0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Woof!- Sssss!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Today I'm in Dalgety Bay to meet Charlie and his rabbits.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Let's go and find them!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Hi, Rory!- Hi, Charlie.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- And you must be Alfie.- Hi, Rory.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- And you must be Mum.- I am. Hi, Rory.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39- Would you like to come and see our rabbits?- I would love to, let's go!
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Wow! So this must be where your rabbits live.- Yeah.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- It's impressive, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Rabbits love to run, jump, hide, and stretch right out,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02so it's really important that they've got lots of space.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- You've done a good job of that, haven't you?- Yes.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Have you got a special name for this?- A rabbit hutch.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- I think it's more like a rabbit palace, don't you?- Yes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- There's a castle, is there a throne in there?- No.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- So, how many rabbits do you have? - Three.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- And what are their names? - Ivy, Minty, and Leila.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Who is who?- The white one is Minty,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27the reddish one is Ivy, and that one up there is Leila.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Wow, they are beautiful names and beautiful rabbits.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Do you know what sort of rabbits they are?- Mini rexes.- They are.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I'm very impressed that you know that.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41There are lots of different breeds of rabbit and mini rex is just one.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44We can tell these guys are mini rex because they've got
0:02:44 > 0:02:47very soft, velvety fur and sticky-up ears.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Let's see your sticky-up ears and your rabbity teeth.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52That's very good.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I'm very pleased that you've got three rabbits,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58because rabbits are social animals,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00which means they like to live in a group,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04and if they're alone they can get lonely, so that is excellent.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Are they friends?- Yes. - Do they play together?- Yes.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10They play tig and chase each other in the hutch.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Chase each other! A bit of tig.- Yes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17These are some cool rabbits. What do you love most about them?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20When they're in my living room, they jump onto my knee
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- and they make me all cosy. - Aw, cuddles.- Yes.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25That's so lovely, isn't it?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Well, I think your rabbits are fantastic
0:03:28 > 0:03:30and this is a serious rabbit palace.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Ferne, can you give us some rabbity facts about our new friends here?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- 'Of course, Rory!' - Moo!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41'One - there are lots of different types of rabbits.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45'Some are big and some are small.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49'Two - baby rabbits are called kittens or kits,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53'and they are born with their eyes closed and without fur.'
0:03:55 > 0:03:59'Three - rabbits' eyes are on the side of their head
0:03:59 > 0:04:03'and this helps them to see things all around them.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08'Four - rabbits are known for having very long ears.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10'They help them to hear danger,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13'and they also help to keep them cool.'
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Woof!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Rabbits can be brilliant pets,
0:04:23 > 0:04:27but they need lots of love, care and attention to keep them happy.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30What do you do to look after your rabbits, Charlie?
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- I clean their house every day. - It sounds like a lot of work.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- I think I can help you today. Shall we do that?- Yes.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- But where are the rabbits? - My mum put them in the rabbit run.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45Oh, yeah, there they are. Hey, guys! Right, we should get started.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- What are we going to do first? - Put on our gloves.- Good thinking.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Right, let's get to work.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- OK. So, will we sweep all of this up first?- Yeah.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Good sweeping.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Excellent. Let's get this nice and clean for them.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Rabbits love to feel safe, so this is perfect for them
0:05:08 > 0:05:11because there are lots of places for them to hide.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- How are you getting on down there? - Good.- Excellent.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19I'm finding a few poos up here. Just sweeping them up.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- It's heavy.- Oh, it is heavy. Right, let's get it all in here.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- We have to clean out their beds. - Of course we do.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Hay is not only food for them, but it can be bedding as well,
0:05:31 > 0:05:35so make sure you keep their feeding and sleeping area separate.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- Let's get this sorted. Do you want to grab that one over there?- Yes.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Great. There we go.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- Looking good.- Yes. - Right, let's put this in the bin.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Right, well done.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Look, the rabbits are doing fine in their pen for now.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- What have we got here? - Their bedding and hay.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14So we're going to fill these up with bedding and hay?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Right, let's bring the bedding here.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21You fill up these ones, I'll do this big one. Spread that out.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Nice one. Let's get this hay in.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27There we go.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- We need to save some for the bedding as well, don't we, in there?- Yes.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Let's pop them back in.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42- This will be nice and comfortable for them.- It definitely will be.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47So, who sleeps where, Charlie?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Minty sleeps there,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Leila sleeps in there,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- and Ivy sleeps in there sometimes and down there.- Nice and cosy.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59OK, that's the bed sorted, what do we need to do now?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- Fill up their water bottle. - Good thinking. There you go.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Let's go.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16There we go. That looks good.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Thank you.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Well done.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- There you go.- Cool.- Let's go.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Excellent. Very good.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- That water will help the hay go down, won't it?- Yes.- Marvellous.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37So, what do you feed your rabbits?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Grass, rabbit nuggets and special-treat carrots.- Of course.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43You know a lot about rabbits, don't you?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Eating grass and hay helps to keep rabbit tummies healthy
0:07:47 > 0:07:51and helps to wear down their teeth, which are constantly growing.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Things like carrot should only be a special treat because
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- they've got natural sugars in them. Shall we give them some food?- Yes.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Fill these up. Just a wee bit, isn't it?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06OK, that food looks good.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09So, we've got plenty of hay and bedding,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12we've got water, lots of food, what do we need to do now?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Put the rabbits back in the house and wash our hands.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Of course we do. Let's go.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26We've done a great job, Charlie. Your rabbits look like they love it.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Meow!
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Do you have a favourite out of your three rabbits?- Yes.- Who is it?- Ivy.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Ivy. I like Ivy a lot, too.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42We all know rabbits love to run and jump and hide,
0:08:42 > 0:08:47but if Ivy could do anything, what do you think she would do?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53If my pet could do anything,
0:08:53 > 0:08:57she would fight crime in New York City.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01She would jump from building to building
0:09:01 > 0:09:06and use her very long ears to hear what was happening in the city.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12She would find a giant carrot and pull it out of the ground.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH!
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Wow! Charlie, how lucky are you to have this awesome vegetable patch
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- in your garden?- Very lucky. - You certainly are.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- What have you got growing here? - Rocket, radish,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- raspberries and kale. - That sounds delicious.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40How about we dig up some of the vegetables,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42and hide them with some grass and hay,
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- and see if the rabbits can find them?- OK.- Let's get to work.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51- There's some radishes in there. - Yes.- Pull them up. Let's go for it.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Oh, nice.- Mine's a bit small.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Look at that one! It's big, isn't it?- Yes.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Now for some rocket. These leaves here.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- We just pick the leaves off.- OK.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Do you like rocket?- No.- No?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Well, I do, but I don't eat it that much.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- This is going to be so fun for the rabbits.- It definitely is.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- What will we go for now? - Kale.- A bit of kale.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- I think we can pull up the whole kale plant, don't you?- Yes.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22- Oh, it looks good. OK, shall we go and hide it?- Yes.- Come on!
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- We should probably wash it first. - Good idea.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30We've got all these vegetables now, before we hide them,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- let's wash and chop them. What do you think?- Yes.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36OK. Let's get to work. You wash and I'll chop.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- These have lots of soil on them. - Yeah, give them a good wash.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46So, Charlie, rabbits are herbivores,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- do you know what that means? - They eat leaves and plants.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Absolutely correct.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53- Last kale.- Great.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Right, you can help me rip some of this up now.- OK.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Good work.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Right, that's the last bit of radish.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Shall we go and hide it? - Yes.- Come on.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Right.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14So, do you want to put the things in the boxes?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Right, let's hide them. Now, no peeking, Minty, OK?
0:11:18 > 0:11:19OK.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- I'm going to put some under this. Do you see that pink tunnel?- Yep.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- I'm going to pop some in there. In that turret there.- Yeah.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- I'm going to put some up high. - Yeah.- Yeah, up here.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40So, if we put that radish in there, then we could put that there.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- Oh, and they have to pull it out? - Yeah.- That is very clever.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Let's see how smart they are.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Look who found it straight away! RORY LAUGHS
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- She was hiding in there.- Sneaky!
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Rabbits are very clever animals,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59so hiding some leaves like this is a great way
0:11:59 > 0:12:03of keeping them entertained and stopping them from getting bored,
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- and it also gives them some exercise too.- Good work, Leila.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Oh, Minty, have you found something?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Ivy has got the one on the bridge! - Oh, yeah! So she does.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- She knows it's in that one. - Come on, pull it!
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- RORY GASPS - She got it!- Well done! Look!
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Well done, bunnies, great work.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25How clever are you? I think they've really enjoyed that.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26And you know what?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30I've really enjoyed meeting you and your cuddly bunnies.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- Thank you very much for having me. - You're welcome.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43My pet and me!
0:12:44 > 0:12:46HORSE WHINNIES
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- Hi, Ferne.- Hi, Rory. You look like you've had a great day.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- What have you been up to? - I had an awesome time.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- It was so much fun.- Oh, fantastic. I'm just giving Sunny a brush,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- because he was a bit mucky. - He looks spectacular!- Thanks.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Pets are brilliant, but remember,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07you shouldn't touch an animal unless the owner says it's OK.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10But two pets you can definitely play with are our ours.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Go on the CBeebies website and play the My Pet And Me game.
