so lately.. when i go to sit by my chinnies cage and play with him.. he does this weird jumping thing.
its hard to describe in words.. but he jumps like..
he goes to the other shelves in his cage and is on all 4 legs.. but suddenly jumps like (it looks like he has springs under his feet ) its more of a spastic hop.. like 10-15 cm off the shelf hes on then down. its hard to explain.. but imagine holding something really hot and it hurts ur fingers so u kind of throw it in the air slightly and catch it..


haha tyhat was a horrible explanation but hopefully someone on here understands what im tryng to explain!
please tell me if u do, and if ur chin does this at all.
lol:wacko:

forgot to mention he does the hop like twice in a row.. then comes back to the door where im sitting to greet me. haha.

That's called popcorning and it means he's really happy and content

Sounds like a popcorn to me, they do that when they're excited. It kind of looks like a little spasm.
