We will consider close-to-convexity of the metric balls defined by the quasihyperbolic metric and the $j$-metric. We will show that the $j$-metric balls with small radii are close-to-convex in general subdomains of $\Rn$ and the quasihyperbolic balls with small radii are close-to-convex in the punctured space.
