Popcorning is basically how it sounds, guinea pigs get happy and jump up in the air. Another good movie that shows popcorning is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msF8ptEl2gc&mode=related&search=

its a wonderful thing to see because it confirms you have happy piggys I love the way they jump and twist at the same time, I've seen Lambs do it as well

When I first got Spaz I thought something was wronge with him. I was so worried because he was doing all the time and he would sometimes bump hard against the cage when he did it. I was about to take him to the vet. That's why he is called Spaz, because it looks like he is spazing out. I later learned that it's normal and means that he is happy! ;D
