Zoomies When Friend Removed - But Why?

[Kallasia]

Whenever I take my Binky out of the pen to do his medicine or for laptime, Errol goes crazy! He starts charging around, through the tunnels, kicking off the walls for added speed...

Is he looking for Binky? Is he happy to be alone? He wants to come out too?

They get on most of the time, with just the occasional rumble. They snuggle up at night.

Oh haha! I have the same thing happened occasionally. When I remove a piggy for cuddles or I'm placing one in the outdoor pen before getting the other there is the rare popcorn from the other piggy. I know they have bonded but perhaps they just like that little time out? I mean I know I love some space from my sibling! Lol. But I'm really curious too- maybe it is him looking for him hence the speed

Hello!
I think sometimes popcorning can be a sign of worry- maybe it's that?

I think Binky is just enjoying having the space to himself for a little while.

Agreed, it's just having the extra freedom of not bumping into his cage mate.

Mistletoe just lies low when I take Jingle out for laptime. Hoping I wont see her no doubt!

At cuddle time tonight my piggies were squeaking, wheaking and whistling at me telling me it was time for cuddles which the absolutely love. Then they ran away when I tried to get them for a cuddle! Honestly I can't win! It is a different noise for cuddle time than veg time! So I know which one they were asking for!
