Over Popcorning

[BlueVictorian]

My youngest, Ann, is a very energetic funny pig. Every time you walk in the room she wheeks for snacks and attention. But when I take her out and play with her she gets so excited that she runs around popcorning to the point where she can barely stand up. And she popcorns into things, like when I put more hay in she runs out and does laps and every time popcorns into something.

I was wondering if I should get her checked by a vet, or if she is just very excitable and loves me.

(hoping for the 2nd one)

She sounds just very excitable.

It's so funny to watch her run laps then fall down from popcorning. I'm gonna try and get a video later

She sounds like an adorable and very excitable piggy. I caught my Lily having uncontrollable popcorns when she discovered fleece and managed a short video. It's in this thread if you want to see Lily's First Fleece Encounter

Awwww I love watching the piggies popcorn it’s so cute. One of my two used to popcorn around their cage instead of walk like every step she took was just so exciting. Now she’s a adult even taking a step is to much energy let alone popcorn lol.

I love babies, that moment when they popcorn so much you wonder if they'll ever stop. My oldest rarely popcorns now, it is only reserved for the arrival of the hay and it's a very reserved popcorn

I miss babies!

Ann is currently 5 weeks old and popcorns like mad! Her sister on the other hand only popcorns on very certain occasions.

LOL! She just sounds excitable (Leela was like that as a really young pig- she would even try to popcorn from lying down and flop around like a fish out of water!) As an adult, she is still excitable and high on life most of the time, though the popcorning into walls and falling over phase of her life seems to have passed!
