hamster weight

[arikata]

I've come up with a program which helps to monitor hamster weight using excel:


It uses a form which you fill in which then fills in the information in the correct feild. There is a drop down box from which I can select a hammie or I can enter a new hamster name.

I have ordered a digital kitchen scale from amazon which should arive on friday, once I've filled in a couple of weeks I will post a screen shot.

I thought it would be handy in order to work out if Jaffa Cake is preggers or not! I will be interesting to monitor my darlings weight as they grow up as well.

Hi Well done you lot of keeping an eye on hammies weight. I like the idea of the program. I just keep an eye on them. Tochi my oldest hammy has lot weight at the moment am watching him.

It's really easy to put it into a graph! This is just an example:



At the minute I'm trying to come up with a way of getting the program to anyone that wants it.

I'm also trying to concieve a program in which you can find a hamsters stats easily.

At the minute I'm using a print out which I fill in with all the information such as DOB, colour and all that jazz.[/img]

Would you be willing to distribute this?

I'll confess, mine have a much more basic spreadsheet - which I normally potter with, at work. At home it's more post-its and scribblings on the back of my hand

That is a really good idea - why didnt we think of that? lol

I would be more than happy to distribute it! I'm working on a couple of things, just to get it to perfection first though! I will stick it on ebay and just charge for price of a disk and p&p, will that be ok?
