If your guinea pig suddenly jumps in the air with little hops, it's called "popcorning." This means they're super happy and excited—like a mini celebration!
A sudden stop and staying completely still? Your guinea pig is on high alert! They're sensing danger or feeling uncertain about something around them.
Racing around their enclosure like a tiny rocket? This means your guinea pig is full of energy and enjoying life! Let them have their fun—it's their way of staying active.
If your guinea pig nudges you with their nose, they’re either asking for attention, food, or just saying, "Hey, human, notice me!"
Lots of squeaks, purrs, or chirps? Each sound has a meaning! A high-pitched wheek usually means excitement or hunger, while a deep purr means they’re feeling relaxed (or annoyed if it’s short and sharp!).
If your guinea pig sways their hips or shakes their rear, they might be showing dominance or even trying to impress another guinea pig. It’s their version of a power move!
Caught your guinea pig in a big yawn with a stretch? That’s a sign of relaxation and comfort—just like when humans unwind after a long day.
If your guinea pig licks you, consider it an honor! This is their way of showing affection, similar to how they groom each other.
