Hi everyone! We are getting our air vents cleaned in our home in a few minutes. I know that the machine they use is pretty loud, louder than a vacuum. I gave Cocoa and Oreo an extra huge amount of hay to hide in. I also put their snuggle sacks in their house in case it gets a bit chilly as they will have to shut off the heat; their room is also across from where the furnace is.

Is there anything else that I can do to help reduce their stress level during the cleaning?
 
Could you cover their cage, or move it elsewhere? Also put hay in/near their hides do they don’t have to go far to eat.
 
Sadly, they will be working in every room of the house. 😞 So moving them to a different location won't be possible. I could try closing their doors to see if that helps. They are used to loud noises as I have an 8 year old, 5 year old, and 2 year old who are very loud and the piggies don't flinch anymore with screaming, crying, or noisy toys. I will add the hay to their hideys. Thank you for your help!
