guinea pig wiggle

Question
Is it normal for my 2 month old boy guinea pig to jerk like he is having a seizure when I hold him?  He is scaring me.  It is like he can't control it.  He does it also when he is in his play pen with his mom and sister while I watch them.

Answer
Hmmm, it sounds like he COULD be popcorning. Popcorning is spontaneous leaping into the air. Most people describe this as their pig is having a seizure or "spazzing" out. They popcorn when they are happy./This behavior is completely normal. I hope this helps. If I can pass along anymore info to you, I will most certainly try. I hope this helps. I wish you a lifetime of health, happiness, and love. :) Have a nice day, and remember to cherish your pigs!
