Kamemi of this month
She goes to bed with me not to meet Kumosuke when he stayed inside Kotatsu (table style heater) for sleeping because they try to fight and bite each other to get Kotatsu as their own room.So she doesn't still lost the appetite so much. They spend much time in the living room in winter. So I take care with them so that they should not meet each other in the living room.
Kamemi (Photo) I put her cushion after warming it by sun light
at first in the warmest time of daytime
She lives as if the queen in winter.

Kumosuke of this month
He still eats a little. Kumosuke which was sulky because he always isolated to the Japanese-style room in every winter. But he can use kotatsu freely and looks happy because Kamemi moves backward to the bedroom with me.
Kumosuke (Photo)He has grown up in the length of his shell
this year. So he came to be able to enter into and go
out of water by himself freely using steps between
rooms when I put his container here.

Kamemi of this month
Sunbathing at the sunny spot in the room at daytime, inside a table type heater and blanket at night, and warm water...
Anyway she always likes something warm. It's cold outside. So she seems to do her best to metabolize her body actively
by heating herself.
Kamemi (Photo) Her daily work in sunny day. Absent-mindedly as
it's comfortable.
."I behaved well with my arranged hands"(Kamemi)

He comes from nowhere and begins to go round the living room rattling his shell on the floor.He eats even pellet type food as well as Kamemi does. But I try to give them only a little food because temperature is still low.

Kumosuke of this month
The tapping sound that he eats dry food while hitting his mouth to edge of his container is heard.. The amount of food that he eats has increased more and more and ‚ˆe is gradually becoming active. He enjoys to sunbathe in outside at the days when it cleared up.
