Answer 9

I would assume that something could have scared your guinea pig. They are startled very easily by just about anything. Maybe your kids moved to quickly for him? I would also think that he would be jumping around because he is happy. I have nine guinea pigs and some of them jump around, which means that they are happy. You should probably buy him a play pen so he can work off some of his excess energy. I let my guinea pigs have their individual runnung time and it really makes all the difference for their excess energy. Don't be frightened of his behavior. This is normal for all guinea pigs. Just give him exercise and lots of attention.

Answer 10

ask your vet but ask your vet on the phone if you pay to have yournguinea pig checked out. But he may have been scared

Answer 11

maybe one of them accidentally touched its butt......i know my guinea pigs go crazy when i do that...

good luck with your guinea pig. I hope everything goes ok.
