I learn so much here that I don't find in my books. The first time I saw Okie rolling I couldn't believe it. It think he was just scratching caz he was fine and playful but he had his big body on the ground and just kicking those long legs up in the air and thrashing about. After a few minutes he got up and went looking for something to chase:')

It's OK for them to roll if their not colicky. If they have an impaction or gas build up and roll they are more likely to twist. It's only when they are colicing that you have to try to keep them from rolling.

Yeah - a good roll on any other day is a good thing. It's coupled with other symptoms, and when they won't ~stop~ that there's a reason to worry.
