I vacuum my house all the freakin' time.... (yea, that's important to know)... with 4 fur-kids, ya kinda have too. Ryuu [beardie] ignores the vacuum and the dorky dog chasing it around, and normally Kirin just kinda hid and ignored Max and I trying to vacuum the bedroom... but today, I don't know if it's because I was vacuuming later in the evening or what but he completely spazzed out. I heard a squeak and he took off like a shot and tried to climb the tank wall to get away. I turned it off and made sure he was ok.... I put him back in his warm hide and he was ok after that... Obviously they can be startled, but you don't think it's detrimental to their health, do you? Don't want to scare the little fella to death just trying to clean house
