#bitty heat

how is teddy? oWo

Teddy is... Okay.

Being separated from his original caretaker was stressful for all parties involved, and we had to isolate him away from the rest of the Residents until his heat cycle had properly run its course. Halim and I have been doing research into supplements that would soothe and possibly suppress future heat cycles, which is honesty not something I’m entirely comfortable doing since heat cycles are an unfortunate but natural occurrence for certain bitty types. But Teddy’s cycle was...

Intense.

Yandere lines bitties do have a tendency to more frequent and intense cycles, but Teddy was not only under duress from the physical stress but the emotional stress of rejection as well as separation from his chosen human. He actually became quite violent at one point, and he lashed out at both Halim and myself. It was sheer luck that had Key showing up, as he managed to contain Teddy before he could really hurt anyone.

With all of that together with his less than mature mental state, Halim and I agreed that maintaining a continuous mild suppressant would be safer and healthier for Teddy at this time. It’s something I’m personally not all that happy about, I’m not a fan of medicines that alter the mental state, but in this case it’s necessary for Teddy to have a better quality of life.

what would you guys do if bitties you fostered experience heat?

From my experience, bittybones that experience heats are pretty rare and often take place either when certain criteria are met or on a specific cycle. Often times, a bitty will know when a heat is approaching, and will usually take matters into their own hands in dealing with the issue, since it’s considered very private and can often be embarrassing.

If we did end up with a foster bitty going into heat in our care, the first thing we would do would be to separate them from the general population for their safety and the safety of those around them. We would then contact the caretaker to inform them of the situation and see if there’s any previous instances to better get an idea of what would help the bitty most in the situation. Armed with information, we would then do everything in our power to make sure the bitty in question would be comfortable and cared for in their time of need. 

Heats vary drastically from bitty to bitty, even within their individual types, so it really boils down to communication and accommodation of the bitty’s needs. The only thing we will not do at the center is provide a partner, since usually bitties in such a state would be considered ‘under the influence’ for the duration of their heat. Just like it’s a bad idea to have sex when drunk or high, it’s a bad idea for a bitty to be allowed to make drastic decisions while in heat. Unless there is explicit permission and consent provided by all parties involved beforehand, a bitty in our care while in heat must make do with relief toys and other activities.

Bitty owners'd be like: ShUt Up My BiTtYs ArE fInE

...Then they come and ask for a refund. Buy yourself some time and invest in a shock collar and some neutering, Karen. We don't do refunds anyway!
