Specifying how you'll be weighing the animals

In brief

If you choose to record your animals' weights then you will need to specify how you'll actually weigh the animals, either manually, or using the ANY-maze Animal scales.

Details

There are two options for how you will weigh the animals:

The simplest method is to use the ANY-maze Animal scales, as the scales integrate into ANY-maze. At the appropriate moment in the experiment you will be prompted to place the animal on the scales, the animal will be weighed and you'll then be prompted to remove the animal from the scales - the animal's weight will be recorded automatically.

Alternatively you can weigh the animals manually. Again, ANY-maze will prompt you at the appropriate moment in the experiment, to enter the animal's weight. You will need to weigh the animal and then type in the weight.

Full details about weighing the animals during an experiment can be found here.

Editing your choice

You can change the way in which you weigh animals at any time, even during an experiment. There are no restrictions or repercussions.
