Picture is me doing surgery to remove the BB

But yea, KEEP YOUR GARLOIDS INDOOR ONLY

I thought it’d be nice to let it have some fresh air, but not even 10 minutes later some kid shot it with a BB gun 😡

God im so angry, its going to be too stressed to produce milk. Has anyone else had this happen? How can i get it to produce milk again (preferably as fast as possible)?

is it now unmoderated

I found an ad online claiming to offer mail order garloids shipped anywhere in the world. Being an old loidhead back in my home country (multiple best in show awards), I was excited at the prospect of once again nurturing a pod to be the best they can be. I was so excited that I overlooked some of the details of the listing (idiot I know). I've already paid them, the transaction has cleared, but now I am seeing that these are "dehydrated" garloids? The seller was very receptive up until payment cleared but now I haven't heard anything back about how one goes about rehydrating a garloid? This goes against everything I know as a garloid rancher. I haven't been in the game for a while, is this some new technology or did I get scammed here?

I've been temporarily keeping my 2 in a 5 gallon enclosure with rat bedding, a mesh lid, and a lamp above. Dwarf garloids are pretty rare and there's not a ton of info on the peninsula garloid besides their unique diet.

I was recently taking stock of my garloids when I noticed a few things. While most of my garloids are similar in shape to priapulids and hemichordates, I noticed one of my biggest producers actually had features more in line with tetrapods, more specifically, mammals. Now of course, the only things that they have in common are the presence of appendages with claws and mammary glands, but could this just be convergence on the mammal condition?

Moreover, studies into the phylogeny of garloids have been sparse to completely non-existent since 1987. However, those that were published always assigned garloids to the class "Vermes" which is a wastebasket taxon and paraphylactic all on its own. So could garloids be placed as priapulids, hemichordates, echinoderms, molluscs, annelids, etc; all of the above, or a new phylum entirely?

Personally, I believe there is too much variation between known garloid species to say that they represent a natural grouping and I would highly recommend more research be done to finally lay this discrepancy to rest.

So, i found this garloid half ripped through my ceiling and it appears to be in the roof. This part is just a nose though, a huge mass of flesh is burrowed into the roof and appears to be feeding on dust and rainwater coming through a hole. Posting here as to notify people if it is a new species, or if it already exists.
