BIG NEWS!!!

My guinea pig Zara popcorned!!!!!! Popcorning: When a guinea pig is really happy they jump up and down, this is called popconing. Once, I gave Zara her favorite yogurt treat by the side of her cage when she put her front paws up on it. Now, whenever I put her in she goes to that spots and puts her fornt paws on it. If that doesn't get my attention then she goes into begging position. She was so cute so I fed her some carrots, red pepper, and two pieces of parsley. Then, I started to open the yogurt treat packet in their cage and Autumn came over. They got really excited and started to jump all over the packet and my hand. I gave them both two, and they ate them so fast I wasn't sure if I had actually given them any. I closed the cage and tried to ignore their pleads for more; succeding I filled up their pellets and hay. It was almost impossible to ignore them with their cute little faces and when they are begging they look even cuter. It was then that I noticed that Zara was jumping all around the cage and I realized that she was popcorning! I am so pleased that I made my guinea pig super happy and feel like jumping all around the cage!
