Biometric data collection system for small animals utilizing gloves with multiple electrodes

A method of using a biometric data collecting system for small animals, the method comprising:

• providing a biometric data collecting system for small animals, the system comprising:
• a glove comprising thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger, and palm portions;
• a first electrode comprising a conductive material disposed on the index finger portion and the thumb portion of the glove;
• and
• a second electrode, electrically isolated from the first electrode, and comprising a conductive material disposed on the ring finger portion, little finger portion, and the palm portion below the ring finger portion and the little finger portion of the glove;
• wearing the biometric data collecting system on a hand of a user;
• holding a small animal generally in the palm portion with an anterior of the animal held between the index finger portion and thumb portion creating a first point of contact for the first electrode on the animal, and a posterior of the animal held between the ring finger portion and/or little finger portion and the portion of the palm below the ring finger portion and little finger portion creating a second point of contact for the second electrode on the animal separate from the first point of contact;
• and
• measuring and collecting biometric data using the first point of contact for the first electrode on the animal and the second point of contact for the second electrode on the animal separate from the first point of contact.
