0:01:11 > 0:01:15Today we are in Wolverhampton to meet Kayleigh and her pet.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Let's go and see who she wants us to meet. Come on.
0:01:25 > 0:01:31- Hello, Kayleigh.- Hello, Rory.- And you must be Mum, hello.- Hello.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- Come inside and meet my pet. - I'd love to, I'm so excited!
0:01:43 > 0:01:48- Oh, I can see a tank. Who lives in here then?- My tortoise.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- Oh, I love tortoises. Is that a boy or girl?- A boy.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- What's his name?- Titch.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Hello, Titch. That is a marvellous name for tortoise.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03- Oh, he's gorgeous. Do you know how old Titch is?- 19.- Wow!
0:02:03 > 0:02:05He's nearly as old as me.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Some tortoises can live for over 50 years.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- So what do you like most about Titch?- When I hold him.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Yes, shall we do that now? - Yes.- OK, let's do it.
0:02:16 > 0:02:23- First we need to put our gloves on. - Good idea. Here's your gloves.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25And here's mine.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Tortoises can carry a bug, which doesn't hurt them but
0:02:32 > 0:02:33can be bad for our tummies.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37When you're handling a tortoise, put on some gloves.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39When you finish, throw the gloves in the bin
0:02:39 > 0:02:43and wash your hands with some antibacterial soap.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Hello, Titch. Look at you.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54You're really good at holding him, aren't you?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56You need to hold tortoises properly.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Look how Kayleigh's holding Titch.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Thumbs on top and fingers spread out underneath.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04That makes sure that you won't drop him.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Should we put him on the ground?
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Look at his shell.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16That looks like chocolate and caramels, doesn't it?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Tortoises are interesting for all sorts of reasons.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Fearne, can you give us some tortoise-y facts, please?
0:03:24 > 0:03:29Of course, Rory. One. Tortoises like Titch are quite small.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34But some tortoises, like this one, are really big.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Two.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Look at this tortoise's mouth!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41That hooked part is sometimes called a beak.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45It helps it eat hard things like nuts and fruit.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Three.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Tortoises have been on the planet for a very long time.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53They were even around at the time of the dinosaurs.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Care Time!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Caring for your pet is very important.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06And Titch is no different from any other pet.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09These bubbles are going to get these rocks nice and clean,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- aren't they?- Yes.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Shiny and bright, I think that will make Titch very happy.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20Tell me what the different rocks are for. What's this one I've got for?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Swimming.- Swimming? So does water go in here?- Yes.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- He's looking very happy in his box there, isn't he?- Yes.
0:04:28 > 0:04:34- Right, that's nice and clean. You drying yours off?- Yes.- Thank you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I'll dry that.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42It's looking spotless, sparkling clean.
0:04:42 > 0:04:48I'll take the tortoise back in his tank when we're all finished.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Perfect.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Let's go and do that and get them all back in the tank.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55And let's see if Titch wants to explore.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00There we go.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Perfect.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09It looks like Titch is really excited to have a soak, look!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19There he goes. That was a nice swim.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Shall we give him something to eat now? Yeah.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33- So is this apple a snack for me?- The tortoise.- Oh.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I guess he does need something to eat.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40- Is apple one of his favourites? - Yes.- Oh, delicious.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45- And what are you doing? - I'm washing the dandelion leaves.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Nice, fresh leaves. Nice, fresh fruit.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52We will only give Titch some of this fruit,
0:05:52 > 0:05:56as too many sweet foods like this can be bad for tortoises.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- I think Titch is going to be very happy, don't you?- Yeah.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Shall we start making up a salad bowl here?- Yeah.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05What do we put in first?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- The strawberries.- The strawberries.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Pass that over. We're going to put some tomatoes in, too?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Right, that looks almost done. What's missing?
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- The Dandelion leaves. - Yes, of course! How could I forget?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28We only put a few on because the tortoise might get big.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32That's right. We need to give him a nice, healthy, balanced diet.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- And there is something special that we need to add at the end.- This.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39This special powder.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43And this special powder is for his shell, isn't it?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46So, I'll sprinkle a little bit of this on. There we go.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Right! Shall we go and see if he's hungry?- Yes.- OK.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Where do we put the food then?- In the tank.- In the tank? Just here?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Yeah. OK.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Look! Kayleigh, look at this.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Play Time!
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Playing with your pets and giving them plenty of exercise
0:07:27 > 0:07:29is just as important as caring for them.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Do you like to play with Titch, Kayleigh?- Yes.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- What sort of games do you like to play?- Hide and seek.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Oh, I love hide and seek! Shall we play that now? Right, OK.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Let's count to 10.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47One, two, three, four, five,
0:07:47 > 0:07:53six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Titch?
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Titch?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Found him! What a great game. Hello, I found you.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20We have brought Titch out to the back garden to have a wee explore.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Tortoises have a very strong jaw and neck because they don't have teeth.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32It allows them to tear and pull things,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34just like these leaves down here.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Wee!
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Wow, I think Titch is enjoying exploring the garden, don't you?
0:08:53 > 0:08:58- Yes.- Shall we see how long it takes him to meet us at the Wendy house?
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Come on, let's go.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- BOTH: Come on, Titch.- Come on!
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Come on, Titch.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Titch, come here, get a move on.- Come on!
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Why do you think he is so slow?- Because of his shell.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Yes, their shell is very heavy, indeed.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27That might sound like a bad thing, but actually, it keeps them safe.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30When in danger they can pop their head, legs, tail
0:09:30 > 0:09:32inside the shell.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Other animals have to run from danger to find a hiding place.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40But tortoises carry a hiding place around with them on their backs.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Here he is! Well done, Titch.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45That took a wee while, but you made it in the end.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49So if he could do anything, what do you think he'd do?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55If my pet Titch could do anything,
0:09:55 > 0:10:01he would go out on his roller-skates, all the way to Curtain Land.
0:10:01 > 0:10:07He would skate in and out of the curtains and hide behind some, too.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12He would bring back purple curtains for his tank to shut at night.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23We've come to Kayleigh's nursery to introduce Titch to some friends.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I think your friends are going to
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- love having some fun with Titch, don't you?- Yes.- OK, what way is it?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- That way.- Great. Come on, Titch.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Guess what, children?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43We've got two special visitors today with Kayleigh.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48- We've got Rory.- Hello! - And Kayleigh's special pet.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52See if you can guess what sort of pet it is from my mime.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54LAUGHTER
0:11:00 > 0:11:03A tortoise!
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Yes! A tortoise. Excellent.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- Who would like to make their very own tortoise today?- Me!
0:11:10 > 0:11:14We've got some egg boxes here. And that's like their shell.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17We're going to paint them with different colours,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20make them nice and bright and wonderful.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Let's get painting!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Oh, wow, that looks great.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Let's take our tortoises for a walk.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52As slow as a tortoise can go.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Do you like my tortoise, Titch?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- What do you think, Titch? Do you think he likes them?- Yes.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06It's just like looking in a mirror isn't it, Titch?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Kayleigh, I've had a wonderful time.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Thank you very much for introducing me to tortoise Titch.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14It's been a great day.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19My Pet and Me!
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Hi, Rory.- Hello, Fearne. - How was your day?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28It was fantastic, wait till I tell you all about it.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Today I met Kayleigh and her tortoise Titch.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34She showed me how she cleans out his bowls.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36And Titch had a lovely swim in one of them.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40We made him a yummy salad as a treat, then we played hide and seek.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Later, Titch explored the garden.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47We took Titch to meet Kayleigh's friends and we made our very own
0:12:47 > 0:12:48egg box tortoises.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51That sounds like fun. You made some great friends, too.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I really did. And pets are great.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56But if you're going to touch an animal,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58get permission from the owner first.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01One pet you can always play with is ours,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04go onto the CBeebies website and play the My Pet And Me game.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06What a fantastic day we've had.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09We love meeting you and your pets.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15# Today we met OINK OINK
