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- See you later.- Thank you.- Bye.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03See? It's not so bad.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Just amazed really, I could not do it at all.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- I don't know how... I could not. - Yeah, see, I knew you couldn't.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- You're very brave. - You get used to it after a while.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Right.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I think if you were just locked in here for like a week
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- you'd get used to it. - THEY LAUGH
0:20:20 > 0:20:23But I don't have the key so I can't do that!
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Well done!
0:20:25 > 0:20:29It was fun for me but my mum doesn't really like snakes
0:20:29 > 0:20:31so it's very hard trying to...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34I kind of had to drag her in a bit in the beginning.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Meanwhile with Rosie the rat,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39it's looking like some close encounters
0:20:39 > 0:20:41are a little too close for comfort.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Why does it have to go on my shoulder? Argh!
0:20:45 > 0:20:46It's got very sharp claws!
0:20:46 > 0:20:48It won't do anything, just sit there.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Eurgh!
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Oh! Samuel!
0:20:52 > 0:20:54What is going on here?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Oh, my God! It's running around the back of my neck!
0:20:58 > 0:21:00You are doing fine.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03So Sam is definitely doing the right thing.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10That's it, Sam. Lift her up, support her bottom. Good job.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Today I have brought you a rather mushed-up banana.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17And what we are trying to do is just a bit of treat training.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Letting them feed either from the spoon or popping a bit
0:21:20 > 0:21:23of food on your finger, and letting them lick from your finger.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26OK? So would you like to offer a bit of food maybe,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28while she's sitting on Sam's shoulder?
0:21:28 > 0:21:29- Yeah.- How about that?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Just get a little bit of a scoop in there.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32She's going on a wander.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Here we go!
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Important thing, though, Mum, is just to have a little know
0:21:38 > 0:21:41that with rats, they are quite sensitive to loud noises,
0:21:41 > 0:21:42so lots of squeaks and squeals
0:21:42 > 0:21:44are going to make them quite worried.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47OK? And they really do sense how you're feeling about it,
0:21:47 > 0:21:51so the more relaxed you become, the more relaxed they become with you.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54And they're going to be a little more chilled and slowed down.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57So she definitely seems to be liking the banana today.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59So I'm going to leave you to it. Bye.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02You going to feed?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Yeah. Take her off.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Just hold her by the back of...?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Yeah, go under and then support her.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Whoa!- Stroke first, maybe then.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Oh, there we go.- Oh!
0:22:18 > 0:22:23Come here, my darling, there we go. That's good.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I gave you my best shot!
0:22:26 > 0:22:27They weren't as bad as I thought.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31But that crawling around the back of your neck is not particularly nice!
0:22:31 > 0:22:33But it was OK.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35You did very well, Mum.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Outside in the field, Lauren still has one thing to prove -
0:22:39 > 0:22:41that she can pick up number twos.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I need to overcome my fears of picking up the poo
0:22:43 > 0:22:47because that's the main reason why I'm not allowed a dog.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Cleaning up after a dog, it's a big issue,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51she has to learn to do it.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Dad? Come help me do this.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Oh, you know I'm not very good with that.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Oh, fine, I'll do it, OK.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02- WRETCHES - Urgh! Argh! It's wrong!
0:23:02 > 0:23:04You said you wanted to see her do it, Dad!
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Urgh! That's full of leaves!
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Eurgh! Dad! SHE GIGGLES
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Go away! Go away! Come on, let's go for a run!
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I never thought I'd see the day! Just don't come near me with it!
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- OK.- Stay over there.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25OK! But it does make me go, "Bleurgh!"
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Stop swinging it. It's not a toy.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32OK. You stay over that way.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Good girl.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Well done. Don't touch... Don't touch me!
0:23:38 > 0:23:41No, it's the other hand! It's this hand, don't worry.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43OK, well done.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45My right hand is my easiest hand.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- OK.- C'mon then!
0:23:47 > 0:23:49I was really proud of my dad today
0:23:49 > 0:23:53because he tried really hard and put in a lot of effort into trying
0:23:53 > 0:23:57to get along with my buddy, and now they are basically best friends.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59If you are watching this, well done, Dad.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05So this is almost it.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Tomorrow is the last day of Pet School.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10ALL: Aaaaw!
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Parents, have you enjoyed your visit?
0:24:13 > 0:24:14ALL: Yes!
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Brilliant. Loved it.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Obviously tomorrow there is a big decision to be made, right?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20You all know what's gonna happen?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23ALL: # Dun-dun-dun! #
0:24:23 > 0:24:27But there's still one thing left to help you make your big decision.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Marie, our Petspert, has got your end of school reports.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Hello, Pet Heads, hello, parents.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Ready to have your end of school reports?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Parents, take them home, have a good read through them
0:24:40 > 0:24:43and I think these should help you make your decision.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48- So, first up we have Thomas. - Thank you.- There you go.
0:24:48 > 0:24:54If they said yes, I'd be happy, I'd be clapping, I'd be smiling.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00I mean, if they said no, I think I'd probably burst into tears
0:25:00 > 0:25:05and probably just want to sit in a corner and cry.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12But that's life, Show must go on, as they say.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Sam's reports.- Thank you.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20At the minute I'm feeling a little bit anxious.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I want to find out what it says,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26but I'm just looking forward to the news.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Even if it's a no, I won't be disappointed.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Well, I'd be a bit disappointed.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Faramaz's as well.- Thank you.
0:25:35 > 0:25:42I feel nervous about the big decision because if they say no,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46I'll not cry, I'll be OK, I'll be looking at my shoes.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50But if they say yes I'd be literally jumping on the sofa,
0:25:50 > 0:25:51if that's allowed.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Chloe.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59I don't think I'm gonna get a pet, and that's really upsetting to know
0:25:59 > 0:26:04because I think I've worked really hard, and it's all for nothing.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- I've got Lauren's report. There you go.- Thank you.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13If my parents do say yes to having a pet
0:26:13 > 0:26:17I'd literally cry with happiness, I'd be so happy.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22But I'll be so sad if they say no, it's unbelievable.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Last but not least, we have Courtney's.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Thank you.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32I'm quite nervous in case my mum says no, because if she did
0:26:32 > 0:26:36I'd be really sad and I'd probably never talk to her ever again.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37But then if she said yes
0:26:37 > 0:26:41I'd probably be so happy I'd probably burst!
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- See you later. - ALL: Bye, Marie.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47So, parents, you've got a night to sleep on it.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50You cannot show your Pet Heads what's inside these reports.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52It's just for you to make your big decision.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53- No!- This is so bad!
0:26:53 > 0:26:56It's not unfair, this is the reality, what's happening.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Go get some sleep and we'll see you tomorrow.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- Off you go. - See you tomorrow.- See ya.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Our parents today really got to see
0:27:07 > 0:27:09just what our Pet Heads have been up to.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12And in 24 hours we are going to find out which of our Pet Heads
0:27:12 > 0:27:15are going to be new pet owners. I'm nervous for them.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18It's gonna be a dramatic day. Don't miss registration tomorrow,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20when we'll have all of this.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27Next time on Pet School, it's decision day.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Have our Pet Heads done enough to change their parents' minds?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35I've tried my hardest so take that into consideration.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39And who will be graduating from Pet Head to pet owner?
0:27:48 > 0:27:53Pet School, Day 9, morning assembly. 3...2...1...
0:27:53 > 0:27:54ALL CLAP
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Because today...is Parents' Day.
