FAQ
How often should a tortoise be bathed?

There are different opinions on this. Experienced keepers have established regular bathing at intervals of 2-3 weeks as a good average. The bath is done in 25 °C warm water for at least 10, better 30 minutes. Afterwards dry the animals well. To protect the turtle shell, it is then rubbed thinly with cotton wool soaked in JBL Turtle Shine. This prevents the shell from becoming brittle and gives the shell surface a well-groomed appearance. Please avoid bathing in the last few weeks before hibernation to ensure the turtles don’t completely empty their intestines.

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.
