Buckaroo Guinea Pig?!

[Jbrooke14]

Its been nearly 3 weeks now since Maui and Hei-Hei joinedoir family and they're becominh tamer by the day. Maui has started doing this "buckaroo" motion every now amdand again and I'm not sure why?!

We were told by the centre that theyre both boys, but Maui keeps mounting Hei-Hei.....? The buckaroo stuff usually after this.

What's going on?

Hi!

I assume that your 'buckaroo' is what we call 'popcorning', which is an expression of joy.

Mounting is normal boar social interactive behaviour. In my experience, boars are either 'rumble-singers' (rumble-strutters) or 'mountaineers' (humpers) in how they express their boarly feelings.

If Maui does mount Hei-Hei and then popcorns, that basically translates as "Hi, bro, I'm with you and I am happy to be with you!" with some youthful enthusiasm added.
