Ignore the naysayers. You are doing a fantastic job. You and Gabby are wonderful and your animals are lucky to have you.
Thank you!
Ignore the haters Chris. It's coming from those keyboard trolls who've probably never done a thing like this in their lives. Thank you for what you do!
🙌
Disregard the haters. Looks great and excited to see the progress😊
Great update Chris and Gabby, forget the naysayers, they will be negative whatever you do, you clearly are thinking of the welfare of the animals before cost, so just ignore the small minded individuals.
13:29 🤗🤗🤗💛💛💛💛💛💛 The lil skunk sniffs were wayyyy too cute 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥺🥺🥺❤❤❤❤
All the hate are from people that are jealous bro, you guys are killing it over there. That pond is bigger than most I've seen in TH-cam
Just ignore the haters Chris. (They are probably idiots). Many- many more of US who support everything you are doing, 1000%. God Bless. 👍❤️✨
🙏
To the haters...Your welcome to donate as much money $$$ as you like so bigger and better can be built. ❤
Great job team.
Exactly!
You do an amazing job!!!
Don’t let unintelligent, ignorant, miserable people get you down the animals that are in your care appreciate what you do they will show you in their own ways
The way that fox could hear so easily what direction the dog went, and would run out the opposite end was crazy.
I’m so excited to follow the progress of the sanctuary! You guys are gifts to us and all the babies! ❤
I absolutely love the work that you guys are doing. You'll always have armchair critics who think they know everything. Ignore them. You're the expert. You know what's right. Keep up the amazing work and let the critics puff themselves out.
I enjoy seeing some of the maintenance it takes to keep all your rescues. I love the closeups of the animals eating and all the crunching and sniffing sounds! So cute!
Thank you for the update! The armchair experts out there that just need to be ignored. Y'all are doing amazing work!!
Much appreciated
Keep up the good work! Love watching what you guys are doing!
Thank you! Will do!
You make everything look so easy. Amazing job caring for the critters!
Thank you!
I am so happy for you Chris to make the sanctuary for the animals and there seem like they're happy God bless you man God bless 🙏💕❤
Agree ignore the naysayers. .I think it's awesome what you and your crew do . Great learning channel
You guys are doing an excellent job & the animals all look so healthy and happy and they're always excited to see you when you feed them or anything
Thank you!
Haters are going to hate. You are doing something most of them will never do, following through with your dreams. Awesome job
Gator ponds looking good! Chandler, Stone, Aquascapes, Kenan should all have great advice. You and Gabby are da bomb! 😂❤
I love to see updates on the sanctuary 😊 ❤You and Gabby and everything you do for these beautiful creatures
Clover the best helper ever ❤
Blessings to you and your family and animals! your rescue facility looks so amazing as always. The new projects are huge and so exciting!
Thank you so much!
Chris, ignore the ignorant people that obviously know nothing about you and your love for animals. I’d like to see them attempt to accomplish what you’ve done over the years. You and Gabby are doing wonderful work taking care of the precious animals that need a safe, loving home. Next time you see Casper, give him a cuddle for me. Love and respect from Tennessee.
Block the noise! I know easier said than done! You 2 have made so much progress, and I can’t wait to continue following your journey!! You are living my dream!!
Haters gon hate! Y’all’s place looks amazing! Watch y’all’s videos daily and it’s obvious y’all are making the animals as happy as they can be!
Brilliant job Chris, it's all coming along nicely. Anyone who posts negative comments isn't worth the time of day. As always I enjoy your educational videos..🐊
You and Gabby do a good job. Most people on the internet know nothing but judge easy because they have nothing to do than behind the screen and judge other people. Greetings and respect from the Netherlands 👍
Just going off the other enclosures you have already built, you are building far bigger than required and with the best materials available. These cages are amazing and I am amazed with what you are feeding! I also like to give my exotics a wide range of foods and a good variation every day. It is super expensive though and I can’t even begin to imagine what your feed bills are like b/c I am only feeding 23 animals and it is a huge portion of our bills. It would be so much cheaper to just feed them commercial foods but no where near as good for them. I can tell what a good operation you run by the type of food I see being fed to your animals.
Some people just can't be nice, and that's on them. You're doing outstanding work, and I love the filtering idea. You might look into the swamp style, which they use to treat waste water in places. With the right plants, you can filter all kinds of things out.
Doing a great job, Chris! All the best on this project.
It saddens me that you have explain your good intentions. You don’t owe anyone explanations. The sanctuary looks amazing 🤩
I love the enclosures it’s going to provide such a great safe place for so many animals that would not have such a chance.
Chris have you talked to Greg and Ed at Aquascape about their filtration. They use a wetland filter for their ponds which might be just what you need for the Gator ponds Love how the sanctuary is coming along ❤
I’ve been in contact with them, hoping to set something up!
Gabapentin should help Lily with anxiety too.
This is the second video of yours I’ve watched and I’m subbed! I love the size of your enclosures and the way you try to make them look as natural as possible. Excited to see more :)
Good evening Chris and gabby you guys spoil the animals so much I can see why the are so happy and living their best lives. I'm sorry that lily has some issues with arthritis that is heartbreaking. But now she has you guys to give her the greatest life ever. Love the video today, everything looks awesome. Have an amazing weekend you 2
Going for a normal aquarium model is in my opinion the best way to go even if it is more expensive. Get some sponges because sand is mainly used for taking sweat and other skin oils out of the water while being harder to clean and not filtering poop as good as aquarium sponges, i'll like to make sure you are keeping in mind that a pond with sand, rocks, wood, etc will do a fairly good job cultivating beneficial bacteria that aquariuns can't simple by being smaller, so you don't need to get an crazy amont of biologicol media. I think that your alligators ponds will work properly with a good pump, a big amont of sponges and maybe some biologicol media(buy good quality ones so you don't have to store a crazy amont of spaces in bioballs for example) with maintenance such as water changes every once in a while. My english is not that good but i hope i could help you Chris.
Don't let internet idiots know they make you mad. They will only do it more. You guys are doing a amazing job.
Love what you are doing for all the animals. Your hearts are so big that it shows with all that you are putting into the designs of the enclosure and the gator ponds and giving the different animals wonderful homes!! Fantastic job Chris and Gabby!❤
Never mind the ones that don’t know what there talking about your the expert you an gabby are truly wonderful animal lovers an I am just obsessed with your love for for the wild life this is going to turn out magnificent thank you an gabby for sharing your awesome Sanctuary 👍🏻
I’m really impressed by the gator “puddle”. 🤣🤣. Those making comments don’t own or I’ve never been around a gator so don’t take it too personally you’re doing a great job.
Awesome, always enjoy your videos and especially watching y'all get your new place set up!
Just ignore the idiots. There’s always one in the crowd, so if you’re one of those idiots, keep it to yourself! I doubt you could do better. You guys are doing a fantastic job, so keep up the good work!
Great work the pond is going to look amazing. Keep up the great work bud 🙋♂️✌️
I absolutely love the size and natural look of the new enclosures. Your both doing an awesome job and it really shows just how much you love and care about the animals which is the most important thing!! ❤❤❤
Everything is gorgeous. I really love the Fennec fox!! He is learning to trust you. Keep up the good work.
Your enclosures are so lovely…lucky critters to live with the two of you. You two are forces of nature. I know how hard it is to deal with bullies which is exactly what these trolls are…deeply insecure people who go after anyone who lives a worthy, caring life to make themselves feel important. It is considered a serious mental health issue, which I’ve studied for years. I’ve found it best to ignore them unless they threaten me or someone else physically or go after someone who can’t defend themselves. They see your wonderful life, hard work, your happy family loving family and the contrast to their own lives at least causes them pain and at worst enrages them. Most are products of child abuse. If you can, feel compassion for them and more importantly don’t engage. As a starter that pond is gorgeous. Can’t wait for the gators…grew up in gator country and love ‘em. Donation time.
I love the skunk, she’s adorable!
Love that u guys r taking in foxes from saveafox ....I'm sure coming from the fur farm they will b in heaven with u! As for the alligator pond that thing is huge! I watch a lot of other TH-camrs with alligators and I don't think I have seen any that big so forget what idiots say. U know better about the animals u work with n take care of. I would ask kamp kenan about the filtration system he might b able to help.
If you are getting hate then you are doing something right! Ask the haters to show us their gator ponds.
You two are doing a fantastic job!! I share so people will hopefully donate. I hope you are able to get local food donations as well❤
This is awesome! And your ‘small pond’ is massive by any standard for a wild animal enclosure. You’re never going to replicate being in the wild, but you guys are doing such an amazing job creating these enriching and supportive habitats for the lucky animals in your care!
it looks wonderful, Chris! Thanks for the update.
Love the updates. I think people are just so used to seeing you with Casper in that huge enclosure he's in so they thought they're all supposed to be that big. You've done a fantastic job with all of the other enclosures for the other animals so i cant wait to see everything completed. Great job and just keep doing your thing and living your dreams.
I just found your feed and new to the group. Can't wait to see the new stuff!
The arms on this dude
All looking amazing, some people just hide behind a keyboard to let out all the nastiness inside them!
I can’t wait for the first alligator video we get from your new place ❤
The whole gator pond idea makes sense to me to workout any issues before doing it on a larger scale. You don't want waste money on something that may not work out. I enjoy all your content on this channel and your other one.
Omg I can’t stand the people on the internet sometimes like real talk you guys are doing something amazing and giving these animals a much better life than what they had before, nothing but respect
Loved the video! Im super excited about the gator ponds!😍🙏
Love the channel/what yall do! If you do use alot mulch often you may want look into getting bulk delivered it will cost way less then having buy many bags (learned that over time) even if u have access to a dump trailer for picking it up saves a ton of money in the end..even if u dont use it all right away, you can put a tarp down store it ontop cover if u wish..saves hundreds of dollars and get so much more yardage..just a thought since every penny counts and you can always use more.. great job guys! Very happy for you, thanks for taking us along for the ride! 🤙
I also enjoy all the knowledge I learn about each animals biology you often explain while we get to see them...been watching for long time! Thanks guys!
Loved the update! The animals all seem so happy to be there, you guys are doing an awesome job!!
It is starting to come together. I've been following on Florida's Wildest but just discovered your second channel. It all looks great!
Look great. Thanks for what you do. 🎉
Looks great
Thanks!
"Cenote water is often very clear, as the water comes from rain water filtering slowly through the ground, and therefore contains very little suspended particulate matter. The groundwater flow rate within a cenote may be very slow." Now about filters, I know mostly from agriculture. if you need some heavy duty water filters here we work with Amiad and they have some amazing filters(Arkal model) but mostly cause we use treated sewage water which contains algae and calcium that can clog the pipes real fast, and these filters have a built in cleaning system operated by crank to wash out all the buildup so its not exactly closed circuit. We also need to do a chlorine and hydrogen peroxide wash every half a year or so to keep the dripping pipes in top shape and break down all the calcium and algae. but again , mostly cause we use UV treated sewage water.
Do not explain to the haters who shouldn't even be on your platforms. Getting upset is the reaction they want.
You may update progress to your caring followers who support you.
Keep up the good work!
Good plan on the gator pond!
You guys are killing on the cages and ponds not to mention all the content you guys are amazing people don’t let the hater’s get to you
I love watching Clover run around the ponds and property! I’ve been calling her Chloe by mistake 🤦🏼♂️ she reminds me of my old girl lexi 💛
So excited to see your continued progress!!!
Ignore the trolls. You two are doing an amazing job. The ponds are plenty big.
You guys are amazing and what you do for the animals is even more amazing! Screw the negative Nellie’s!!
Loved this video. Getting to see all the animals and there enclosures and all there personalities. Absolutely loved it
Great video, Chris, thank you! If he is not one of the people you're already talking to, it'd be worth asking Greg Wittstock, The Pond Guy about filtration. Judging from his YT videos, there's nothing he does not know about artificial bodies of water!
Your both so dedicated. Take no notice. It's amazing.
U def spoil them haha that’s so sweet of u two =)
I love the gator pool!!! You guys are so cool! Ignore the numb nuts.
Great setup and video thank you ❤
Chris...jealous people you cannot cure, sad they even exist. MANY of us love what you are doing and are VERY happy for you. It looks like heaven to me. Great job !!! In the ponds can't they have salt water instead ? I mean like I have a salt water pool with a sand filter and the salt makes its own chlorine, draws the sun to keep it warmer, does not burn your eyes, fade your clothes, etc...just curious.
Hey Chris,
For the gator ponds, have you talked to AquaScape and Ed the Pond Professor. Ed's pond's are all self filtering and in a naturalistic way. I would suggest to contact them.
If you don't know who they are then contact Kenan at Kamp Kenan, also there in Florida. He could easily get you in touch with Ed and AquaScape, they both work with each other.
Their pond are amazing. And as far as clean...usually, depending on the time of year as well as if its raining or not, you can usually see through to the bottom.
Seriously they are the ones I would suggest you contact.
For what your going to spend, why not get naturalistic ponds that have their own wetland filters.
I hope that helps!

Great first pond and maybe the pond professor Ed and the pond guy Greg can help you guys with some water systems for your critters 😊
What u guys are doing is amazing 🎉
It looks really great at your place. My uncle is having a biofilter pond next to his pond for his fishes. it looks good, cause you don't see it through all the plants in it used for filtering. I saw other biofilter ponds, which uses some "special" fishes, too, in them to reduce the insect/mosquito numbers and est some of the bigger bio-products. But this is all from Germany and Netherlands and they were something like 1/4 up to 1/3 of the size of the "clean" pond, which seams to be needed to have enough buffer for extreme weather like heavy rain or drought. Hope this helps and good luck/success.
You are doing a great job
Luv the updates! Awesome
Never thought a jungle raccoon would learn to season their food
Loved the footage of the interactions and so excited for the gator enclosure! Dont let those comments under your skin, they have zero perspective lol.
Hey you do you I think things are looking great
Fantastic video as ever! How exciting that you’re even getting going on the 2nd gator pond - I can’t believe how quickly everything is going all of a sudden!
As others are saying in the comments, try to ignore the idiots trying to make you feel like you’re not accomplishing something incredible. Those people are clearly jealous of the life you’re living and what you’re building, knowing they don’t contribute to the world like that and hate their 9-5! Seriously.
Question - when you said you’d like to have fish in the pond, would the gators not just eat them? Is that the idea or..?
You should def get in touch with Ed the Pond Professor and Greg Woodstock and get their advice on things. I believe Greg will be in Florida here in the next couple weeks
Ignore the Trolls and haters, dont feed them, those kind of people have nothing better to do. You guys are doing a great job, I'm a new subscriber and making my way through your videos. Much lurve to you both from the Uk x
They will always be haters out there. Just ignore them, they’re just jealous and they’re probably one of those people who are never happy with anything. Always pushing negative vibes. Keep grinding and do your thing.
Ignore the idiots comments. You keep doing what your doing. Amazing work!!!!
You need Aquascape to come out and turn that into a beautiful filtration system Like they did over at Kamp Keenan’s. They did two. One is his big pond that he swims in and the other is for his Caiman creek.
Chicken rubbing the food in the sand is probably for digestion, seen Birds of prey scoop up small pebbles for that and just swalloing them. Maybe sand is not the best unless they are desert chickens. Sorry people are saying negative stuff about the gator pond, they are probably used to seeing Casper's enclosure so they think it gotta look like that.
A UV filter system will do quite well.
Lilly is my favourite. I know she’s got a story to tell. Wish she could tell us ❤❤
Unfortunately if you’re on social you’re going to get people bitching. (That’s why I don’t) lol. You guys are doing an amazing job. I don’t understand why people watch something if they don’t like it. Just go watch something else instead.
❤
Have you spoken with ed (pond professor) and Greg (aquascape)
Maybe aquascape would have some ideas on water filtration?
