    BP on cool side

    One of my BPs seems to spend way more time on the cool side than the others. Does he just like cooler temperatures? He doesnt do anything else out of the ordinary. He is healthy and eats like a champ. Just thought it was a bit odd that he seems to prefer the cooler side.

    I didnt know that. When i first noticed i checked the the hot spot and the ambient temperature like 5 times thinking it was too hot. But i saw that none of the others were doing it so i didnt worry as much.

    Just out of curiosity what is your hot side temps? What are you measuring the temps with?

    Though it's not uncommon because like SnakeGuy said, most BP's have a preference, I know mind did. Depending on what time of the day they were on one side or the other, and I mean like clockwork.
