are your piggies afraid of thunder?

Harvey and Artie weren't bothered by it last night (it was thundering and lightening for a good two hours!) and Percy hid under his cosy....
 
Its been really bad with thunder and lightning here today, pigs don't seem bothered, rabbits slept through it, totally relaxed. My collie jumped out of his skin, came and hid behind me then went and hid under my sons play table thingy. He hates it, my lurcher wasnt too happy either, but was too much effort to move from her bed.
 
Mine are not too bothered by either fireworks or thunder, but they live next to the tv, so they have learned to ignore a lot.

They are not too fond of Dr Who and other broadcasts with jarring noises, though!
 
the only reason i ask is its horrendus today in lincoln and i have 4 out of 6 very panicked piggies :(
 
I don't know about my gang, I cover them up at night if i know the weather is going to be bad. Last time it thundered I didn't hear a peep out of any of them.

If they are outside and not used to sudden, sharp noises, then they can easily be. Please add extra hay for them t burrow in and cover the cage/hutch to make them feel protected. That will hopefully help to relax them.
 
none of mine have ever been bothered.

I once went to a pet shop and the lady there told me one of her piggies jumped out of its skin when it thundered and dropped dead on the spot, dont know if this is true or not but it has always concerned me since then :{
 
i'm lucky cause the girls are downstairs, so thunder is so muted!
but if that bad noisey man (aka the OH, known as Grandpa) crashes around in the workshop they run and totally hide :{ LOL

Poor boys xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Mine live in the living room, between the TV and the kitchen doorway. They get lots of noise, cooking, the tv, the hoover, you name it. They dont seem bothered by a lot. My cats fightened to death of Thunder.

haha same :)
 
half an hour before the storm came we had Lottie out and she started grining her teeth but I didnt think nothing of it so Lottie must have known that the storm was coming! We held her until the storm had gone!
 
We had a horrible thunderstorm today! Bella and the twins all hid in various hideys and corners of the cage. Dobby hid in her little wooded house. Willow ignored it, and so did Bob and Fluffy. Enrico hid too though
