Reptile Feeding and Care Schedules

Scheduling tells Scutely what care is due and when. Set a schedule on a single animal or a whole group, then work through what’s due in the To-Do area.

Creating a schedule

The New schedule sheet with a Schedule For selector (Groups, Breeding, Individual, Personal), a list of groups and racks to pick, and a Care Type grid (feeding, water change, cleaning, and more).

Tap Schedule — from the To-Do area, a group, or an animal’s profile — and set it up:

  1. Choose what it’s for. A single animal, a group or rack, a breeding group, or just you (a personal reminder not tied to an animal).
  2. Pick the care type — feeding, cleaning, water, misting, or medication. You can also schedule your own custom event types and breeding events.
  3. Set the repeat:
    • Once — a single due date.
    • Every X days — e.g. every 7 days.
    • Weekly — pick the weekdays it should happen.
    • Monthly — a day of the month.
  4. Choose reminders (optional) — how many days ahead you want a heads-up, and whether to be nudged again if a task slips past its day. See Care reminders.
  5. Save.
The lower half of the New schedule sheet: a Repeat selector (Once, Every X days, Weekly, Monthly), a Due date row, a Feeder and Qty row, and Remind Me options.

For a feeding schedule you can also set the feeder and quantity here, or leave the feeder blank to use each animal’s own prey item.

When you schedule care on a group, every animal in it follows along — one schedule covers the whole rack.

The To-Do area

The To-Do area has three tabs:

Today

The Today tab: an Overdue count, then tasks grouped into Groups, Individual, and Personal sections, each animal with Fed / Refused / Skip buttons and a Mark all shortcut per group.

Everything due today, as an easy check-off list, grouped by group, rack, or stack and by individual animals. Anything overdue shows at the top.

Check a task off with its outcome:

  • Fed or Refused for feeding (this also logs the feeding event for you).
  • Done for other care.
  • Skip if you’re not doing it this time.

Logging the care event yourself — by scanning or by hand — also checks the task off automatically, so you never do it twice.

Calendar

The Calendar tab: a month grid with dots marking days that have scheduled care, and the selected day's tasks listed below (a breeding hatch estimate and a group feeding), with a Schedule button.

A month view of what’s coming up, as far out as you’ve scheduled. Tap a day to see its tasks. Future days are read-only — you check tasks off on the day they’re due.

Pick List

The Feeder Pick List: a date-range selector, a By item / By group / By animal toggle, and a Feeder Order listing prey items with quantities (Large Cricket 12, Small Rat 11, and more) and a total, plus Image / Copy / Email / Print export buttons.

Your upcoming feedings turned into a shopping-style list, grouped by prey item and size, with date ranges. Switch between By item, By group, and By animal, then export or share it so you know exactly what to pull for feeding day. See Care groups, racks & cage stacks for the per-group feeder breakdown.

If some animals don’t have a prey item set yet, the Pick List shows a banner so you can set them in a few taps.
