Can't feed specific user's creatures - Says "Fed today!"

Hi!

I rarely visit this site (Only log on occasionally to keep up with friends), so forgive me if I'm a bit out of touch (Or with that, completely clueless, I frequent on other similar sites which ultimately led me here).

Sometime ago my sister made an account for herself, she has roughly 25 creatures, most in good health thanks to other feeders. She's presently away, and will remain so for quite some time, so I promised to make sure her creatures were fed during her absence (By feeding from my account of course, no point in checking them in to Tim's).

Unfortunately, I've been absent myself the past three days or so. Today, I logged on to feed her creatures, only to find this message on each creature's page:

"Fed today!"

I found this to be odd, I haven't been on several days and I just logged in for the first time today.

Is... There any reason why this has occurred? I'm not on the recently fed list for any creature, and I as I said before, haven't fed them the past few days.

We have logged on from the same device once or twice, but we don't live in the same area so this would be an uncommon occurrence. Is there some rule forbidding accounts that have been linked to the same IP from feeding each other's creatures, or were we possibly (Accidentally) tagged as being the same person or something..? Not sure what the rules regarding multiple accounts are here.

I put in a ticket (Not sure if this was the right thing to do), but I did anyway. I did so without recalling that this site had a help forum.

So... Is there any reason why it would say that I've fed them all, despite never having had done so?

@tyuio_k50 i don't know if i helpful for you, but i try with my cousin when she come at my home.
i give her my pc for feed her creatures and after, if i log in with my account, i can't feed her creatures.
I think it's for the ip address.
I hope is a good explanation 😊

Hmm, how far away is she? When I went to Thailand (I'm American), my sister and I were able to feed separately. As long as you share the same IP address, you both cannot feed. Though I'm not really a techy person...

I'd say I need more information. Like, do you both use a desktop or laptop? Or do you have separate IP addresses?

@tyuio_k50 Multiple devices can and do share the same IP address. If the devices are connected to the same router or network they will share an IP address. This is just the way routers/networks work.

Yep, my phone and laptop share the same IP when connected to my router, by cable or wifi.

@tyuio_k50

Yeah. As stated by Orderedchaos, two devices can be under the same IP address. So she may have logged on and fed them before the 24 hours was up. Try feeding them now. ;D
