Odd behavior (maybe?)

[Lauukin]

So my little Robo girl Melonberry is ...quite strange. She's a little goofy, but one thing worries me. Anytime she ends up on her back (rolling over, falling a short distance after doing a stage-dive off her toys/houses, etc) she can't get herself back up. I have tried to get her to do it, but she just flails her little legs and twists around frantically. If I see it happening, I usually tip her back over with my finger, but sometimes I watch to see if she's capable...I waited like 3 minutes, and she literally would struggle, then lay there. She's reach in her mouth pouch and start eating a snack, then struggle more.

This sounds kinda funny, but its also kinda strange and worrisome too.

Any reasons behind this? She is not morbidly obese or anything...

One of my robo girls does this too. I don't think it's a cause for alarm - she just had real tiny arms and couldn't hoist herself back up! If I left her alone for a bit, she'd eventually figure out how to turn herself over. If you're concerned, though, best thing to do is take her to a vet - the peace of mind is priceless!
