Title: My chinchilla gives a little leap to the side sometimes...
Post by: almost vegan on February 12, 2012, 02:39:16 PM

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?

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.
