I think I've just found my feeding issue, and now I'm panicking!! It would appear that the temps on the top shelf of the rack have been a little low, I've just moved Piper (het pied male) who hasn't eaten for 4 weeks now and has been constantly prowling his rub onto the shelf below where there was a gap, and he settled down almost immediately, but I watched him yawn twice in a matter of minutes, which can't be good and I know the possible implications, so I will be watching him VERY closely for the next couple of days. Katara (het Ghost) who was on the other end of the same shelf is prowling like mad, and trying to get through the air holes in her rub. It appears that the B*****D window in that room has been pushing a draught around both sides of the room and hitting the two rubs (Piper & Katara) on either end of the shelf, where the ones on the ower shelf have been below the height everything seems fine ish. I now have insulated everything to within an inch of it's life with blankets, insulation board up at the window etc, and now have and oil filled radiator set up at the other end of the room as well, so all I can do now is HOPE Rolling Eyes

Sorry to drone, the house is a PAIN IN THE A*SHOLE!! Evil or Very Mad

Me to Paul, I think now I've fixed the issue things should settle down a bit. I've just bought a humidifier and an air purifier for the room as well, so they have have extra ambient humidity, and nice clean air, just to be on the safe side Very Happy

They certainly al look a lot happier and settled tonight, I'm just praying that it hadn't gone so far that any of them end up with RI Rolling Eyes

I feel really guilty now Crying or Very sad
