What's New

2026-09-10

• •New — Setup Check: eight questions about where things sit in your enclosure, checked against your species’ Ferguson zone. It catches the problems that take months to show up: UVB mounted out of range, the wrong bulb type entirely, a thermostat probe on the wrong surface, or no hide on the cool side.
• •New — Vet report: a printable summary of weight, feeding, shedding, stool and husbandry for one animal, with the patterns worth raising already picked out. Anything not recorded is stated plainly, so a gap never reads as a clean result.
• •New — “What changed?”: pick a symptom and a date, and the app reads your records back from the weeks before it — substrate swaps, bulb changes, a new feeder, temperature drift. Husbandry problems usually surface long after their cause.
• •New — Pet-sitter care sheet: a dated checklist for whoever covers while you travel, built from your own schedule, including the things they should NOT do and your vet’s number.
• •New — Import your collection from a spreadsheet or another app’s export. You confirm which column is which, so no particular format is needed, and duplicates are skipped.
• •New — Nutrition insights: supplementation and feeder variety read against your UVB provision, because dietary D3 and UV exposure are two routes to the same requirement and neither number means much alone.
• •Habitat Score now includes a Placement dimension driven by your Setup Check, so the grade reflects where your equipment is, not just what you own.
• •UVB guidance now follows Ferguson zones, the standard exotics vets use. Every species profile carries its zone, and a new guide explains what that means for choosing a bulb and setting its height.
• •Fixed — feeding logs recorded through a care task were being saved twice, which inflated every feeding count and could double an apparent refusal streak. Feeding history is also now tied to a specific animal rather than the whole enclosure.
• •Fixed — the print button did nothing inside the iOS app. Reports now use the share sheet there, and always tell you what happened.
• •Fixed — pop-ups opened near the bottom of the page instead of in view.
• •A visual overhaul throughout: a properly loaded typeface, a single consistent colour system, and flatter, calmer surfaces.
