Our PetsUnit 1 Week 3

What kinds of pets do you know? How do you care for them?

Pets are fun, but they also need good care . Hamsters make

excellent pets. Many families keep hamsters as pets, and some

classrooms do, too.

Small, furry hamsters are fun to watch. They love to run on a

wheel in their cage. This is how they exercise. Some people put their

hamster inside a special ball to exercise it. When the hamster runs

inside the ball, the ball rolls all around the floor.

Pets need the right kind of food to stay healthy. Hamsters eat dry

hamster food. They also like fresh fruits and vegetables as treats.

They store their food in pouches inside their cheeks. The food makes

their cheeks puff out. Sometimes hamsters hide part of their food in

their cages. That way they always have a snack!

Our Pets

Dogs are friendly and playful, so they are popular pets. They also

need plenty of care. A dog’s owner must do many things to keep the

dog healthy.

Dogs need exercise, so owners walk their dogs and play with

them. Dogs love to play catch!

Most dogs like human food, from table scraps to peanut butter.

But too much human food is not good for dogs. They need to eat

dog food at every meal. Dogs need to drink lots of water, too.

Owners keep their dogs healthy in other ways. They brush their

dog’s fur and clip its nails. They give the dog medicine to protect

its fur from ticks and fleas. These are bugs that can bite dogs.

Owners take the dog for checkups with a special doctor called a

veterinarian. Sometimes the dog has to have a shot.

A dog needs a lot of care, but owners don’t mind. They know

dogs are wonderful companions . Owners love their dogs, and the

dogs love them right back.

Our Pets

Unit 1 Week 3

An iguana is an unusual pet. It is a kind of lizard that grows very

big—up to six feet long! Half of that length is its long tail. Iguanas

need very special care. Only people who know how to take care of

iguanas should keep them as pets.

In nature, iguanas live in rain forests and other warm places.

To make a pet iguana feel at home, its cage must be kept warm.

Iguanas are used to sitting in the sun, so an iguana owner puts a

special lamp in the iguana’s cage.

Iguanas need to eat lots of dark, leafy green vegetables to stay

healthy. They need other kinds of food, too, such as apples and

bananas. Like other pets, iguanas need lots of fresh water. They

drink the water, and they also take baths in it.

It is important for owners to train their iguanas so the pets are

used to being touched. First the owner just sits by the iguana’s cage.

Then the owner puts one hand inside. After a while, the owner just

touches the pet a bit. In time, the owner can pick the iguana up. A

tame iguana might even sit in someone’s lap!

Our Pets

Unit 1 Week 3

Like an iguana, a pot-bellied pig is an unusual pet. And like an

iguana, this pet needs special care.

It is very important to groom this pig. Grooming includes giving

the pig a shampoo about every two months. Pot-bellied pigs are

very clean, and they love their baths. Another part of grooming a

pig is keeping its hooves trimmed.

Pot-bellied pigs are very smart. Their owners can train them. The

pigs can learn to walk on a leash. They can even do some tricks, like

learning to shake hands! But a smart pet can also get into a lot of

trouble. These pigs like to explore with their noses. That means they

might knock over wastebaskets in the house.

The best meal for a pig is special pig food from a pet store. But

like dogs, pot-bellied pigs love human food. Because they’re so

smart, the pigs can learn to open doors to find food. A pot-bellied

pig can even learn to open a refrigerator door! Owners have to

lock up food so their pigs cannot reach it. Some pot-bellied pig

owners use the same locks that people use when there is a baby

in the house.

Oral Vocabulary groom

Define: To groom means to clean and brush.

Example: My neighbor grooms her dog by brushing it every day.

Ask: How do you groom yourself to get ready for school?

RetellHelp children use the pictures to tell what they learned.

Card 1: What is the main idea of this card? What kind of care do hamsters need?
