Can guinea pigs be hyper?

My beautiful boy Romano, after I give him vegetables, he eats them all and then about 5minutes later he goes nuts, running around the cage, crashing into things, squeaking loudly and running around and round the whole cage. It's quite funny to watch but I am wondering if the vegetables make him hyper? It's only after vegetable time they do it. Both Arthur and Romano do it but Romano a bit more.

Things go flying out of the cage, bits of food, poop, hay, anything. It's certainly amusing but my older boys never did it. They would popcorn but this certainly isn't popcorning as its running not jumping.

So can they get hyper? Like a child eating sweets?
 
I don't know. I know my girls just recently had a energy spurt and were playing and romping around followed by wheeking. But no aggression because afterwards there was tons and tons of grooming behind the ears.
 
lol...... my Cookie was racing about last night and cos she's my biggest piggy it looked really funny for some reason. She and Candy have been popcorning about the past couple of days :))

This is perfectly normal. You should see my two girls at floor time - they're crazy pigs! I let them run free around the lounge room and they zoom around the couch and behind it again and again and again at full speed. It's hilarious :D
 
lol. I'm glad he's so happy. In the pet shop he would sit in the corner and never move. It's lovely to know he's so super happy he can't help but crash.

...yet I still wonder why its only after veggies he goes that insane.
 
Like the Duracell Bunny, they're a Duracell Piggy! :))

It's excitement and joy I suppose. It's not like a popcorn no, but a popcorn can be added to it I've noticed with mine. Rose does it a lot, actually all my girls popcorn and run around more than my boys, I think because all the boys care about is sizing up to each other and trying to impress the girlies... x) lol!

I love seeing them run around and popcorn, it's cute :)
 
Duracell piggy. Thats cute. :))

Aww bless. Maybe he's just happy his tummy is full from veggies then. They both do it, just Romano a idle bit more and its funny because he's a long haired piggie so you just see this blurry furball. xD
