Locking and pausing

Lock a gecko from the actions on its own page when you want to set it aside. Its biological clock stops: it does not age, grow, shed or breed until you unlock it. It also stays out of the geckos that eat or take treats. The page shows what is waiting under While locked. Unlock it there when it is ready to rejoin the program.

A pause of the whole collection holds every gecko's clock and its waiting timers. Collection shows what was ready before the pause and offers Resume Collection. Read that summary before resuming; then care and other clocks continue from where they waited. The Automatic Mister and Springtail Culture wait too. See Daily care for the routine once the collection is running again.
