Oh yes, my Cissy does it all the time! She gets excited when she rumblestruts and has to do a popcorn or two. I think she's just happy to be the boss 
Oh yes; it is not at all uncommon behaviour in young piggies of either sex! In my experience, little boys do it even more
but then they rumblestrut a lot more than girls.

Thanks Wiebke and Cavy Kung Fu. My boys rumblestrutted alot (constantly atvtimes)and some popcorned more than others. But they werent quite as enthusiastic in the popcorning stakes and didnt do the combo. Archie may have.
Poppy is about 4 months old and constantly rumbling away as she bounces from one end of the enclosure to the other. Moving between the couch, food bowls and pipe. She seems happy and intrested, and is a frequent zoomie pig. A term that ive only just read and probably explains her crazy behaviour in the mornings. She gets very excited.
I think the girls are doing okay bonding wise, I'm not sure if they have their dominance sorted yet. I would have said top pig was Poppy as she does the ocassional nip or fake nip to put Luna in her place. That said Luna seems to have taken ownership of the hay rack/loft and often sleeps there. If she leaves, Poppy is instantly up in it having a sniff. But luna always goes back. She also uses the other hideys and couch. Ive also seen her walk up and pull food out of Poppys mouth. At lap time on the ocassions poppy is relaxed its not unheard of for Luna to walk up and sniff her bum or put her head in Poppys face. Then Poppys on high alertvand theres some raised heads. They both sniff each others ears and well sit next to eachnother to eat. Ive noted that Poppy likes to position herself on top of any food pile. My OH thinks it will depend who is bigger when their growm as Luna keeps pushing boundaries.
