On this week’s Parents’ Show, Vivien meets up with Dean, owner of Creature Comforts in Harpenden, a local pet supplies store which can cater for a range of animals extending from the normal domestic dogs and cats then ferrets, right through to the more exotic pets such as snakes, geckos and even maybe sugar gliders as pictured (yes, we had to look that one up too). Dean explains what parents should think about when their children ask for a tortoise, snake, or something more exotic, in terms of its maintenance costs, expected life span, feed costs, insurance and cages or in the case of reptiles, vivariums. In part 2, we welcome back our Duke of Edinburgh Silver students who are volunteering with the parents show, as they talk to Julius from the Super Soccer School. He tells the boys how team sport is good for fitness, self-confidence and social skills, as well as the mental and physical health benefits it brings.
