I know some pets really hate stormy weather, but it seems it just confuses my Marmite pig, he just sits and looks around when the wind howls like "What on earth is that ?" the dumb look on his face is the cutest thing ever !
Does this weather upset your piggies in any way ?
 
My guinea's are housed in a shed with windows and i have been down to feed them and they are fine, i think they miss going out in their runs when it is bad weather, but tomorrow is going to be better here so i hope to get them out then.
 
Nothing bothers my pigs, they were fine with fireworks and didn't bat an eyelid at the neighbours putting in their cavity wall insulation right next to their cage. Stupid piggies!
 
I bought my boys in last night as we had a weather warning so thought it was better than risking it.
I opened the window as the heater has gone a-wol (not on but burns to touch :{) whenever the wind blew they jumped out of their skins so i closed the window once it had cooled down and they just froze whenever they heard the wind :)
 
Yep, the gales and rain smashing on the windows in the last few days has really thrown my lot (although they're housed indoors).

Choccy will stop munching on food, pause and look around. Patches will dart straight for the nearest hidey-hole and rumble once hidden, because he's a scaredy cat!
 
The year before I was born, my parents got a guinea pig and didn't do any research. By the time that pig was 4 years old, I was 3 years old and the pig looked TERRIBLE and had a tiny cage and had eye infections and everything. One night there was a terrible thunder storm, and the pig was so sick, his little heart couldn't take it and he had a heart attack. RIP Cookie8...
 
My piggies are indoors but the chimney makes a weird howling noise when it windy and the door is shut, it used to bother them but are used to it now :)
 
Mine think the trees getting blown around and rain hitting the ground/shed/garage/whatever and making a racket sounds like food and promptly squeak for something yummy to be passed their way...rolleyes
 
Mine are indoors - they seem to like heavy rain, they sit and listen to it lol! Not really bothered about anything else (OH is scared of thunder and my nickname for him is Piggy - does that count?) :))
