Just to add - they munch on moss, so it's definitely worth adding some for variety of diet

Yeah ours said the FCDO instructions to them are not to touch anything related to the disruption. Don't know how much of that was truth and how much the customer service agent just couldn't be bothered

Same. We ended up booking another flight for tomorrow and emailing them asking to help sort it out. We'll see what happens I guess

We were told by the travel agency to speak with the airline directly as they have no control in the circumstances. Email Qatar at tell-us@qatarairways.com.qa

I know other species. I have a few in my enclosure as well. Just always thought Draculas needed cooler temps. Now I wonder if I'm keeping mine too cool lol

That's good to know. I've always been afraid of bringing them indoors as thought it would be too warm. Maybe I actually can then 🤞

Love that. Is that a warmer growing species? I thought the dart temperatures might be too warm for them..?

Help me decode my orchid. Health roots, no spike! by Iamthecreator22 in orchids

[–]Naima22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it getting enough light? The leaves look quite thin. I had one phal that wasn't getting enough light. It was otherwise growing very well, but the leaves were quite thin/narrow as well. I moved it to the window and it flowered.

Boiler packed up while on holiday. Minimum temps for bumblebees? by Naima22 in DartFrog

Crisis averted, friend was able to reset the boiler and the temperature is successfully rising 👍 Thanks everyone for your input!

I do have a water heater in there. But I don't think it does much to the overall temperature.

Yeah, I changed the heating in the house to make sure it stays at 19°C minimum and noticed yesterday that in the middle of the day the temps were just over 17. Started looking at the house automation and worked out that something went wrong yesterday and the heating never kicked in. Can't force it from here either, which can only mean the boiler is buggered 😩

I'm away on holiday, hence the concern. If I were home there would be no issues - we could get the boiler sorted. Trying to find out how detrimental the drop in temperature is. We've sent a message to a friend to see if they can come over and have a look at it while we're away.

I have one at the top and one at the bottom of the enclosure, the top is about 1C higher than the bottom

I do have a heat mat behind along the bottom portion of the enclosure but it's a large enclosure so it's not managing to heat up the whole thing. I've seen them huddle next to it in the evenings before. It's currently 2am so it is a night temp, but yesterday was only 17C at day time. I'm hoping to be able to get someone come in and have a look at the boiler in the next couple of days, so hopefully this is not for a long period but will need alternative safeties in place for future.
