I ran a quick search on this and didn't turn up with many results. As I have previously posted about, my apartment lease has ended and Octopus Prime is still going strong, if less active as he gets older.
Luckily Denise has volunteered to inherit and care for him since i need to break down my tank this week and move out. We have been talking about making the delivery to her this Saturday (June 7) but now i need information on how to properly package and ship Mr. Prime so that he has his best chance at arriving safely.
I still have the insulated styrofoam container that he came in from MDL, and i have plenty of cardboard boxes as i am preparing to move, but it seems like i will need to find a way to place him in a bag and top it off with pure oxygen before sealing it. Can anyone help me with organizing that? where can i get a portable source of O2? should i ask my LFS for other livestock packaging supplies? I don't know where to begin. It's getting kind of urgent, so any help today and tomorrow will be much appreciated.
