Re: odd behavior ....

I think what you are witnessing is called popcorning. They do it when they are happy or excited.

Piggies jump and popcorn for different reasons. Some just do it for the heck of it.

Mine especially likes when I've just cleaned out the cage and the fleece is all nice and smooth and clean. Then she poops on it....Go figure.

Re: odd behavior ....

The first time I saw popcorning, I thought my piggy was having a seizure or something. Then it dawned on me, popcorn!
