Injured snail rescued – Necessity is the mother of invention

A few days ago we heard the tragic story of the injured neritina. And how Tina Benneker came up with a creative solution to care for the wounded animal. We had never dreamt of what else JBL Haru could be used for, beyond its normal intended purpose! Read for yourself the unbelievable story Tina Benneker posted on our JBL Facebook page:

“I have a story to tell you about the tragic accident with a happy ending. On May 29 I bought some absolutely stunning large neritinas from Frank Schenk at Fisch und Heim . When putting them into the aquarium, it happened. One of the neritinas slipped between my fingers and fell on the tiles. I was shocked to see that a large part of its shell had broken off. Without its shell the snail had no means of survival and would have died. But I remembered that with Achatinidae you use eggshell to paste over the snail’s shell. This keeps the animals alive until they have time to build a new layer of shell from the inside. Without hesitation I found the JBL Haru underwater adhesive and stuck the broken part back on again. I was careful not to get any of the adhesive inside the shell and to patch the piece from the outside only. Today, almost 7 months later, the animal is still happily crawling around the tank. I think you could call it a successful recovery. So you see, Matthias Wiesensee, Haru adhesive isn’t just great – it’s a real lifesaver!

Yours Tina

If you also have a story to tell, just send me it by email to socialmedia@jbl.de . We are looking forward to reading them.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
