My rats don't mind the fireworks. In general all of my rats have always been very zen about any kind of noise outside, but very easily startled by sudden noises inside. So outside there can be shouting, sirens, fireworks, and they don't care, but if I drop something for example, they run and hide.

Well, I think fireworks are generalized enough it's a bit hard to tell where the noise is coming from, maybe?

But also, the freaking out really happens if they're home alone when there's fireworks. It's not 'safe indoors', it's 'safe with people.'
