Activity in my secondary?

[TacomaHomeBrew]

So, I am on my second batch ever brewed. It is a lager, my final gravity was stable for a couple of days so I racked to a carboy and I am dry hopping with about 1.3oz of cascade pellets. There seems to be some activity going on, I can clearly see the swirling around of the hops, but I also see what seems to be faint fermentation from the yeast that did transfer over. Is this normal? Also, do yall think 7 days is long enough to dry hop the lager? Thanks for the help!

If the gravity was stable for three days, I woldn't expect actual fermentation - bubbles from a little release CO2 would be expected - but it's possible that you woke up the yeast when you racked it.

Either way, a little activity won't hurt anything.

That sometimes happens when dry hopping with yeast still in suspension. I don't dry hop till it's slightly misty or clear after a stable FG is reached.
