Popcorning?

[rem]

I've seen it mentioned several times, but I searched and didn't find any good answers, what is it?

It's where they hop from all fours (sorta) and is usually an indication they're happy. Baby chins do it a lot, few of my adult chins do. Youtube has some videos you can watch of popcorning in action.

Some of them even give a little wiggle at the top of the jump. It is really funny to watch. They literally bounce all over the cage like popping popcorn.

Here are some babies doing it. They love to do it when there is dust involved.

Ha! I thought popcorning referred to the crazy hopping that one of my chins does when she is let out for playtime, but I wasn't sure until I saw the video. She does it about 5 or 6 times when she if first let out. It ALWAYS makes me laugh!
