Welp, my dad and I definitely need to do some work with his Darwin.
Came home to find the thermostat beeping at me for the second time in two days, so opened to take a look and found it was under her kriter krumble - reached in, not thinking about it, to move it out in the open again and she tagged me from her shelf...
She's bitten my father and I a few times through the years now and at her current size of at least 2.5 metres, dad thinks closer to 2.7, it hurts a lot these days. I feel like most are "get away from me" bites as she rarely ever bites and holds, not even sure if today's was that or a mistaken food bite - might have been the latter even though she didn't manage to wrap around, combo of hand moving from the hit and her reaction to the texture, since she's been looking out at me or down from her shelf ever since.
Sorta already feel like part of what needs doing is working to break the association she has with the door only really opening for food.
Any tips would be gratefully received.
