Feeding types

As elsewhere in the animal kingdom, there are four predominant feeding types among terrarium animals: meat-eating animals (carnivores), insect eating animals (insectivores), plant eaters (herbivores) and animals which eat both meat and plants (omnivores). There are all the variations in between too. It is important to understand that a feeding type, such as carnivore, does not mean that this animal only eats meat. It may well ingest vegetable food as a supplement. In addition, carnivores also eat any plant food present in the stomachs of their prey. The snake is an example of this.

Herbivorous animals often eat animals on the plants they are eating and thus also get some animal protein. They need to be on a vegetarian diet because they cannot digest carnal food. Tortoises are typical herbivorous terrarium animals.

Omnivores are able to consume and digest both herbal and animal components. Omnivore means that the animals can not only eat anything, but they HAVE TO eat everything! A one-sided carnal or one-sided herbal diet would lead to disease or even to the death of the animal.

It does not matter if you keep carnivorous, herbivorous or omnivorous animals: variety in the diet is the main thing! Please remember that your animals often have an incredible variety of food available to them in the wild. It’s therefore important to offer a herbivore a wide range of plant food, the same goes for carnal food for the carnivore. Feeding only dandelions or just dead mice is convenient, but definitely the wrong way!

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.
