Junior Guinea Pig






They're both teenagers (Around 4-5 months old) by the way.
Pic attached is Bramble (top) and Bracken below.

Another pic, I waited too long to add, so had to post separately...
Hi
Rumble-strutting is a lot more like that. With the ear licking, yours has a dominance note but it sounds like it is just the variant that I call a moment of 'living his boarliness' - the sheer joy of being a boar and totally happy with life as it is. This form of rumble-strutting can also often segue into a popcorning session.

'Popcorning' (jumping) and 'zooming' (running) - joy and exuberance (videos) (see the video with Gareth for this)
Glad to hear he's (Well Bracken, at least!) happy, and yes, he does often popcorn (Jump into the air) after he's been doing a rumbling session. It's all we hear from the cage nowadays, Bracken rumbling and Bramble constantly whinging at him, it's happening now as I type, and last night when I was typing this post! He never seems to stop for more than a few minutes, and that's usually when he's eating!
