I did think it best to clarify that Nick was specifically rejected for being a fox, not necessarily just a predator.

* Why is it that while Nick felt betrayed and got very upset about Judy's careless parroting of the doctor in the secret facility's preliminary speculation about the cause of the HatePlague at the press conference, other predators like Clawhauser (who was even having his career messed up as a result) and Mrs. Otterton continue to be on speaking terms with her? Because he's the only one among them who'd previously had a traumatizing experience with discrimination. He reacted so intensely because it brought back memories of how the bullies beat up and muzzled him as a kid for being a "dangerous predator" and felt especially betrayed since it came from the first person he'd ever opened up to about the issue. Of course, the fact that he'd previously noticed how she carried Fox Repellent Spray didn't help either. But as a whole, it is likely that the other predators just saw her actions at that press conference for what they were: those of an investigator who didn't know exactly what was going on but tried to relay the facts of the case to the best of her knowledge, and they didn't really blame her for the ensuing unrest. He likely realized not long afterwards that he overreacted and shouldn't have taken it so personally, which is why he was so quick to completely forgive her when she came back, albeit after enjoying listening to her grovel for a bit.

In fact, a lot of prey animals that aren't strictly herbivores will eat meat if they can get it, because it's an easy source of nutrients--whether that means scavenging carrion, eating their own dead, or snacking on smaller animals like insects.

He's far too erudite and articulate to be a common crook (compare how Nick talks to someone like Weaselton or Finnick, who are much rougher and less well-spoken). She may have immediately caught on that Nick is trying to mask something (in this case that he wanted to be more than a conman)

* Why didn't Judy recognize the common name for Night Howlers and their effects on animals, considering even someone like Gideon Grey knew about them growing up at Bunnyburrow?

Stu also uses the plants to keep bugs off of the produce. He knows that the plants have a psychotic effect on children when consumed due to the incident with Uncle Terry, but he may not have known that this was common knowledge enough for them to have a nickname in reference to it. Also, it's possible the nickname "Night Howler" is an impolite term (re: wolves), so Judy's parents just didn't use it where Gideon's parents did. Regarding the effects of the plant, Judy's mother could have been uncomfortable sharing the story where her brother attacked and bit her. So Judy didn't associate Night Howlers with feral insanity because it was a story she had never heard until now. Gideon is actually the one who specifically brings up the common name for them, saying "I always just called them Night Howlers", or something like that. So even if Judy ''was'' aware of its negative effects, that pretty much confirms that Stu just never used the casual term for it around her. This is well within the realm of possibility, since even IRL, many formerly common phrases have been phased out due to being socially unacceptable. "Being gypped" or "getting Jewed" have both fallen out of common parlance, and are just a few examples of this in action.
