Pet's info: Small Animal | Guinea Pig | Male | unneutered | 2 lbs
My guinea pig randomly jumps. When I looked it up, it said that he could be having seizures. Is this normal?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sudden jumping could be normal while seizures are not normal or expected. It is hard to characterize this further without being able to see an episode or evaluate Russo. I recommend you consider recording one of these episodes and showing a video to us here or to your veterinarian to determined what seems likely. That would be next step. Hopefully these are not seizures or anything concerning. Good luck and have a great day!
