We have realised there is no option to specify that there are no babysitters, or that a female or a pup has no mate-guard during oestrus or no escort during the escorting period, respectively. This is probably quite important to be able to record and differentiate between a period no mongoose is doing these behaviours because there is no opportunity to do so (e.g. no pups in the den, no females in oestrus), or simply that the observer missed recording this information.
Would it be possible to include the ability to do this? I think it should just be a case on adding in "None" as an available ID in these screen (as you already have down with the unknown ID ???).
