Thought i would ask the question to all of you after having a very funny experience with Ruby just now.

I had Ruby in on her own sat cuddled on the blanket on my knee, i asked my mum if she could go and get a little carrot with tops, with the thinking Ruby could have a little nibble and then i could let the girls share it. Mum brings in the washed carrot with tops, i go to put it down- and the top touched ruby's head...well she bolted bless her. Even once i had put it down she wouldn't eat/look at it and kept moving around to get away from it.
Once i popped it in she luckily regained her courage and tucked in with the others.

Tell us your scaredy piggy stories :)
 
I don't think mine a scared of anything, they're all bold, brave and incredibly cheeky!

LOL at Ruby and the killer carrot top!

Keys and Hay

My OH father always has lots of keys on his belt and they jangle when he walks. As soon as the piggies hear this they lift up their head, stand really still, then start looking from left to right. It rather comical to watch.

Chika also scares herself with hay or straw, She will go rummaging around in a pile and get her head covered in it. If there is a little bit of on her face and she can see it dangling down in front of her she will start backing up until she realises that all she had to do is shake her head.
 
lol my two piggies hate keys too they make a kind of brrr noise when they hear it :)) they also hate sneezes, the message tone on my phone, high heeled shoes on the wooden floor,
 
My girls are scared when I have hiccups. I try so hard to stop them as I hate scaring them but sometimes I just can not!
 
The sweeping brush !

Although i use a vacuum most of the time, it's not always as good at picking hay and hair up so i use the sweeping pan and brush, Bentley and Chester are petrified of it, they popcorn at the sound of a hoover, but the brush no way, too scary for them !

Then the usual, coughs, sneezes etc. all the terrifying things pigs hate.

And Marmite is so fussy about my taste in music, and also keys, the second anything jangles, he's rumbling away like a mad thing, i hate scarring him but it always makes me laugh grumpy boy rolleyes
 
hello,

My two piggies really hate and get scared when I am cleaning my home with the vacuum cleaner, so i use to place them in other room, while cleaning the living room where they are placed.

The same story goes, when my brothers plays on his instruments while being at home. The interesting thing is that they get too scared when he plays on his violin only( they totally ignored the piano and the guitar; whenever he plays them, they keep doing their business). In the same moment they hear the sound of his violin, they hide one in another, and stop all moves- keep standing like frozen picture for minutes... :Ayociexp113:
 
Mine are scared of sparrows. They're fine with other birds, but there's something about sparrow noises that makes them run for cover. Bless :(|)
 
I've noticed when they have heard a phone ringing noise or alarm beep sound on tv they give a 'brrr'like a warning sound back at it!
 
Mine hate the phone ringing and the 'beeps' the keys make when dialling a number.

The man across the road has a very noisy motorbike and loves to rev it outside our house, 2 of mine are terrified and makes them dash for their pigloos, Choccy starts wheeking at it and teeth chattering, almost to say "How dare you disturb the peace?!"
 
I can't think of anything my elder two are scared of. Gilbert sometimes does bolt for it if you catch him by surprise when entering the room but its rare. I just chuckle at him and tell him to stop being so wimpy and he comes out.

The younger two hate the hoover though. They are getting better with it but they still are alert when it comes out.

Sparrows dont bother my lot, they're that cheeky, they help themselves to seeds from theirfood bowl. The main birds mine are really scared of are seagulls. As we live in a coastal port, we are overrun with the bloody things!

My Dad has a motorbike, and my lot come out when they hear it. He's a bit of a soft touch and gives them.treats when he comes back from work :)
 
Mine used to be scared of every loud sudden noise, but he has got a lot braver.

and now just hates any phone ringing, even if it is on the TV
 
Our neighbours have these two really annoying dogs that only ever stay on their porch, which overlooks us. Whenever they see something move in our garden, like a bird flying past, or a kid jumping on the trampoline, they bark like mad! My buddy get super freaked out by this, and when someone mows the lawn or plays any sort of heavy metal music :P
 
Since My pig as lived in the same spot for over 4 years now, footsteps (people running/walking by) don't bother her, they used to. Now she is mostly scared or the bathtub and nail trimmers and the SHOPVAC and anything loud.
 
My girls hate the sound of metal on metal like keys jangling or money being dropped anything high pitched will make them rumble!
 
Shae hates when I play music from my iPod. She squeaks the second it turns off and when it's on she makes her little rumbling noise and hides in her igloo. She's not very fond of the vacuum or my hiccups either.
 
mine dont like tapping noises they rumble and hide :))

and also when my kids whale, i dont blame them realy they've both got a good set of lungs on them!
 
Mine apparently doesn't like ice cubes! Just tried seeing if he wanted a lick of a little bit of ice and he bolted across the cage haha rolleyes
