gave my beardies a bath today and the little one puffed out like a baloon. iv done some research and i know they do this when threatend or scared but she was acting fine she wasnt tryin to get out and she was swimmin around but her body looked like i put a air pump into her. when i took her out her body slimmed down to normal. i dont know if thats just a natural thing for them to hold air in there bodys when there in water or what so im looking for some other peoples opinions and thoughts.. if needed ill try to get a picture

Buttercup does this when she wants to float. It's really cute. She fills herself up with air then picks all her feet up off the floor & floats around. Maybe I should have caller her water lily instead of buttercup?

Hi...Yes this is normal. Several of mine do this. A few minutes after getting out of the water, the bloating look goes away.
Good luck

I woudl assume its normal. My Lilly does it once adn a whhile. Its cute too cause if I pick her up she releases all of teh air adn you can hear it rushin gout of her nose, adn it makes her beard puff out for a second....its like a live baloon deflateing! Hahaha

It's normal - it's the famous "BFD" or "Beardie Flotation Device". :lol: Jasper, bless his little heart, could only inflate one side, so he would always end up getting dunked when he tried to inflate.

Wait till one of yours does the BDF (Beardie death Float) both Tesla and Bob will close their eyes and just float, the first time it happened it scared me to death. Tesla had been swimming along just fine and then suddenly just closed her eyes and went limp. I scooped her up fully prepared to do CPR and she just opened her eyes and looked at me like "Why the heck did you get me out of the warm bath woman?"

either she really likes me, or shes hungry

It’s been a month since I’ve joined bd.org! It feels like it’s been longer than that, but I’m glad I’m here and apart of this lovely community!
I can feel her staring into my soul demanding food
She was having a staring contest with a mealworm. I guess I never taught her to not play with her food, lol.
