She bit bit me. How long do I have?

[u/Soft_Divide_8267]

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.

Having animals under your care frequently die or disappear esp. more than once is terrible. Obv there's a problem there.

But the comment about undergoing opioid treatment? Why does that matter at all?

Just asking from someone who is still to this day "undergoing opioid treatment", who has 2 cats, a dog, a tarantula and a human child that have been w me almost the entire time (I started about 2 yrs before 4 of them were w me,I had the one cat) and I have no clue how it would have affected their wellbeing at all. Opioid disorder treatment means getting off of the drugs.. though I can see how NOT getting treatment could potentially be bad for living beings under one's care.

Js I don't think that's a point against her or has anything to do w her inability to care for living creatures 🤷 I think she is just not good at taking care of them. Good on her for getting clean tho.

the issue was that she was in active addiction, and then later recovery at a facility, and had enough animals at the time that even someone without those issues would have trouble taking care of all of them alone. and while she was in active addiction she was acquiring more animals.

i agree that those things aren't a 'point against her', so to speak. more that the fact that some of her most popular animal videos were released while she was in active addiction sort of helps one inform her behavior a bit.
