In this home 
lives Ko-chan the black cat, 
Star-kun the tortoise, 
Oppo-chan the sugar glider, 
and Buron-kun and Sarge-chan. 
(Sarge-chan was away this time.) 
This is the family that lives here. 
 
While I went about my work, 
 
always-hidden 
Ko-chan 
— would you believe it — 
came close to me❣️ 
Such a rare, rare thing✨ 
How happy I was😃 
 
And this is Ko-chan's 
treat case. 
 
 

 
 
It has about three holes in it, 
and when you shake it, 
the treats inside tumble 
right out. 
 
Ko-chan, 
keeping an eye on me, 
put her paw on the little case 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
and the whole scene from start to finish 
she showed me☺️ 
 
This time, 
the Churu I'd set down a little way off, 
she ate that too, while I was still there. 
What a treat to see! 
 
 
Star-kun the tortoise, 
and the sugar gliders 
Oppo-chan and Buron-kun, 
"We're doing great~," 
they seemed to say, showing me their adorable selves😍 
 
 

 

 

 
 
Having finished my care, 
this sitter 
was left with a heart 
simply overflowing with happiness. 
 
Sarge-chan, 
and 
Ko-chan, too — 
I'd love to 
see them all again💞

This time's care was for brown tabby "Hani-chan," black-and-white "Raima-chan," and, caring for one for the very first time, "Kotsubu-kun" the sugar glider. 
 
 

 
 
Hani-chan: "Hello there!" 
 
 

 
 
Raima-chan: "Good morning!" 
 
 

 
 
Kotsubu-kun. 
Since sugar gliders are nocturnal, I'd been told he might not come out of his little room. 
 
But then… 
 
 

 
 
Kotsubu-kun: "It's delicious!" 
 
 

 
 
When I prepared his meal, he came right out — how lucky I was! 
 
 

 
 
He even ate his dried mealworm treats right from my hand. 
 
 

 

 
 
Hani-chan, relaxing atop the moving boxes not yet unpacked. 
 
 

 

 
 
Raima-chan, in the middle of a little nap. 
 
They'd only just moved, so none of them were used to the rooms yet… 
But even so, you all did so well holding down the fort~ 
So amazing, all of you✨✨✨ 
Until we meet again💕🤗

This was my very first time caring for sugar gliders. I felt just like a new teacher on the first day with a brand-new class — heart fluttering with excitement and anticipation! "Did you pack your lunchbox?" 

"Yes, got it!" 

"Mama made something yummy for me!" 

"But before lunch, I want a snack~ Goofy!" 

…I could almost hear voices like that (ha!). 

That's right! Their mom had prepared colorful, love-filled meals in little plastic cases, one serving each, just like packed lunchboxes. Warm, nutritious meals too — softened in hot water and mixed with fruit — all ready to go! 

And so, lunchboxes in hand, off we went, field-trip style! 

～～～～～

The long-awaited snack time! 

"It's snack time, everyone!!" 

When I called out, each of them responded in their own way. 

One delighted little one: "I've been waiting!" 

Another holding it in both hands, cheeks stuffed full: "Don't you dare take mine~!" 

A pair lined up side by side: "Let's eat together!💕" 

And a health-conscious one, too: "I'll have mine after a jog on the wheel." 

Their personalities shone through, and just watching them brought a smile to my face.😊 

There was even one easygoing little one who wouldn't budge, still half-asleep: "I'm sleepy, so just leave it by my door~." That sweet sight warmed my heart all over again. 

And the next morning… 

When I looked beneath the cage, there were scattered bits of food and signs of play everywhere! 

I imagined a lively late-night "sports festival" or "sleepover party" had been held, and couldn't help but laugh♬ 

■ A Little Extra 

This little one wasn't part of my care this time, but watching it all so intently from right beside them was a leopard gecko! With a happy look that seemed to say, "This looks like so much fun!" 

Next time, let's go on a picnic~♬

このお家の子達はフクロモモンガのベルちゃん、ジェシーちゃん、ウォルターくん、サラちゃんです。

お伺い致しますと必ず袋に入っていて全員お写真撮れたためしがありません（笑）

しかし中でお団子になっているみんなは本当に可愛すぎて悶絶です🤣

少しだけ出てきてくださいました🙌

また可愛い姿を見せてね😆

もかちゃんはまだ3ヶ月のフクロモモンガの女のコ🧡

小さくて、クリクリおめめがとってもかわいいもかちゃん🥰

フクロモモンガさんは夜行性なので、

お世話に行く時間はまだ活発ではなかったですが、

もかちゃんは袋や三角テントなどの寝床のなかから、

クリクリのおめめでじっとシッターの様子を見ていました👀

そして💡

フクロモモンガさんのかわいいところはなんと言っても、

ごはんの食べ方だと思っています😆🎵

もかちゃんもおやつを目の前に近づけると、小さなおててで持ってポリポリ食べる様子が本当にかわいい😍😍

寝床から出てきてくれることはなかったですが

少しは慣れてもらえたのか、寝床のなかでうとうとしている様子もありました😌💤

これからたくさん食べて、すくすく元気に育ってね😊🎵
