Toasty (Guinea Pig) Popcorning!

My piggie Toasty becomes really excited when I reach for the bag of hay - even if she already has some in her cage. The result is a frantic, excited running in circles and an occasional "popcorning", in which she leaps up into the air for a brief period. Too cute!
Note: sound is out of sync, unfortunately the little point/shoot camera I used for this particular clip records to apple's Quacktime format (why does this still exist?!), then cuts off the last few seconds of audio, which YouTube then stretches out.

Up until I watched this video, I seriously thought my guinea pig was broken.

@franticfactory no it's not! if you have 1 guinea pig then that cage is fine but if you have 2 guinea pigs then you would probably need a bigger cage!

That cage is soooooo small!

Babies do it all the time - they are happy and excited.

I hate when your trying to sleep and they do that!

Don't hate maybe he's separate for a reason! My guinea pig, a rescue, is very territorial and has to be kept alone, and he does just fine! He likes being alone. And the cage isn't that small, it looks like there's room on the right side too!
