He is probably perfectly fine. Guinea pigs have unique ways of showing their delight. One of these include "popcorning", a series of small jumps the guinea pig does when he's happy. However, you should check around the cage and take a look at the daily routine to make absolutely sure nothing is out of the ordinary. If you feel this is a problem, feel free to contact a vet and get their opinion.

∙ 12y agoI also had a guinea pig and he did that alot. His cage was in my room in the basement which meant bugs. Maybe bugs are bothering your guinea pig? Eventually, one night we had to take him to the vet because he was dying. I don't know if the jumping and twitching had anything to do with that. Good luck :)

Rabbits can not mate with guinea pigs. If the rabbit tries to mate with a guinea pig, it means that:They shouldn't live together. Rabbits and guinea pigs shouldn't share a cage because rabbits get easily scared and can accidentally hurt the piggies.Your rabbit could be trying to show dominance but again, give each one its own cage. A rabbit trying to be dominant could hurt the guinea pig.You should separate them when the rabbit mounts the guinea pig. Otherwise, if they get along, they can be together when you're there to supervise, but never when they're alone.
