I'd try seeding crayfish, because they're claimed to be an invasive species very good at adapting their phenotypes to their environments and can survive almost anywhere humans expose them to


They eat anything, just like shrimp, which leads me to think starting off seeding planets with algae and arthropods/crustaceans might be the best combo

OP said the planet is "devoid of life", everything you suggested heavily depends on other life already being there, stop being so stupid. Primary and secondary succession are ecology 101.


You start with lithotroph or chhemoautotroph bacteria and archaea like cyanobacteria, for example Chroococcidiopsis that build up an organic base for primary colonizers like moss, fungi and lichen and of course a multitude of other microorganisms. This takes thousands of years. Then you can introduce other successors and let the ecosystem go from there.

Mate that's a golden pheasant

I use a brand called espree (I think). You can dilute it with water 16:1 and they have different shampoos for different needs (sensitive skin, sprayed by a skunk, etc). Lasts forever when you dilute it.

Despite having a double coat my guy is pretty low maintenance when it comes to grooming. Brush him once a week with a pin brush, sometimes use a furminator but not often. The most success I ever had though was with a rake brush while he was wet. Took out clumps of dead fur enough to build myself another dog.

i bathe my dog once or twice a week in the shower with me

i use the same soap i use either unscented oatmeal or goat milk

>>2258764
i also soak his feet every one or two weeks in epsom salts to soothe them and soften his nails for trimming

>blames it on the dog
Holy this just reminded me of something

>this summer
>worked in a call centre for 24PetWatch (microchip company)
>receive call from a vet clinic in Georgia who had police officer drop off a severely injured Great Dane puppy (7 mos on our records)
>he's been hit by a car
>the puppy had only been registered for 3 weeks and it was done by a shelter
>meaning this owner probably owned the dog for less than a month
>pull up owner's info and give him a call
>he says, "yeah I know the dog got out. he doesn't know any better and won't stay in the yard. I don't give a fuck what happens to him"
>hangs up on me
>explain the conversation to the vet who called
>we agree the owner is horrible
>too afraid to ask what will happen to the puppy
>look up owners house on street view
>no fence
I couldn't believe this idiot put a brand new dog in an open space and acted like it was the dog's fault for leaving the property. Me and the vet both left voicemails for the shelter who had adopted the dog out to this guy so I hope they were able to step in quick enough and save him :(

Jesus, all the fucking time here. See a dog on the road, take the time to go door to door to find owners. All the people are like "such a sweet dog, not mine sorry. How nice of you to try and find owner." 20 houses later get to a house with open garage/gate. Guy working on car with a beer in hand and dog runs up to him. "Oh yea that's my dog. Shoulda just left it to get run over, it's always getting out and stuff, it's such an escape artist." Guy goes back to doing his shit and just leaving dog there with garage/gate wide open.

>>2258486
I don't understand why people like this get dogs in the first place

Hi, I bought a nebuliser for my rat who had respiratory problems, it saved her life on a few occasions. I used it with water to clear her Airways then nebulised the antibiotics and steroids that she was on. It only cost about £90 maybe $150? Total lifesaver.
Ps, it was a human one, I just rigged up a little tank to put her in and the pipe pumped into the tank. A specialist in rats helped me. Good luck, hope your baby is ok.

Dang that's pretty cool

>>2265107
Yip, I ended up using it with a few of my rats over a couple of years, love yours BTW

>>2265089
How long of a stay is it?

>>2265090
4 days.

I'd say its a 9.5, wow, it won't work, you'd have to keep it confined the whole time and it'd panic, could even go into shock. Very dangerous. I tried to get my cat to come into my new house (just round the corner from my old house), she panicked so much she ran into the closed patio doors and injured herself. Cats hate change, especially if it's forced upon them. You'd be better leaving kitty at home and getting someone to call round and feed/pet her.

how the hell would a mark test even work for a manta ray?

>>2264958
I dont think it would work at all. They visit cleaning sites to temove parasites and often have those fishes with the sucker head attached to them so they probably wouldn't care about marks.

yes, women
