What is the Mating Check Box (upper right) used for?
This is a piece of information that Mouse Colony uses to determine that the mating is active. This is important to obtain a list of Current Matings and for the information to be displayed in the Mating Status box. Although the user can check and uncheck this box at will, Mouse Colony takes care of it most of the time. For example, it includes the check when the mating is created and erases it when Pups are weaned or the mating is terminated. However, most of this “updating” is done when Mouse Colony is launched. Therefore, if you have kept Mouse Colony opened for several days the information may not be up to date.
