Tiels are hard-wired to fear straight objects (snakes=predators in Australia). Shiloh nearly killed herself a couple of years after I brought her home panic-flying and I couldn't figure out what was causing it. When I say in a panic she was straight out trying to escape. She hit the sliding glass doors a couple of times. I managed to catch her but then the object that was freaking her out would freshly freak her out again and she'd take off. I had to concentrate on finding out what the heck was causing it. It turned out to be a pair of pantyhose that I had draped over a chair to air dry.
