Answer 1

She is just popcorning. She must be excited or happy after hearing something.

My guinea pigs do that when they hear plastic noises thinking that they're getting treats! :)

Dont worry, used to worry when i first had my guinea pig years ago. :)

It might be her "pop corning" if she is doing little jumps in the air.  If it is, then it means she is very happy and excited.

either its popcorning or shes sneezing and may need the cage cleaned

Answer 4
