I've small probs in comparison to most of you on here.
I'm still all shook up. Out of the blue this afternoon we seemed in the middle of a firing range! Thumps shot under the dressing table & then over the bed, window sill etc. screaming, in blind terror & probably pain from the deafening noise. He could have slipped & broken his back. Thank god the curtains were closed against the heat, & I only ever leave the window open a crack or he would have shot straight through out of a 1st floor window! Roadmen were using a machine to tar over road markings right outside. THEY have hearing defenders! - Got them to stop long enough to catch Thumps [eventually] - very short but far too hot car ride to local park, sat it out together under a tree - thankfully no out of control dogs around.
He's so well balanced, no probs Nov.5th, no probs when they resurfaced the road. He has gut probs,& not eaten for last 5 hours. I just hope we don't go down that road.
Had a very self controlled civilized discussion with the council - they didn't get the point that if it did that to MY pet all the other animals must have been terrified too. Said they've GOT to use a powerful machine!!! THEY didn't before! ps a screaming rabbit thinks it's a gonner - caught by predator usually.
