Happy to hear it didn't kill them! Stress is caused for various reasons, and:
my friend was holding mr.finger the other day hand he latched on ther her jeens on the back of her leg and didnt let go for a while...then she took her pants off becouse she was freaking out with him hanging there,and then he let go haha then he did the same thing to my other friend, but he was hanging onto her pocket
These hermies are new to you and are suppose to be adjusting to their new home. They should be permitted R&R until they adjust to the new noise vibrations of your home.
And if she was holding him in a proper manner, not sure how on earth a hermie would get latched onto the BACK of her jeans???? As well as latching onto ones pocket. I can only imagine the screams, loud laughter, etc. that must of went on with the 'freaking out' at the time this happened. YES, stressful to the hermie!!
