Jump for Joy

[Jemima]

I love the way my two piggies do a little joyful shake and jump when they get something they love, such as a carrot slice, or a fresh hay top up - it's just so sweet. It's like they are jumping for joy! Do your piggies do this, too?

Hi

This is called popcorning. There are little pops for pleasure and freestyle large sessions.

I love when my two popcorn. Sometimes they do little straight up and down ones but sometimes they get really excited and do a 180 turn as well. Lovely to see happy piggies.

My rainbow piggy Sunny use to popcorn really oddly. He would popcorn but keep his head down and shake it from side to side. He was a character. Very vocal and drank from the water bottle weird too!

Mine do it too. Sometimes for no apparent reason, it's like they had an amusing thought.

Mine popcorn as well, most often after a cage clean or when they are getting their veggies. My 5 month old female Poppet popcorns all the time for bo apparent reason, which is extremely amusing and adorable. My 4 year old female popcorns very occasionally but when she does it makes me so happy. Oscar, although he is almost 4, seems to think he is still a very young piggy

My 3 old gals do little arthritic popcorns now when they know it's breakfast time. They just love hunting around for their pellets which I scatter feed.

My RB piggy Gizmo used to run at top speed around his run and jump about a foot in the air and clap his front and back feet together. His best mate Lenny would try and copy but failed miserably.

Mine all popcorn when they’re re happy, usually when there’s favourite food or they’re playing chase.
Priscilla only does little pops but she is about 4 years old.
I love watching them - it’s heartwarming to see them so happy

Oh you can’t beat the joy of watching your piggies popcorn. Especially the older/heavier piggies. It’s so precious.

Popcorning is so cute... right now we have a young pig, Tomie, who bounces around all over whenever we give her hay. She just gets SOOOO excited! It's adorable!

Popcorning piggies are the best! Hector is so funny, he starts with his head then right through his body and his legs up right up in the air. He gets so excited, once he ended almost on his back, the daft lad
