I love to see it when the guinea pigs pop corn! It is my favourite guinea pig sight and there is nothing better than a guinea pig jumping around for the sheer joy of it! So cute! Mine have recently started doing it because winter is over ( and it was a miserable and cold one) and now spring is in the air, and the weather is warming up. They have been out in their run on the grass a couple of times and that's when they popcorn. Horray!
Love Gem.xXx
