How old are your piggies? I've seen that as they get older they tend to chill out more. I bet they are precious!So cute! I love when they popcorn and zoom. My boys rarely zoom or popcorn. The only thing that really gets them going is if they know they’re getting a top up of their hay! The girls will occasionally have a run around, one more than the other.
Do post more pics, we love them
They do seem to chill out the older they get. Having said that I can’t remember the last time I saw the boys doing zoomies...May have been last year possibly...Even at floor time they will usually just munch on hay, scent mark
and explore a little.
I think that is one of the best parts about guinea pigs; each one has their own unique personality.They do seem to chill out the older they get.

The boys turned 3 this month and the girls will be 2 next month. I just heard Chanel having a running session

Coming into that exciting teenage time! You can definitely see the little attitudes when they have their hormone spikes. I swear Taco and Rafi glare at me sometimes to say "Jeez Mom!"
they do seem to have an attitude! Can you imagine the boys will now teeth chattering at my husband and I if we don’t give them some attention quickly enough, or stop! Toffee is the top pig so gets stroked first. Fudge will teeth chattering if I’m too long getting to him. Then Toffee will do it when I’ve stopped 
attention seeking 
That is halirious! The boys battling for guineaparents love! That is one of things we struggle with sometimes; I want to treat them equally but I know that can cause tension between them because naturally one of them has to be boss piggie!
Having to handle or stroke one before the other is treating them equally. It’s maintaining the hierarchy that they have established which is important for them. I’ve never thought about whether I treat them ‘equally’ really. They both have their traits and likes/dislikes so in that way I guess I do because I treat them as they want to be treated. Example, Toffee loves head scratches and chin rubs. But Fudge doesn’t like chin rubs. I hope what I’m saying makes sense...it does in my head!
Awwww! Cuteness!
It totally makes sense! Part of why I am so glad that I found this forum! It's great to talk with people who have different perspectives and experiences to share. To find common ground in such a beautiful way.Having to handle or stroke one before the other is treating them equally.

They are spoiled for sure! Their new cage gets here tomorrow and I cannot wait!
I'll do my best to keep the cuteness coming, lol!
