We must be doing something right as yesterday afternoon and evening our newish herd spent hours popcorning.

However, Cosmos went in the cage bouncing around and managed to popcorn from the bottom of the cage onto the top of their houses (about 6 inches) and it was a pocorn not a leap as she seemed a little surprised with herself.

So how high do yours popcorn?
 
:)) :)) Always makes me laugh when they go mental popcorning.

Cookie and treacle when younger used to do some massive ones, Cookie once did one and landed on her side and was most confused... silly piggie.

Glad Cosmos is settling in well!
 
:)) So cute. Mine nowadays just do a sort of twizzle as if they're having a spasm :)) Lexi used to do some pretty big ones when she was younger.
 
and it was a pocorn not a leap as she seemed a little surprised with herself.

That made me chuckle out loud at work! I have not had experience of high leapers but have had many that run and bounce into the side of their playpen as kinda looked up to say where on earth did that come from?! :(|)
 
My youngest boar popcorns over his pigloos no problem its hilarious! I have a photo of him in mid air that ill post later!
 
:) nice

When Biscuit and Caramel were younger, they could popcorn at least 7 or 8 inches off the floor. When they were only 3 or 4 months old, I used to bend down on my hand and knees and make a little hurdle for them with my arms on the floor. Once, Biscuit popcorned over my arm so high his bum hit my face :)
 
Very....my two often surprise themselves and often knock into each other too. That said, Pixie does believe she is a rabbit and jumped in excess of 30cm last week. I am now building a higher run for them!
 
:)) love these stories! My favourite popcorns are when mine spin in the air and land facing the other way, it's just the look of confusion on their faces that makes me laugh so much :(|)
 
Has to be one of the best part of owning piggies when they do this :(|)
Our girls all go barmy when I put the hoover on as they know it's food time and popcorn upwards and sidewards - the boys being older and bigger just have a bit of 'twitch attack' on the spot now xx>>>
 
:(|):(|):(|):(|)

awwwwwww that's really bought a smile to my face!
Velvet doesn't popcorn anymore......and Onyx will do the odd little one everynow and then........ when she was smaller i used to worry about her popcorning accidentally off the ramp! mallethead
 
once when i had gizmo in a 120cm store brought cage he popcorned so high he hit the roof and fell to the bottom, he than shook his head and did it again (that is why i have a cage with no lid lol)
