popcorning
Rodent happiness hops
Popcorning is a sudden jumping motion that small animals make when excited or happy, especially guinea pigs and rabbits.
The animal springs straight up, often twisting midair, resembling kernels of corn popping: The guinea pig started popcorning around the cage when she heard the refrigerator open.
The behavior signals contentment and playfulness.
