Question: Axie handstands

[sarahjb]

I wonder if someone can tell me, is it normal behaviour for axies to hang around their tank with their tail and hind legs in the air? My axie Mercedes does this quite often lately. I'm not sure of her age, and the person I got her from didn't know. Is this a sign of illness? X

They sometimes do that when they need to poop. Nothing to worry about if there's nothing else wrong with her.

Some axies do handstands, some dance.

If they look like a scorpion with face forward and bum in the air it's gas, if their head is down like they've just swum straight down and landed on their nose it's just for fun.
