Why is one of my piggys purring and moving slow around the other?

Sounds like it could be a bit of a mating dance? My girls do it to each other occasionally (it's not just a boy thing!)
Are they wiggling their bum at the same time?

The first time my girls did it I got into a panic thinking one had been mis-sexed so rushed over to have a look up their skirts, as it were, to check their 'bits'.. After careful comparison with some photos online my mind was at peace again, I did have 2 girls..

then what everyone else said is right, shes on heat.

The "rumblestrutting" as you describe it is:
a) dominance behaviour by the more dominant girl, especially during the introduction period
b) if it happens only occasionally (about every two weeks per girl) the girl in question coming/being in season
c) nearly daily after the introduction period: probably a missexed male
If in doubt, check gender here: http://www.guinealynx.info/sexing.html. Females have a "y" under their nub, while men have a straight slit under their button, like an "i"
