How to Mark an Animal as Weaned
Record an individual animal as weaned without weaning the whole litter. Use this for off-cycle weans or when only some pups in a litter are ready — Moustra stamps the wean date and optionally moves the animal to a new cage in one step.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Open the animal
Click Animal in the navigation menu and open the row of the animal you want to mark.
Open the actions menu
Click the Actions dropdown at the top of the animal detail page.
Click Mark Weaned
Pick Mark Weaned from the menu. The option is greyed out for animals already marked weaned, with a tooltip showing the existing wean date.
Enter the wean details
Pick a Wean Date — it defaults to today. Optionally pick a New Cage to move the animal into, and add a Note for context.
Pro Tip
Leave **New Cage** blank if the animal stays put — only set it if you're transferring the animal as part of weaning.
Confirm
Click Mark Weaned to save. The animal's header shows a "Weaned" status chip and the wean reminder is cleared.
