Guinea Pig Health Record

Health Record for a guinea pig colony — log clinical observations with strain, IDs and status, under IACUC-style record-keeping. Offline and private. For vivarium staff.

Keep an organised, exportable record of your guinea pig colony — use it to log clinical observations. Built for vivarium staff working under IACUC / ethics oversight, where complete, retrievable records (strain, parentage, health, headcount) are mandatory. Everything stays in your browser and exports to CSV for your annual review.

This complements — it does not replace — your facility's official animal records. Keep entries current so census, parentage and health histories are audit-ready. Export to CSV for annual IACUC / ethics review.

No guinea pig records yet. Add the first one above (e.g. strain Hartley). Records sort newest-first and export to CSV for IACUC reporting.

A husbandry / colony planning aid only. All animal work must follow your approved IACUC / ethics protocol, the ARRIVE guidelines and local animal-welfare law. Veterinary staff have the final say on health decisions.

Free guinea pig health record for vivarium staff: log clinical observations with IACUC-ready records, export to CSV — offline and private.

About Guinea Pig Health Record

A free, offline health record for a guinea pig colony. Keep an organised, exportable record of your guinea pig colony — use it to log clinical observations.

How to use Guinea Pig Health Record

  1. 1Add each guinea pig (or cage/tank) with its ID and the key details for this log type.
  2. 2Update status (Active, Breeding, On study, Retired, Deceased) as the colony changes; for guinea pigs, weaning is typically around day 21.
  3. 3Export the colony to CSV for IACUC reporting, a vet review, or handover to another technician.

Why use Guinea Pig Health Record?

  • Lets vivarium staff log clinical observations in one place — no spreadsheet sprawl, and every record is dated and exportable.
  • Captures the fields IACUC and ethics reviewers expect for guinea pigs (identity, strain such as Hartley, parentage, health and status) so your colony stays audit-ready.
  • Offline and private: animal IDs, genotypes and health notes are stored only in your browser. Export to CSV for your facility's records or annual review.

Frequently asked questions

What does this guinea pig health record help me do?+

It lets vivarium staff log clinical observations for a guinea pig colony with a clean, dated, exportable record. Instead of a fragile spreadsheet, you get a structured log of identity, strain, parentage, health and status that you can hand to a reviewer or the next technician at any time.

Does it meet IACUC / animal-welfare record requirements?+

It is designed around the record fields IACUC and ethics committees expect, but it complements — it does not replace — your facility's official system. Keep entries contemporaneous, follow your approved protocol and the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, and export to CSV so your records are complete and retrievable at audit.

Can I track breeding and pedigree?+

Yes — record sire and dam IDs, pairing dates and litters, and the log builds the parentage history you need for colony genetics and to avoid unintended inbreeding. Weaning for guinea pigs is usually around day 21, which you can schedule from the date of birth.

Is the animal data kept private?+

Yes. Everything lives in your browser via localStorage — no account, no upload, no server. That keeps protocol numbers, genotypes and health notes confidential and lets the tool run offline in the vivarium. Export to CSV whenever you need a shareable or archival copy.
