Popcorning And Running Around Madly!

[Siikibam]

So the more shy of my two babies was wondering around yesterday and did what I thought was popcorning. It happened 2-3 times then it stopped. Today I managed to catch them both on video so please can someone tell me if that's what they're doing?

Another thing, which they've started today is running around the cage like nutters. Even kicking the shavings out the cage after I'd cleaned up!, naughty boys My husband sent me a text before midnight saying they were running around like crazy. Is this normal?

Making a mess then looking all innocent... good thing I love them and they're still young

Yep that's popcorning! A very happy piggy indeed. And the inning around is probably zoomies which is also a sign of a happy pig.

These are all signs that your piggies are feeling happy and confident in their new home - well done.
And I hear you with the shavings all over the floor.
When we first bought ours home I also used shavings, but the happier they got, the more running and jumping they did, and the messier my floor got!
We ended up switching to fleece once we decided they would be staying indoors, so this is something you could consider for the future.

I love watching piggies popcorn, nó two pigs ever seem to pop the same way. And I agree, the running around sounds like zoomies, which are great fun for the pigs and not so fun for those of us cleaning up afterwards

Definitely a happy youngster!

Gorgeous happy piggys. I love the silver one, I've got a soft spot for silver agouti's having slaved for a darling one many years ago.

Yay! I'm glad they're happy. I was quite worried about toffee but also being a first time pig mum was worried about correct handling/settling. But seems I haven't so I'm happy!
I need to make some pee pads then the kids can have cuddles...later today...
