0:00:04 > 0:00:06Hello and welcome to My Pet And Me.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09- I'm Rory.- And I'm Ferne. We've been hoping you'd join us.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12We've been getting the barn ready for the animals.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Lots of different animals make great pets.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18- We love meeting yours.- We do. What's your plans?
0:00:18 > 0:00:22I'm off to meet some new friends and you can come with me. Let's go.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23- Have fun.- See ya!
0:00:25 > 0:00:27# My pet, my pet and me
0:00:28 > 0:00:30# My pet, my pet and me
0:00:31 > 0:00:33# Down every street
0:00:34 > 0:00:37# Are pets to meet
0:00:37 > 0:00:40# Some big, some small, some scaly, some furry
0:00:40 > 0:00:43# Some keep very still, some are always in a hurry
0:00:43 > 0:00:45# Some have four paws
0:00:46 > 0:00:48# Some have sharp claws
0:00:48 > 0:00:51# Some quack, some bark, some purr,
0:00:51 > 0:00:53# Some moo, some grunt, some squawk,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55# Some cock-a-doodle-do!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57# My pet, my pet and me
0:00:58 > 0:01:00# My pet, my pet and me
0:01:01 > 0:01:04# My pet, my pet and me
0:01:04 > 0:01:06# Have you met my pet and me? #
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hello. Today we are in Cheshire
0:01:12 > 0:01:15to meet Esme and her very special pet, a bearded dragon.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Let's go and say hello, shall we? Come on.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23- Hi, Mum.- Hi, Rory.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Hi, Esme.- Hello, Rory.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Do you want to see my pet?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Yes, please. Let's go.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Hop up there.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Well, a bearded dragon.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- What is your bearded dragon called? - Bingham.- That's a lovely name.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Is Bingham a boy or a girl? - We don't know.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49That's right. It's very hard to tell if bearded dragons are boys or girls
0:01:49 > 0:01:53until they are older. You can take them to a vet to find out.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Shall we do that later?- Yes. - Sounds fun. How old is Bingham?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- Eight months. - So still quite young? Yeah.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02And what do you love about Bingham?
0:02:02 > 0:02:06I like it when she crawls on me.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08When she crawls on you? All over you?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Where does she crawl?- My tummy.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14On your tummy? Is it tickly? Do you laugh?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18There's a very important question I haven't asked you.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Do you know why they are called bearded dragons?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Cos it's got a beard!- Yes.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Do you know anything else that's got a beard?
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Yes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30What do you think of this beard? Who's got a nicer beard,
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Bingham or me?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Oh, thank you.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Bearded dragons are called that
0:02:35 > 0:02:38cos they've got a different beard from me.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41If you look closely, under the mouth of a bearded dragon,
0:02:41 > 0:02:45you'll see lots of spiky scales and that's where they get their name.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48If they feel in danger, that puffs out big
0:02:48 > 0:02:51and that's why they're called bearded dragons.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Ferne, can you give us some more fun facts about our new beardy friend?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Of course, Rory.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Bearded dragons are reptiles and they're cold-blooded.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04This means that they need to lie in the sunshine or warm places
0:03:04 > 0:03:07to heat up so they can move.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10When a bearded dragon lies in the sunshine,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12it is called basking.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17This funny hole is actually an ear.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Bearded dragons have very good hearing to help keep them safe.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Bearded dragons are famous for their spikes
0:03:26 > 0:03:30and if they feel in danger then they will display them
0:03:30 > 0:03:32to frighten off any predators.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Bearded dragons are known as exotic pets
0:03:46 > 0:03:50because they come from somewhere very different from here.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53That means it takes a lot of time, care and commitment
0:03:53 > 0:03:55to look after them properly.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59We can see here we've got a lovely tank. Has this got a special name?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Vivarium.- Yes, of course, A vivarium.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05This is where you should keep lizards,
0:04:05 > 0:04:06bearded dragons and snakes.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08And if you look inside,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11you can see there's loads of space for Bingham to run around.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Lots of places to hide and nice places to relax.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17What temperature is it in here? Is it warm or cold?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- That side is cold and this side is warm.- Oh!
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- What is making this side warm? - It's got a big lamp.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26That's right, a big hot lamp.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27That is very important
0:04:27 > 0:04:31because bearded dragons come from a very warm part of the world,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34so we need to keep the tank nice and toasty.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36It's good that you've got a cold part.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- If he gets too warm he has to go into the cold.- Yeah.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44A little chill-out zone. And if she gets too cold, where does she go?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- She goes to the lamp again.- Yeah.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48And what does she do under the lamp?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Sheds her skin.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Yes, of course, these guys shed their skin, don't they?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58It's perfectly natural for bearded dragons to shed their skin.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00When they are younger they shed it more often
0:05:00 > 0:05:03cos they are growing so quickly.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'm going to take some of this skin out
0:05:05 > 0:05:07so we can look at it more closely. Wow.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Look at that. Isn't it cool?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- What does it feel like? - It feels rough.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Yes, it feels rough, doesn't it? No wonder.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Bingham is very scaly, isn't she?
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Mum is going to take Bingham and keep her nice and safe
0:05:20 > 0:05:22while we clean the tank out.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Good girl.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28What shall we do first, then?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Clean out the bowls.- Good thinking.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36Right, let me just pick up some of these bits of spinach here.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Looking a bit crusty. I think we need to change those.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Put that over here.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45This wee bowl here. I'll pass that over to you as well.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Right, and we've got a big heavy bowl over there.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Right, we've got the bowls out.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Time to clean them out then. Let's go.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Right, I will help you down first.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Right, we need to get these bowls emptied out and cleaned, don't we?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12There we go.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14And now this old spinach.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Right, that's that old stuff. I've emptied the water out.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Let's give it a clean.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20This nice warm water.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25OK. You dry that one off.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Nice and dry. Good work.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31And I'll use one of these special wipes
0:06:31 > 0:06:34afterwards to take any nasty bugs off.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37There we go.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Give it a good scrub.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43OK. Dry that one off now.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48OK. And now for the last one.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50That really needs a wash.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54That needs a proper clean, doesn't it? Right. Good scrub.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58That's looking good now.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Drying.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- And a little wipe...- Yep. - ..just to make sure.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Right. What goes in the big bowl?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Fresh water.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Right, let's put that in now.
0:07:18 > 0:07:24- Nice. Well done. OK.- Now we need some spinach in that one.- Some spinach.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26You going to put that in?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I like spinach. Do you?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- No.- I love spinach! That looks like plenty, doesn't it?
0:07:32 > 0:07:37- Now we need some clean calcium in there.- Of course.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40This white powder here. And why is the calcium important?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Because her bones will go all soft.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Yes. If she doesn't have enough calcium,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48her bones will not be strong enough.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Very important. Now, I heard Bingham has a very special diet.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54What food do you feed Bingham?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Worms for a special treat.- Oh.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Only for a special treat, though?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Crickets.- Crickets?- Grasshoppers.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04How many crickets does she eat a day?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- 12.- Each day?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Sounds delicious.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- What do you think?- No.- Not for you.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15And it's very important to get an adult to do that feeding as well.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- Right, shall we take all these things back...- Yeah!- ..to the vivarium?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24OK. There we go.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Now, what are we going to do next?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Let's get mealworms for Bingham for a treat.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Yes, that sounds good.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Looks like we've got some here.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Oh, wow. This is a very special treat, isn't it?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Where are you going to put them? - In there.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42So you put them on top of the spinach.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Will that mean that she will eat it as well?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Yep, she'll eat the spinach.- OK.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Now, we've got everything in here.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Someone is missing.- Bingham!- Yes.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Do you think Mum can bring Bingham through?
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Hello, Bingham.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Oh, wow.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03You've got some nice new calcium powder in there,
0:09:03 > 0:09:08lots of food, plenty of fresh water and all her bowls are nice and clean.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- What do we have to do now? - Wash our hands!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Yes, come on.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24If Bingham could do anything, anything at all,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26what do you think she would do?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30If my pet could do anything,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33she'll go to a wishing tree
0:09:33 > 0:09:35and she'll make a wish.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38She will wish to have wings
0:09:38 > 0:09:44and she'll fly to my tall purple castle in the sky.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50At the castle she will have tea and cakes with the king and queen.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00We've come to meet Molly,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03who's a vet with a special interest in exotic reptiles.
0:10:03 > 0:10:09We're going to finally find out if Bingham is a boy or a girl. Come on.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Hello, Rory. Hello, Esme.- Hello, Molly.- And who have we got here?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Bingham.- Bingham. Oh.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20This is a beautiful bearded dragon.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Do you know how old she is? - Eight months.- Eight months.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Right, I think we need to check
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- whether Bingham's a boy or a girl, don't we?- Yes.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32OK, I'm just going to pick her up and we'll have a look
0:10:32 > 0:10:33and see if we can tell.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Oh, right. Now, I'm looking at Bingham
0:10:37 > 0:10:39and can you see those little dots?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43They're called pores
0:10:43 > 0:10:45and that means that Bingham is a boy.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48THEY GASP
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Wow.- Uh-oh.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52We have been calling Bingham a girl all this time
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- and actually it's a boy. - It's a boy.- Wow.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58So, shall we listen to his heart?
0:10:58 > 0:11:02A lizard heartbeat. This is exciting.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Now, can you hear in there?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I can hear the heartbeat.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Fantastic.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14HEARTBEAT
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- I think it sounds fine.- Good. That's the main thing, Molly.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25If you think it's fine, we are happy, aren't we?
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Now shall we clip his nails? - Why are you clipping its nails?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32So they're not too sharp when you hold him.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Bingham has ten claws on his front feet and ten on his back.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39They are longer than our nails.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43So, now we know Bingham is a boy and he is a very healthy bearded dragon.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- Well done, Bingham. Thank you, Molly.- You're welcome.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- It was nice to meet him.- Thank you. We better get him home now.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Let's go.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Esme, thank you very much for letting me meet
0:11:56 > 0:11:59your wonderful bearded dragon, Bingham.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Have you had a wonderful time?- Yeah! Thank you, Rory.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04You're very welcome.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07I'm so glad we got to find out that Bingham is a boy.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08He's amazing, isn't he?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14My pet and me!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Hi, Ferne.- Hi, Rory. You've got a big smile.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- What've you been up to?- Oh, I've had a great time with my new friends.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- It was so much fun.- That's fantastic.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Rosie and Millie are just getting a bit of a brush.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- Do you want to help?- Definitely. It looks like you need a hand.- I do.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Lots of tangles in here. Here we go, Rosie.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Pets are brilliant, but remember you shouldn't touch an animal
0:12:42 > 0:12:44unless the owner says it's OK.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Two pets you can definitely play with are ours.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Go to the CBeebies's website and play the My Pet And Me game.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Thanks for spending time with us. We hope you've had lots of fun too.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59# Today we met
0:12:59 > 0:13:02# A lovely pet
0:13:02 > 0:13:05# We see how much you care for them
0:13:05 > 0:13:08# Thank you so much for sharing them
0:13:08 > 0:13:11# Time for us to
0:13:11 > 0:13:14# Just remind you
0:13:14 > 0:13:17# After you've played with your pet
0:13:17 > 0:13:20# Wash your hands, don't forget
0:13:20 > 0:13:23# It doesn't matter what pets you've got
0:13:23 > 0:13:26# You might have one, you might not
0:13:26 > 0:13:29# It's still fun finding out
0:13:29 > 0:13:32# What having a pet is all about
0:13:32 > 0:13:35# My pet, my pet and me
0:13:35 > 0:13:38# My pet, my pet and me
0:13:38 > 0:13:40# My pet, my pet and me
0:13:40 > 0:13:44# Come back and see my pet and me. #
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Bye!
