Three Adorable Little Friends — Machida, Tokyo
Categories: On the Job > Hamsters > ファンシーラット
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!

Cute, Lively, a Big Happy Family — Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama
Categories: Rabbits > On the Job > Cats > Chinchillas > Degus > Hamsters > Hedgehogs > Squirrels > Richardson's Ground Squirrels
This time, I had the pleasure of caring for an adorable big family.
Every one of them was so cute, I hardly knew where to look!
Let's start with the cats.
Ran-chan, a Ragdoll, and Karu-chan, a Somali.
Ran-chan came close to me, but the moment I moved, she'd quickly slip away.
Karu-chan, on the other hand, was wonderfully friendly — coming right up to me and even rolling over to show her tummy.

Next up, the degus.
They live two to a room♪
All of them full of energy, always eagerly awaiting their meals!😄

Next come the chinchillas.
Just when I thought they were asleep, they woke up, came over, and showed me their darling little faces.🥰

And there's still more to come!
Next, the squirrel and the voles.
The squirrel popped out of his room to say hello.
The voles ran round and round on a little dish — too cute for words!❤️
(Only two appear in the photo, but there are three of them!)

And then, the ground squirrel and the hamsters. The sight of the ground squirrel munching away
was just too adorable!❤️
The hamsters, too, kept peeking out from their hiding spots to show off their cute little faces.

Last but not least, the gerbils and Goro-chan the rabbit.
The gerbils are experts at tucking themselves away in the timothy hay.
Goro-chan ate plenty and was bursting with energy.😄

I wasn't able to get photos this time, but there was a hedgehog as well, and on top of that,
a turtle, tropical fish, and even a catfish — what a lively, joyful big family!
Each and every one of them, simply adorable.❤️
I lost count of how many times I said "so cute!" during my visit.
May you all keep living happily together, side by side!
Until we meet again!

Sweet Enough to Eat — Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo
Categories: On the Job > Hamsters
This time, I had the joy of caring for
Ohagi-chan — a sweet little patterned hamster.

It's so easy to see why her family chose the name Ohagi-chan.
Her chestnut-and-cream markings look just like ohagi — the traditional Japanese sweet she's named after.
😀

And true to her name…
she really is so impossibly cute, you could just eat her up.
✨😀✨
She lives up to her sweet name in every way.

Sweet little Ohagi-chan,
may your adorable little self keep bringing your family
all the joy in the world.✨


Thank you so much.✨

Tiny Cuties Times Three — Naniwa-ku, Osaka.
Categories: On the Job > Hamsters
This time, we had the pleasure of caring for three tiny, adorable Djungarian hamsters.🐹

🐹"I'm Kumori-chan!"💖
When our sitter leaned close to the cage, she came right out to say hello.😍
And then…

🐹"Nice to meet you!"

She pressed her tiny little paws together in the sweetest greeting, followed by the brightest, beaming smile.💕💕💕

🐹"I'm Hokori-chan!"💖
She made it very clear she wanted out of her cage!
Her cow-print coat was just too cute for words.😍

When her meal was ready, she brought it right to the front of the cage.
🐹"Thank you! Time to dig in!" — and the munching began right away.💕💕💕
But still…

🐹"You're really not going to let me out?!"

🐹"And I'm Moufu-kun!"💖
Here's Moufu-kun, fresh from his nap.🥱
But the moment his meal was ready…

🐹"Mmm, this is delicious!"👍🏻
With cheeks puffed full, he gave it his all, munching away with everything he had‼️

Moufu-kun also brought his food right to the front of the cage, treating us to the most adorable little feast.🥰
Thank you, sweet ones!😊
Until we meet again.💖

やっと会えたね〜😍|大阪市東住吉区
Categories: On the Job > Hamsters
初めてのハムスターさんのお世話をさせて頂きました。
小さなかわいい『ラハムくん🐹』です💕
お名前はたくましい〜‼️

さて、ラハムくんはどこにいるのでしょうか🤔
実は初めてのお世話の時、ラハムくんは姿を見せてくれませんでした。
これではブログも書けず困っていたんです💧
今回、お世話をリピートして頂き『どうか今回は会えます様に…🙏🏻』と。

願いが叶い、今回初めてお目にかかれました🤩

回し車がお気に入りの様で、一所懸命走っていました💨
動きが早くてカメラのシャッターが間に合いません😅
次回はもう少しケージの側まで来てもらえたら嬉しいなぁ…😍
また会えますように🐹💕

寝てるかなぁ~~と覗くとバムちゃんもこちらを見てくれていました😊

ご飯も食べて、お水も飲むところも見せてくれて安心しました😌


「もうそろそろ部屋んぽしたいな」って思ってる❓


冷蔵庫の下に行かないように気をつけて😅



部屋んぽの後はお顔洗い🧡
小さい指がとっても可愛いです❗

後ろ姿も癒されます🧡
お口に含んだご飯をポリポリ( ‘ч’ )

また元気なバムちゃんに会えるのを楽しみにしています✨️
