Hello Everyone,

does anyone now how to get rid of the alert that an animal does not feel well while using the Waterfall and Metal Frame Toy Enrichment? I have this problem with my Greater Flamingos. They seems to feel not well because of the water temperature of this enrichment, but I could not find a why to change the temperature.

Thank you for your help.

Only way I can think of is to put a heater by it that raises the temperature by as much as the waterfall lowers it, because I don't think there's a setting on the waterfall to set the temperature of the water but I'm not sure.

I'm fairly sure it's a bug. I logged the issue in the issue tracker just before the latest update, so maybe they'll look into it for the next one.

To make the item useable they either need to give it an adjustable temperature or make it so it doesn't affect temperature at all. It's no good raising the animal's enrichment needs if it lowers in welfare anyway.

Thank you for the information. Here is a link to the ticket. So everyone is invited to add his contribution. Maybe this will help to pay attention on this ;)

Sure it is not a game breaking think but it is sometimes a little bit annoying getting alerts on this especially if you have more then 100 Greater Flamingos in an habitat and you can do nothing against it ;) (luckily they seem not to use it that often)

Ok sure you can disable this kind of alerts but I would like to keep them coming up for other kinds of problems. And sure there are some other enrichment items, but this is more or less the only one which you can give kind a look of natural.
