It's almost the end of 2019.

The Chinese zodiac for 2020 is "rat"
and by saying

The other day, the guinea pigs at Tategamori Ark Ranch were interviewed by Kahoku Shimpo (^^)/

Guinea pigs, who joined the group in November, were raised in an animal breeding house on the ranch.
It's getting colder, so I'm currently temporarily living under the desk in the staff's break room.

Guinea pigs are nocturnal, hiding in boxes during the day and rarely showing up.
At night, when there are no people around, they come out and munch on food.
It might just be that I'm not used to it yet and I'm just withdrawing... (^-^;
I love dandelion leaves, and if I give them in the evening, they are gone in the morning.

Since it will be the main character (?) next year, I want to take good care of it so that it will be able to appear in front of everyone in spring.

Her eyes are sparkling and her hair is shiny, she's small and cute ♪

I hope next year will be a good year for all of you.
