When I opened my boys run up this morning they looked like someone had put them on fast forward! :)):))

They ran downstairs & started popcorning in between running really fast from one end of the run to the other & in & out of all the hidey places & they were even running up & down the ramp. I've never seen them both move so fast.

What was this? The fact they were popcorning makes me think nothing was wrong anyway?!
 
It means that they are absolutely healthy, happy youngsters with excess energy!

My Nia doesn't popcorn - but she has the whole length of the living room to gallop up and down at breakneck speed.... They love to dash through things and finally crash into their companions. If you want, you can put a little "hurdle" (ruler!) in - some love to jump over!

I had one guinea pig once who every spring build herself a racecourse up and down the whole length of the border by removing whole rose branches, if necessary, and never came to any harm twisting among the plants - though how she managed to stay whole I have no idea!

If you praise them they might do a few extras just for you! Enjoy - your piggies have settled in completely. You might see this display every few days while they are still yougsters. They will calm down more after they are one year old.
 
My youngsters do this a lot, its just them being really happy :) The older ones popcorn but not as often, they dont tend to run around so fast except Elvis who looks like he is being shot in the bum because he sprints round and round the cage or room like his bum's on fire (he's 3 years old too) :))
 
my girls to this when we go out to see them first thing in the morning ..... up and down the ramp/tunnel as 80mph!!
 
My boys do this too.

Iv notices aswell when my older boy Cheese popcorn's he rubs his face on the vetbed and then carry's on is this ok?

2nite i have watched them all run round in their run after each other as if they were all on a race course, They are so amusing !
 
Sparkle and crunchie zoom round the room and popcorn over the mat. suddenly they will stop dead still then start to squeak... honestly you wouldnt believe such a small thing could make so much noise
 
lol my boys were doing this again for ages today & they knocked over all the stuff in their run! It's soooo funny and nice to see.
