when he's out of his cage, he jumps oddly. What does this mean?

Can you give us some more details?
Does it walk straight? Appear to be limping? Have other symptoms?

I'm a programmer not a chinchilla breeder. I learn by asking questions just like you.

My chin, Gallardo Puff, does this thing called "popcorning" when he's really happy. He will be running and then randomly jump up in the air and dart off. It's almost like a spaz.

Could yours be possibly doing that?

We call your "popcorning" the John Belushi :) Our Chins do it too.
