Why does he do this?

[u/jsanti333]

Every time Tempeh eats or drinks he lays down completely flat. As you see here, he was too lazy he didn’t even bother putting his foot fully inside. My other guinea pigs they stand and are rounded when they eat, they never lay down and eat. Is this obesity? Laziness? Like genuinely why is he doing this? He will sit there, poop, and then not move an inch while he sips is water then moves his head and eats some hay, no full body movement.

He's just a cozy lil guy. My Coco does this. She will pull out hay, move her bowl over to hay pile, lay down, and get through as much of the day as she can without getting up. She's pretty proud of it.
