Nanny Plum summons a hamster as a gift for the twins. However, the mischievous animal soon creates disorder throughout the castle, turning the peaceful residence into a scene of mayhem. Its antics disturb the household, scattering belongings and startling the staff.

Daisy and Poppy's Pet is a programme that comes to us as a single episode, forming part of a larger series. It falls under the umbrella of an episodic adventure, presenting a brief but self‑contained story centred on the two titular characters and their caretaker. In this instalment, Nanny Plum decides to conjure a hamster as a present for the twins. The little creature arrives through her magic, intended as a charming companion for Daisy and Poppy. However, the hamster quickly proves to be more mischievous than expected, and its antics set off a chain of disorder throughout the castle. The twins, delighted at first by their new pet, soon find themselves caught up in the hamster’s unruly behaviour. Its playful but naughty nature turns the normally orderly halls into a scene of pandemonium, with objects being knocked over and rooms turned topsy‑turvy. Nanny Plum’s well‑meaning gesture thus spirals into a full‑blown commotion. By the episode’s end, the chaos generated by the hamster forces everyone in the castle to confront the unintended consequences of a magical gift. The story closes on the aftermath of the disorder, highlighting how a seemingly harmless surprise can upend even the most tranquil of settings.
