Not sure the term used to describe this but I was just curious about it and wondering why they do it.


 When I give Blaze a bath or when he wakes up in the morning (cold) he flattens himself out. My guess is it's to warm up but he does it in the warm bath as well... Im not worried about it as he is very healthy and has always done it, I just dont see my other BD doing it under similar conditions.

im going to guess, i could be wrong, i do believe when he does it in the morning he's trying to soak up the heat and by flattening himself out he's absorbing more heat (more body area).  and i think in the bath it's because they do that to help float/balance?  now, lets see if im on the right track?
experts please *drumroll* lol

No expert here but I do believe your right Amber. You might also notice their colors go a bit darker as well.

HHmm I thought this was a breakfast thread!
Disappointment aside, I think you're right Amber, it makes sense

I like hash browns with toast and over easy eggs over both...since we're discussing breakfast foods. And yes, I'm still checking out names for whichever I get too. I've also not given up on having both another corn and a beardie...separate rooms though.
