First, 

let me introduce two friendly, oh-so-cute fancy rats — 

the Brothers! 

 

 

On the left is Hachi-kun. 

And right beside him, 

the one with a little spot of color on the tip of his nose 

is Mit-kun. 

 

The two of them are brothers. 

 

While I cleaned their home, 

it was playtime out of the cage for the two of them♪ 

 

No matter what they did, they were simply adorable.🥰 

 

First, please enjoy some of their cutest shots. 

 

 

Those little pink ears. 

 

 

Those tiny little hands. 

 

 

This friendliness. 

 

 

Those round, sparkling eyes. 

 

 

They don't have cheek pouches, but 

they'd pop a few pieces of food into their mouths, 

carry them off, 

and plop 

them down somewhere else. 

And then, 

when I 

would say, "Oh! There's food over here🔍 

— who brought this here?" 

they seemed to delight in my surprise. 

(Hehe!) 

 

They are friendly through and through. 

 

More often than not, I'd suddenly notice them fussing playfully around my feet — 

tickling away down there. 

Worried I might accidentally step on them, 

I had to stay very, very careful! 

 

Just when one had climbed onto my lap, 

he came pattering all the way up to my chest, 

clambering up to say hello.💞 

 

Inside their home, rows of little towel hammocks make for cozy beds. 

 

 

And we mustn't forget one more friend. 

Let me introduce Takao-kun. 

 

Draped in a long coat of black and dark gray, Takao-kun 

is one of the larger kinds of hamster🐹 — 

a golden hamster. 

 

Whenever I arrive to care for him, 

he's fast asleep inside his tissue-box room.💤 

 

A gentle little tickle 

to wake him up, and… 

 

 

he looks ever so sleepy.☺️ 

Takao-kun is incredibly cute, too. 

 

While I clean Takao-kun's home, he roams the room safely inside a little dome. 

 

 

Can you spot him? 

That's Takao-kun, right there inside the dome. 

From inside, he'd gaze out at the scenery and skillfully steer the dome wherever he pleased. 

And he was surprisingly fast!💨 

Roll, roll, roll — 

off he'd go in the blink of an eye!👏 

 

You know those attractions 

made for humans, right? 

This was exactly that, in the tiniest, tiniest size!😆 

 

Once he was back home after cleaning, 

he happily 

sipped some water and enjoyed his meal.😋 

 

 

Takao-kun 

is, above all, 

wonderfully fluffy!😃 

 

 

Everyone's meals 

were filled with all sorts of treats, 

looking absolutely delicious 

and brimming with love — 

such lovely meals. 

 

This time, 

they were far more affectionate than I ever imagined, 

and Hachi-kun and Mit-kun struck me right through the heart — 

this smitten little sitter! 

 

You all did such a wonderful job holding down the fort. 

Thank you!
