When I put my baby guinea pigs out in their run why do they jump up in the air2007-11-24 22:18:20

They seem very happy but jump directly up all over the place.

Guinea pig lovers call it "popcorning". It means they're happy and feeling playful. It's a happy guinea pig behavior.

They are very happy piggies. We have a pig named Crystal, but when she does her dance we call her Hoppy Von Boing Boing.

It is called 'popcorning'. A very, very happy behaviour. They tend to grow out of it once they are adults, which is a shame. If your cage is big enough they should do it in there aswell - my two boys do.

I kept guineas for years and they always did this! It's so funny looking, isn't it? I think it's because they're just babies, and babies play- it looks joyful and like they're bursting with life.
