[net.pets] guinea pigs

The behavior you are describing is normal for females.  I have had several 
over the years and they have all done this.  It seems to be related to their
environment...they do this when they're content.  Females also seem to do this 
jumping and twitching more often when they're in heat.  Males exhibit a similar
behavior ...but their's is a more vocal response (mine whistles when I enter theroom and also chatters to himself when alone). Hope this helps.
