whatis popcorning?
 
It is when pigs get so excited or happy, they jump up and down, and it looks like popcorn in a popcorn machine.
 
As maxwell said it is when they are excited or happy (or both!) They run around the cage jumping in the air, it's the best thing to see!
 
My piggies do it all the time. It is when their legs touch their head and they are very clumsy when they do it.
 
When my guineapig started popcorning the first time I thought there was something seriously wrong with him! It's such a mad thing to do but I love seeing them do it - after all it shows they're happy.
 
The first time you see it, you'll think they're having some sort of seizure. But I can assure you, they are extremely happy! It is a sort of jumping/twisting motion, usually accompanied by running and happy wheeking.
 
I was going to say the same thing Mn! Except when my CoCo popcorns, she doesn't twist, she comes straight up off the floor about an inch with all 4 paws.
