Chris, i THINK it is safe to say poppy Loves you. It kills me to see him just fall over and go stiff when you pet him. I have never seen that kind of behavior in any animal. Well a fainting goat. But, petting Poppy or Harvey, Poppy definately does it best, I get the biggest thrill out of seeing Poppy in your videos. You are more of a climbing and petting obsession for Poppy, then even feeding time❤️
great that you repeat where the animals come from and what their features are. very helpful. good that you give yourself a little time to rest. be kind and gentle with yourselves, you both do so much.
I love the algea look! When their ponds are crystal clear, they look like swimming pools for people. With the algea, it looks more like their natural habitat.
Poppy may love corn He loves his snuggles a lot more so he’s saying fork it out. Papa bring me the snuggle.!! Thank you so much for sharing sending love and prayers to everyone at the sanctuary❤❤❤
i want to snuggle a prairie dog T o T poppy is sooo sweet and cute ahfjdksahfj i love the continued pattern of other animals discovering that humans can Pet Them and the effectionate ones come right up for a warm hug
Thanks for the new vlog always appreciate them hope your feeling better soon please take care of yourselves both of you you have a lot on your plates hope you can get some more help too can't wait to see an update on the new Croc pond the pics look awesome but kinda hard to visualize from them Thank you for always being so vigilant with the animals and checking on them maybe you could put up some cameras for your personal use in some of the enclosure to watch some of the more stubborn animals just a thought anyway have a great night guys

Should put some freash water snails and crabs they should beable to clear up alot of that algae, and keep up with the great work i enjoy watching all these nice lving animals birds and all the other stuff. Hope to see the cool Armadillo again 1 day and sorry for the croc monter lizard, I feel u when it pass i love all wild life and i say he or she pass away from old age but i dont know how old he or she was.
I feel like the male emu really likes you Chris. I feel like with the other two females there, he's just doing what he instinctually has to do as their "protector" 💪. Like when you give him pets, he's having an internal argument with himself like, "ooo i love this, crap, look good for the females, peck peck!.....ok they're not looking Chris, could you get that one spot?....crap, did they see that? Peck peck!" 😅
Tyler Nolan lost his 2 black asian monitors last Christmas. They locked themselves out of their heated hides. He’s in Loxache. (I’m not local). So I understand play it safe especially when our low last night here was 1 degree. I love poppy; asami; wilbur; daisy and the foxes none of which except poppy and Asami loves to cuddle….. am banned from bringing any more animals into the house. Lol. Birds I have seen Tango but not Candy.
Hey @GatorChris, I have a quick question for you. You stated that Bella and Big Mac weren't food-motivated enough to approach you for handouts due to the sustained cold weather. Do you think they would still instinctively go after you/anything that suddenly fell into the water near them? Or would they not risk expending the energy due to the low temperature? Thanks!
Thank you 🙏. I can't watch all the videos (by now 😉) and maybe I have lost the information: how is Gaston doing with the cold weather? (his floating problem)
Have you thought about. Maybe they feel safe in certain places in their enclosures, noises.. darkness.. make them not want to go in certain places.. so maybe if you move the heaters and stuff into the places they feel safe at.. maybe they use them?
You said you love Poppy❤😊 bow sweet. I've never heard you say that before about the Dogs. I know your opinions about gators NOT having the ability to "love". Do you think Poppy can love you? It sure looks like she does!❤
Are you guys looking to build a separate indoor housing space for all of the animals for bad weather or will you continue to use your personal home for that?
Can you tell us more about the well water being on. Is that wasteful? Or does it overflow and go back in the ground? To start over again. Not complaining just curious. Are you worried about running out of water? Do you have several wells? Thanks for all you do!
Are you having a necropsy done on your monitor? It's very strange. I don't have a monitor but I'm fascinated with them and I watch many channels with them and I've learned so much. Kevin at NERD was the first person I thought could help you figure it out. And then of course Tom. He's astounding! It's so very sad he's been forced to leave his home of almost 40 years. I hate the power money gives to bad people.
For the joy you bring us all...Thank-you!
Thank you!!
Feel Better Chris!
Big Mac was SO giving you the side eye. He does not look happy about the cold weather. He’s cute when he’s mad though ☺️
He definitely wasn’t impressed with the weather!

Prairie Dog Attack! LMAO Absolutely terrifying.
😂
Big Mac's eye changed when he vocalized! He doesn't sound happy. What a boy!❤
Hanging out and doing gator things, big Mac sounds like he's got some horse power lol.
Lil dude kinda looks like a capybara with spikes. He’s like “talk to the quills cause the face ain’t listening”. 😊
Poppy aha pmsl.. dang Poppy makes me laugh so hard.. I wanna a poppy scratcher
😂
Nice video vlog 💙🧡💛💚
Thank you!
glad everyone is staying warm (or trying to)
Love is stronger than corn, Chris! 😂 Hope you feel better soon. Thank you for the vlog.
I hope that you feel better Chris.
Everything is looking marvellous at the sanctuary, despite the colder weather.
This is a great idea keep the animals safe and warm
Poppie you love corn
Poppie-I love you more
Chris: "Poppy, here's some corn, you love corn."
Poppy: "Oh co... hang on. Your jacket looks kinda interesting." 😂
😂
Feel better soon Chris I know how you feel. Great video as always.
Thank you for sharing the vlog with us. Hope you feel better soon.

Poppy is a lovebug ❤❤❤❤❤

Poppy is such a goofy ball hahaha😆. I love how you grab him and he's just staring with a stunned face like c( O.O )ɔ
When I went to Japan in 2017, I saw a bunch of Maras being kept outside in the snow in the winter up in Nara. They looked perfectly comfortable
Hope you feel better!
Do the Jelly Bean Toucan Dance:
Put a tasty bit in your mouth and then dance, sing and hop around while being cute and tease everyone that you have a tasty bit.
I adore all your creatures. Blessings!
You should set up a trail cam in the mara enclosure to see if they ever use their igloo (I hope they are 🤞🏼)
Should put some freash water snails and crabs they should beable to clear up alot of that algae, and keep up with the great work i enjoy watching all these nice lving animals birds and all the other stuff. Hope to see the cool Armadillo again 1 day and sorry for the croc monter lizard, I feel u when it pass i love all wild life and i say he or she pass away from old age but i dont know how old he or she was.

How far into the ground does the prairie dog enclosure run? I figure they dig pretty deep, no? Any escape concerns lol
Are you guys looking to build a separate indoor housing space for all of the animals for bad weather or will you continue to use your personal home for that?
Big mac's eyes look different?
Can you tell us more about the well water being on. Is that wasteful? Or does it overflow and go back in the ground? To start over again. Not complaining just curious. Are you worried about running out of water? Do you have several wells? Thanks for all you do!

Was land in South Florida not available?
Would a necropsy tell you anything about the croc monitor? I don't know if they would be able to figure it out that way.
Prove it! Do the water tip thing like you explained with casper. How they react to ripples
Will alligators and crocodiles, still attack if they see you as a threat no matter how cold it is? Not to kill but more to scare the threat?
How about a Big Mac for Big Mac
Hi, wondering about how Dino and his new girlfriend are doing? Seems its been awhile since you've mentioned them??? Thank you!
