Most hamsters benefit from 15–30 minutes of supervised out‑of‑cage time per day. Syrian hamsters tend to be more active and may enjoy longer sessions, while dwarf varieties may tire more quickly. Always ensure the play area is escape‑proof, free of hazards, and at a comfortable room temperature (65–75°F / 18–24°C). Use this tracker to find your pet's sweet spot!

Rabbits thrive with 2–4 hours of daily free‑roam time in a bunny‑proofed space. Guinea pigs need at least 1–2 hours outside their enclosure each day. Both species are social and benefit from interaction during playtime. Consistent daily exercise helps prevent obesity, boredom, and digestive issues like GI stasis in rabbits.

You can add as many pets as you like using the "New Pet" button. Each pet gets its own name, type, and emoji. Switch between pets using the dropdown selector — all records are stored per pet and per date. The weekly chart aggregates all pets together, while the daily log shows individual sessions clearly labelled by pet name.

Yes! Each session in today's log has a delete button (trash icon). If you need to correct a duration, simply delete the entry and re‑log it manually using the "Log Manually" button, where you can specify exact start and end times. All changes are saved instantly to your browser's local storage.

The tool automatically saves the timer state. If you close the tab and return later, the running timer will be restored and continue counting. You can then stop it to save the full duration, or cancel it if the session is no longer relevant. The timer also persists across page refreshes.

Use the "Daily Goal" input field below the timer to set your target in minutes (5–480). The progress bar updates in real time as you log sessions. Different species have different needs — hamsters may do well with 20–30 minutes, while rabbits need 120+ minutes. Adjust the goal per your pet and veterinarian recommendations.

All data is stored locally in your browser using localStorage — it never leaves your device. Data persists until you clear your browser data. You can export all records as a JSON file using the export button (if available) or simply keep using the tool — your history remains intact across sessions on the same device and browser.

Most small pets are comfortable at 65–75°F (18–24°C). Avoid drafts, direct sunlight, and loud noises. Ensure the floor is clean and free of small objects they could swallow. For rabbits and guinea pigs, provide hide boxes so they can retreat if overwhelmed. Always supervise — small pets can squeeze into tiny spaces or chew hazardous items like electrical cords.

Signs of adequate exercise include: healthy weight, calm demeanor when in their enclosure, normal grooming habits, and enthusiasm during playtime. Conversely, bar chewing, pacing, excessive digging, or lethargy may indicate insufficient out‑of‑cage time. Use this tracker to establish a consistent routine and monitor trends over weeks.

Tracking out‑of‑cage time helps you build a consistent routine, spot patterns (e.g., "Fluffy gets less playtime on busy weekdays"), and ensure each pet receives adequate daily exercise. It's especially useful for multi‑pet households, for pet sitters who need clear guidelines, and for sharing accurate information with your veterinarian about your pet's activity levels.
