I was holding Wakka this morning and when I bent over to put him back into his cage. He jumped about a foot or two to the ground! Should I be worried? He seems to be walking fine, I ran my fingers over his ribs, I checked his teeth. Anything else I should look for? Have your pigs ever done this?

As long as you don't notice any changes in behavior or eating habits, I'd just keep an eye on him. I've had a couple of chronic jumpers. I resorted to holding them, facing me, when I put them back in the cage. They never jumped towards me. Another option is to put him in a box and place it in the cage and open it to let him out.
