happy new year.
Thank you for your continued support in the year.

Well, this year is the year of the bull.
Unfortunately, there are no cows at Tategamori Ark Ranch.

Last year was the year of the mouse, so the guinea pigs were very active (?), but this year...

I was thinking...

I was there! discover! !

A guinea pig like a cow (laughs)

Doesn't it look like a cow in two colors, black and white?
So, I'm going to have guinea pigs continue to play an active role this year! Oh my God.

The number of chibi moles born at the end of 2020 has increased, and it has become quite lively.
Guinea pigs live in the back of the animal house.
You can't hold them, but you can feed them through the gaps in the net.
I'm getting used to people, so I'm coming to get food.

*Since guinea pigs are sensitive to the cold, the animal house is open only during the day.
*If the guinea pig is not feeling well, it will be kept in the backyard.

There are no cows, but there are ponies that are often mistaken for cows (laughs).

Poco (brown), which looks like a jersey cow, and Mamako (black), which looks like Japanese black beef.
Behind her are Yuki-chan and her sheep (Corridale).

Poco's back is plump. Even in the snow, they are running around!

*The Tategamori Ark Farm is currently free during the winter season.
As a preventive measure against avian influenza infection, viewing of peacocks and other exhibited birds is not permitted.
You can see animals grazing outside.
