The Menagerie Wellness Index
A score that means something.
Built on the Five Domains model — the animal welfare framework used in zoos and veterinary science — the Wellness Index reads your care logs and sensor data to show how each animal is actually doing. Not a streak counter. A welfare instrument.
Wellness Index · Waffles
Nutrition
Feeding frequency against species norms, feeding response, weight trend. A tarantula fasting three weeks is normal. A tegu isn't.
Environment
Temperature gradients, humidity, UVB age, photoperiod — with continuous sensor data weighted above manual logs.
Health
Shed and molt quality, waste consistency, medication compliance, body condition. A clean shed says a lot.
Behavior
Activity, enrichment, sightings, seasonal patterns — weighted for what's natural per species. Hiding isn't penalized.
Built for the way keepers actually keep
Tracks things you never thought to track.
◉ Sensors that log for you
Govee and SwitchBot integration streams temperature and humidity straight into each enclosure's record. No more clipboard checks.
☾ Sky stamps on every log
Moon phase, barometric pressure, and geomagnetic activity recorded automatically. Patterns you'd never catch by hand.
❋ Living terrariums
Bioactive enclosures tracked as ecosystems — establishment phases, seasons, provisions, plants, and the microfauna underneath it all.
⌂ The whole household
Share care with family and petsitters. Everyone logs to the same record, every animal stays covered.
✳ Every species
Reptiles, arachnids, myriapods, amphibians, mammals — species-aware care logic for each. One app for the entire collection.
◬ Citizen science
Opt in to contribute anonymized care data to the first longitudinal welfare dataset for captive exotic species.
"I started tracking my tegu. Then my boa, my tarantula, my cats, my millipede. So I built something that could handle all of them — and it turned out pretty cool."— Jason · Madcow Venture Company
