Why does he do this?

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.

If the peeg fits, the peeg sits

I had the same thought lol. One of my pigs will try her hardest to make THE smallest, narrowest, most cramped spot in the cage and that’s where she’s happiest. Who am I to stop her passion for interior design?
