Frenetic random activity periods (FRAPs), also colloquially known as zoomies, scrumbling or midnight crazies,[1] are random bursts of energy occurring in dogs and cats in which they run frenetically, commonly in circles. They usually last a few minutes or less.[2][3][4] It is not known what causes animals to engage in FRAPs.[5][6] Some veterinary experts have noticed FRAPs are often associated with times of transition, such as the return of an owner.[7] Other non-domestic animals are also known to experience FRAPs, such as polecats and elephants.[8]
