Hi, Being that I have a single guinea pig, who is also my first guinea pig, I've never seen rumblestrutting. Can anyone explain to me what this is, or have a video showing what it is

Basically they just sway their hips back and forth. And sometimes make squeaking noises.

Rumblestrutting is a dominance behaviour. They wag their back end slowly while making a noise similar to a phone vibrating. "rumble" is the noise, and "strutting" is the movement. My girl Minnie reverse rumblestrutts in to Daisys face all the time lol

ETA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYyrWb2akrE about 55 seconds in, the pig with the orange blaze on it's face starts rumblestrutting.

Ferb rumblestruts Penny all the time, I call him my little wriggle rumblebutt. I'll try and get a video of it.

I love the video!

[MENTION=32259]cheyenneee[/MENTION] I wish I could have that many pigs! But no, I found it on Youtube. Plus I'm British and the people in that video are Canadian (I think?) lol
