Are my guinea pig's energetic bunny hops and body shakes normal?

Is is possible that Jordan is just playing around in his cage with this behavior. However, I would recommend checking his skin very closely to make sure he does not have any types of skin mites or lice. If you see any scabs or abnormal regions on his skin I would recommend taking him to a vet to have it examined

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sudden jumping could be normal while seizures are not normal or expected. It is hard to characterize this further without being able to see an episode or evaluate Russo. I recommend you consider recording one of these episodes and showing a video to us here or to your veterinarian to determined what seems likely. That would be next step. Hopefully these are not seizures or anything concerning. Good luck and have a great day!

It sounds like pogo maybe doing a guinea pig “pur”. This can shoe contentment or annoyance depending. You’ll have to try to read any other body language she is giving you. Here’s a guide that may help you differentiate guinea pig sounds. https://www.thespruce.com/guinea-pig-vocalizations-and-body-language-1238882 Thanks for using PetCoach.

George is very cute. If he is walking abnormal it is possible he had some type of trauma in her enclosure. I have seen guinea pigs hurt themselves on toys and different things in the cage. I would recommend taking him to a vet for a good physical exam. IT is important to make sure nothing is broken or infected which might cause this type of walking hope that helps

Yes, this is normal. Purring is typically associated with being happy and content, and Pennie may enjoy being picked up and held by you. No, you cannot stop it and it's a good thing, so enjoy that she likes being picked up by you! :-)

Hello, Tickelles is clearly a very happy, healthy guinea pig! Jumping isn’t typically the first thing one thinks of when thinking of guinea pigs, but if Tickelles is athletic enough to do it and has the space to do it safely, then it’s fine. Just make sure there aren’t things that she could get a foot or leg caught in, like a wire shelf or other cage item. Make sure her bedding is nice a deep in the event she should fall. Otherwise, tell Tickelles to enjoy herself!

Monitor Popcorn closely over the next day or two for any signs of decreased activity, limping or swelling anywhere on his body, any reduction in appetite, drinking, urination or defecation. If you notice any of these signs, you should take Popcorn to the veterinarian immediately. If Popcorn is behaving normally then there should be no cause for concern.
