Hi,
My new guinea pig, Manny - who I've had for just 2 days (he's 8 weeks old) is kind of going mental. That's the only way I can describe it!
Every so often, he's been running superfast around the cage, going through tunnels and back round again, and then sort of jumping up a bit (not sure if this is official popping, it's more like crazy run and jump).
So I'm wondering does this mean he's stressed or super excited?
I had to make a couple of amendments to the cage today, and it was when I put them back in that he did this. The amendments I made increased the floor space to run quite alot. He has done it a couple of other times since his initial one.
On the other hand though I read when they are stressed they simply hide.
Both guinea's are eating well munching lots of cucumber (which seems to be their favourite) and they are venturing out more and more - for the first 36 hours they pretty much just hide in their 'bedroom', but they're starting to explore a little more now.
But with Manny, I'm not sure if I should be worried or happy? Right now he's happily munching on more cucumber out in the open of his c&c cage.
