Ok, new pictures from this evening (Day 3) and I sorted out the camera focus

It looks like we've got a little heat and humidity problem.

I've placed an order today for a Mini air-con & humidifier and a minature mist/fog maker (I should receive both in a couple of days).

The Thermo Hygrometer should be here tomorrow so I should be able to see exactly what we're dealing with here.

The pictures were taken just 20 minutes ago (we spray some water around them every now and then until we'll solve this problem).

Thanks

Yup, that's right. Growing in soil.

BOTTOM: 1" layer of clay pebbles (hydroton)
MIDDLE: 5" layer of compost soil
TOP: 1" layer of clay pebbles (hydroton)

And the top is indeed preventing the soil from drying fast.

I should be receiving some new toys today/tomorrow to sort out the humidity.
More pictures to come this evening

Just as I thought; we've got a serious temperature and humidity problem going on here. I received the meter today and it shows:

temperature: 29-32 C
humidity: 29-32 %

The fog/mist maker and mini air-con did not arrive today, which means they should be here tomorrow (hopefully!). The sooner the better, because I think right now our little babies are suffocating.

Here are some pictures from today (Day 5):
