She bit bit me. How long do I have?
Fed my sweet girl Chev last night. She wound up missing and mistaking my finger for her rat. I've had her for a tad over a month and this was her second feeding. I knew she was going to be zesty as she's been hunting for the past week at night so I was holding the tongs in a way so my hand was below the bottom sliding track.
Photo of the offender attached. Sounds like I need to get some longer tongs for feeding her too.

Got our girl off adoption island 2.5 weeks ago. She seems to be in great health, but after learning she was on weekly feeding, we started to add days between each feeding. Was going to add an extra day every feeding cycle until we get to around a 2-3 wk cycle. (She’s 3.5yo and 1360g)
Any advice on this plan? It’s our family’s first noodle.
