0:00:080:00:10

-What happened to your arm, Fern?

-I hurt it, but it's OK.

0:01:020:01:05

Today, we're in Ashford to meet Max and Poppy and their pets.

0:01:100:01:14

I cannot wait to see what they are.

0:01:140:01:16

-BOTH:

-Hi, Fern!

-Hi! How are you? You're Max and Poppy?

-Yeah.

0:01:220:01:27

I hear you have some interesting pets. Where are they?

0:01:270:01:30

-BOTH:

-In here!

-Shall we go see them?

-BOTH:

-Yes.

0:01:300:01:34

-Come in. I bet you can't find them.

-You bet I can't find them?

0:01:360:01:40

-OK, how many do you have?

-BOTH:

-Two.

-I'm looking for two pets in here?

0:01:400:01:45

-Can you give me a hint what they look like?

-They look quite green.

0:01:450:01:49

-They look green.

-They look quite long.

-Green and long.

0:01:490:01:52

-They've got antennae.

-They have two antennae?

-Yes.

0:01:520:01:56

OK, OK, this is really hard.

0:01:560:01:58

-Long and green and they're in with these green leaves?

-Yes.

0:01:580:02:02

-Can you help me?

-Yes.

-You see one? Which one? Where?

0:02:020:02:07

-There. Near the leaves and the sticks.

-Is that one there?

0:02:070:02:10

They're about that long? It's a stick insect, isn't it?

0:02:100:02:14

-BOTH:

-Yes.

-You have two stick insects as pets. That's really good.

0:02:140:02:18

-And what are their names?

-BOTH:

-Sticky and Twig.

-Sticky and Twig?

0:02:180:02:22

Those are brilliant names for stick insects.

0:02:220:02:25

-They were very hard to find.

-Yes.

0:02:250:02:27

What's it called when they're difficult to find?

0:02:270:02:30

-BOTH:

-Camouflage.

-Camouflage. That's right.

0:02:300:02:33

And camouflage means they're good at hiding,

0:02:330:02:36

and so they hide from animals like birds that eat them.

0:02:360:02:40

Can you see them climbing around? Do they move around their tank?

0:02:400:02:44

Yes, they climb up with these sucker things.

0:02:440:02:46

They've got suckers and claws that help them climb.

0:02:460:02:50

-They climb the glass and other branches?

-Yes.

0:02:500:02:53

Oh, they're really lovely.

0:02:530:02:55

Rory, can you tell us fun facts about our sticky friends?

0:02:550:03:00

Of course, Fern.

0:03:000:03:03

There are lots of different types of stick insect.

0:03:030:03:06

They can be different sizes and colours and some even have prickles.

0:03:060:03:11

Many stick insects rock from side to side to make themselves

0:03:140:03:17

look more like sticks or leaves swaying in the breeze.

0:03:170:03:23

Sometimes stick insects will stay very, very still and play dead

0:03:230:03:27

so that other creatures won't bother them.

0:03:270:03:31

It's very important to look after stick insects carefully

0:03:370:03:41

because they're in a tank

0:03:410:03:43

and they're entirely dependent on their owners.

0:03:430:03:46

-So, what you do to look after Sticky and Twig?

-We clear out the tank.

0:03:460:03:51

-OK, and how often do you do that?

-Once a week.

0:03:510:03:55

-Shall we get started?

-BOTH:

-Yes.

-That one is actually Twig.

0:03:550:04:01

We'll put them in here to be safe.

0:04:010:04:03

-This one's Sticky?

-Yes. Sticky.

-Here we go.

0:04:060:04:09

Put you nice and safely in there with your friend.

0:04:090:04:12

OK, shall we put the lid on so they don't escape? Be very, very gentle.

0:04:120:04:17

Shall we take out all these old privet leaves

0:04:170:04:20

-so we can put in the nice new ones?

-Yes.

-Thank you, Max.

0:04:200:04:28

I have to be very gentle, don't I?

0:04:280:04:30

Because there's not only poos on this paper...

0:04:300:04:33

-BOTH:

-There's eggs.

-There's eggs.

0:04:330:04:36

So, are we going to pick out the eggs?

0:04:360:04:40

And put them in here so they can join the rest of the eggs.

0:04:400:04:44

The eggs are kept in the jar until they hatch into baby stick insects.

0:04:440:04:48

The eggs are round and the poos are long and thin.

0:04:480:04:52

-Another egg.

-I picked an egg up.

0:04:520:04:54

Here's another one. There could be more.

0:04:540:04:57

-So, we put in new kitchen roll?

-BOTH:

-Yes.

0:04:570:05:01

And their nice fresh water so they can drink,

0:05:010:05:05

-and the final fun bit - their leaves!

-Privet leaves!

0:05:050:05:11

Turn it into a jungle.

0:05:110:05:14

You must put the privet branches in the water

0:05:140:05:16

because if the stick insect falls in it wouldn't be able to get out

0:05:160:05:20

-so it can climb out using these.

-Sticky will love his house.

-Done!

0:05:200:05:28

-Done! Are we done?

-BOTH:

-No! We need to spray it with water!

-OK!

0:05:280:05:34

It's very important to spray their tank with water to keep it moist,

0:05:340:05:39

or else the stick insects might dry out.

0:05:390:05:41

Make sure you get all the leaves so they can have water to drink.

0:05:410:05:45

-Shall we put them in and see how happy they are?

-Yes!

-All right.

0:05:480:05:52

So, here you go. Here's one of them. Put it in the middle.

0:05:520:05:57

-What do you think? There? Is that good?

-Yes.

0:05:580:06:00

-Do you think they're happy there?

-Yes.

0:06:000:06:03

-All done!

-Yes!

0:06:030:06:06

Good job. Well done.

0:06:070:06:10

It is now playtime

0:06:190:06:21

and we have Sticky out for a little walk on our hands.

0:06:210:06:26

-What we have to do when we hold Sticky?

-Be careful.

-We do, don't we?

0:06:260:06:30

She's very, very delicate

0:06:300:06:32

and so you never pick up a stick insect or else you could hurt them.

0:06:320:06:36

Instead, you let them walk onto your hand. Who would like to hold her?

0:06:360:06:41

Would you? All right, Max, you're first.

0:06:410:06:43

Put your hand there. Let her walk on.

0:06:430:06:45

-She's all tickly, isn't she?

-Yes.

0:06:450:06:48

-We'll pass you on to Poppy. Would you like to hold her?

-Yes.

0:06:480:06:53

If we put your hand out and, hopefully, she'll walk on.

0:06:530:06:56

-Come on, Sticky, come onto my hand.

-She's doing the Sticky dance.

0:06:560:07:02

She is doing the Sticky dance. Shaking a little bit.

0:07:020:07:06

-What's your favourite thing about Sticky?

-She tickles me.

0:07:060:07:10

She does tickle. Max, what's your favourite thing about Sticky?

0:07:100:07:14

-She's good at hiding.

-She is very good at hiding.

0:07:140:07:17

-Can you hide as well as Sticky?

-Yeah.

0:07:170:07:19

How about we play hide-and-seek and see who can hide just like Sticky?

0:07:190:07:24

-At the woods!

-At the woods? That sounds good. Shall we put her back?

0:07:240:07:28

Come on, Sticky. We'll put you back in your house.

0:07:280:07:31

There you go.

0:07:310:07:33

-Bye! See you later!

-BOTH:

-Bye, Sticky!

-Bye! Let's go!

0:07:340:07:41

-ALL:

-Ta-da!

-Do you like our outfits?

0:07:410:07:45

We thought that we would dress up

0:07:450:07:47

and try and camouflage just like Sticky and Twig.

0:07:470:07:50

-So, shall we go and play hide-and-seek?

-Yes.

-Let's go!

0:07:500:07:54

Where are they?

0:08:000:08:02

It's hard to find them

0:08:080:08:10

because they're camouflaged and blend into the trees.

0:08:100:08:14

Found you!

0:08:140:08:15

-That was an amazing hiding place! Good job!

-Let's go and find Poppy.

0:08:150:08:21

Good idea! Come on!

0:08:210:08:23

Where is she? She's so good at hiding.

0:08:290:08:31

I think I'll be able to find her.

0:08:310:08:35

-Found you!

-Found you!

0:08:350:08:38

Hi! Amazing hiding, Poppy! Well done! Good job!

0:08:380:08:43

-High fives all-round! Is it my turn to hide now?

-Yes.

-Yes.

0:08:430:08:46

-Will you count for me?

-BOTH:

-Yes.

-Ready?

0:08:460:08:49

-Go!

-BOTH:

-One, two, three...

0:08:490:08:53

-BOTH:

-Ten! Ready or not here we come.

0:08:560:08:59

-Where could she be?

-I don't know.

0:09:020:09:06

She should be here somewhere.

0:09:060:09:09

-BOTH:

-Found you! Found you!

-Yeah! Great job, you guys! Well done!

0:09:090:09:16

That was an amazing game of hide-and-seek!

0:09:160:09:19

I still think that Sticky

0:09:190:09:21

is a bit better at hiding than we are, though.

0:09:210:09:24

-Yes, Sticky's the best.

-Yeah, she is.

0:09:240:09:27

-Sticky and Twig are so good at climbing, aren't they?

-Yes.

0:09:320:09:36

-What do they do?

-They go do-do-do-do-do!

0:09:360:09:40

If Sticky and Twig had jobs, what would their jobs be?

0:09:400:09:45

DRUMROLL

0:09:450:09:47

If my pet can do any job, she would be a window cleaner.

0:09:470:09:53

She would climb up really tall buildings,

0:09:530:09:57

and she would have sponges in each of her hands

0:09:570:10:01

and on her antennae

0:10:010:10:04

and she would clean all of the windows very, very fast.

0:10:040:10:08

I've had such a lovely time meeting Sticky and Twig.

0:10:120:10:15

I'm really going to miss your stick insects when I go.

0:10:150:10:18

-Why don't we make some?

-I would love to make some stick insects!

0:10:180:10:23

-How do we do that?

-Well, we get some pipe cleaners and twigs,

0:10:230:10:27

-and we tie the pipe cleaners up.

-Will you show me?

0:10:270:10:31

-Shall we get started?

-Yes!

0:10:310:10:33

-Is that mine?

-Yes. Pull sticks off the things that you don't need.

-OK.

0:10:360:10:42

-Poppy, this one's yours.

-Shall I use these as the antenna?

-BOTH:

-Yes.

0:10:420:10:49

-Stick insects need six legs, don't they?

-Yes.

0:10:490:10:52

-Do think that's long enough?

-Yes.

-Yes?

0:10:520:10:55

-We need knees and feet, don't we, Poppy?

-Yes.

-What do you think, Max?

0:10:550:10:59

Would you like to help me make knees and feet?

0:10:590:11:02

-Shall I make you a funny one?

-Funny legs! Thank you.

0:11:020:11:07

Oh, yours is amazing, Poppy. What about eyes?

0:11:090:11:12

-OK, if Max can pass that to me.

-Thank you, Max.

0:11:120:11:16

-What do you think?

-They're looking very good.

-It's good?

0:11:200:11:26

Oh, look, they're moving like stick insects move.

0:11:260:11:29

-Are we going to name them?

-Yes.

-I would like to name mine Rory.

0:11:290:11:34

-I would like to name my Twiglet.

-Twiglet? Rory and Twiglet.

0:11:340:11:38

I'm going to show them to Sticky and Twig and see what they think.

0:11:380:11:42

-What do you think?

-What do you think?

0:11:420:11:44

-I think Sticky and Twig really liked Twiglet.

-Me too!

-I hope so.

0:11:540:11:59

I hope they like Rory as well.

0:11:590:12:01

I have had such an amazing time meeting Sticky and Twig.

0:12:010:12:05

It's been fantastic.

0:12:050:12:07

Thank you so much for inviting me to spend the day with you

0:12:070:12:10

and your stick insects.

0:12:100:12:12

My Pet and Me!

0:12:140:12:18

-Hi, Rory.

-Hi, Fern. How was your day?

0:12:180:12:21

It was brilliant. Hi, Monty. I didn't see you there.

0:12:210:12:24

We're just having a wee cuddle.

0:12:240:12:26

It was such a great day. Let me tell you all about it.

0:12:260:12:29

Today, I met Max and Poppy and their pet stick insects, Sticky and Twig.

0:12:290:12:34

We cleaned out their tank and took them out into the garden

0:12:340:12:37

where we played with them for a while.

0:12:370:12:40

Next, we dressed up in camouflage

0:12:400:12:42

and played hide-and-seek in the woods,

0:12:420:12:45

but Sticky and Twig are much better at hiding than we were.

0:12:450:12:49

-Wow! That sounds fantastic, and you made some great new friends.

-I did.

0:12:510:12:55

It's important to remember that pets are great,

0:12:550:12:58

but you should ask the owners if it's OK to touch them.

0:12:580:13:01

One pet you definitely can play with is ours.

0:13:010:13:04

Go to the CBeebies website and play the My Pet and Me game.

0:13:040:13:08

We really love meeting you and your pets

0:13:080:13:10

and I've had such an amazing day.

0:13:100:13:12

# Today we met

0:13:160:13:19

# A lovely pet

0:13:190:13:21

# We see how much you care for them

0:13:210:13:24

# Thank you so much for sharing them

0:13:240:13:28

# Time for us to

0:13:280:13:31

# Just remind you

0:13:310:13:33

# After you've played with your pet

0:13:360:13:39

# It doesn't matter what pets you've got

0:13:390:13:42

# You might have one You might not

0:13:420:13:45

# It's still fun finding out what having a pet is all about

0:13:450:13:51

# My pet My pet and me

0:13:510:13:54

# My pet My pet and me
