Popcorning is the ultimate sign of a happy pig. She'll jump, run, twist. You can go to youtube and type in "guinea pig popcorn" if you're not sure what it looks like.

Also when she starts wheeking at you for food, she's getting comfortable. It took my pigs a few weeks before they'd wheek at me, once they started I realized they were getting used to me & their new home.

Wheeking is the squealy-like noise they make. I think that's how they got the name guinea pig.

I should have recorded my Guinea Pig Sandy singing for food. She squeaks until her food bowl is filled!(Laughing very hard)

'Wheeking' is one of the most wonderful sounds in the world, you will come to treasure it. It's what piggies do when they want something from you...attention....food...veggies. :D
