Events

Events list

Anything that doesn't fit a built-in category (feeding, weight, shed) can go in as an Event.

Built-in event types

Every account starts with a useful baseline (you can disable any of these you don't use):

  • Injury
  • Regurgitation
  • Vet Visit
  • Health Check
  • Medication
  • Quarantine
  • Brumation
  • Gravid
  • Lay

Custom event types

Add your own at Account → Event types. Each type has:

  • Key/Name
  • Color — drives the dot color on the timeline

Examples keepers create:

  • "Misted enclosure"
  • "Probed to confirm sex"
  • "UV bulb replacement"
  • "Buyer deposit received"

Logging an event

Each event records an animal, event type, location, date, optional injury to animal / injury to person flags, notes, and file attachments. Events appear on the animal's timeline alongside feedings, weights, and sheds.

If you need to be reminded about overdue care conditions (feedings, weight drops, missed medications, shed schedules, or enclosure temperature/humidity), see Alert rules — that's the feature that handles automated notifications, including optional Discord delivery.
