    Bella is such a naughty girl. I have been watching this and Chris's channel since around spring 2023, but do not usually post. I just wanted to let you all know that I enjoy y'all's content, and I apprechiate your hard work.

    Bella is so funny, gabby telling her lay down and it took a second and then she did but the way she laid down was like a child getting mad because they didnt get what they wanted is hilarious. 😂😂😂

    Fantastic and informative video that answered a lot of questions I had. Gabby and Chris are wonderful people dedicating their entire lives to rescuing and enrichment for all these wonderful animals. It shows. Thank you for all you do. It is appreciated so much.
    I also love the discussion of plans and ideas during the video like we're there with you (without the mosquitoes!!) Excellent!

    The land yall have is beautiful; I love the Florida terrain despite all the mosquitoes. The alligator enclosure is very expansive, which is great. It’s so depressing to witness any animal resort to pacing back-and-forth when their space is too confined (I notice this happens most with the big cats like lions/tigers). The gators look very content with their space, especially with having such a large body of water. Clever to do no-corners as well. Keep up the good work!

  • @TheNyah5
    @TheNyah5 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    Gabby:"Let's go show some of our big gator enclosures!" Chris:" Yeah."-"So this is our small bird aviary..." 🤣🤣🤣. All jokes aside, you're doing an amazing job!!

    The sanctuary is looking great! Haha Bella seems to be comfortable with pushing the boundaries a little bit now, but still seems to know when to.. lay down. It's interesting to hear about the gators and how you acquire them as a sanctuary in Florida. The ones you do end up getting are lucky... the enclosures look really nice and spacious! Hopefully Gaston ends up being OK!

    You two definitely go above and beyond in the way you care for your residents; I can literally hear the love and concern in your voices as you talk about them. Every enclosure is thoughtfully designed to meet the specific needs of each animal and they're beautiful! You guys are doing an amazing job, and are so, so appreciated - not only by your rescues, but by us as well 💚

  • @hiho8084
    @hiho8084 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    The hospital enclosure looks great. Poor Gaston....I'm sorry that his issue is not easy to solve. Hoping for the best. The aviaries look good. It's sad you can't rescue alligators when they are just sick. I can't believe they won't let you help any alligator that is sick or injured. Horrible.

    Bella was thinking “Mom and Dad, you know when you come to see me I want treatos”. She is so funny and a beautiful alligator. I think it’s terrible you aren’t allowed to help sick or injured alligators unless they are deemed nuisance. What kind of asinine law is that? 😢 Thank you Chris and Gabby for dedicating your lives to help these animals. Hugs from Tennessee.

  • @SlackerU
    @SlackerU 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    A amateur guess on the little gator... I think that gator might have a gut-leak like it ate a bone that made a hole in its digestive tract that has a slow infection leaking into the abdominal cavity. Your body gasses out & why we must leave deep wounds open for the pressure that can build up.

It seems like these hospital enclosures seem nil impossible to disinfect entirely (except the tub of course) do you have plans to make another vet-bay/quarantine sort of structure with concrete? Very glad you guys are giving these animals a stable home. My heart goes out to Gaston

  • @SlackerU
    @SlackerU 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    If you have sanitary issues like blood-infections in the animals then I think we need a "Comprehensive Drainage Plan" for those pens as they are 'sewage disposal areas'. Basically I'm suggesting you ensure you use all the land elevation to max out the oxygen in the soil to treat for parasites & pathogens. IMO you should have 30% of the land dedicated to drainage for your higher amounts of animal-waste-soil.
    My soil PH is 4.9 so all of that galvanized wire underground didn't even last two years.

  • @jonloomis5210
    @jonloomis5210 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For the birds, is there some risk in cohabitation between the different larger species you have? I can imagine that the toucan and hornbills might not be a good idea to share space with other birds, but is there a risk between different kinds of parrots and/or cockatoos? Also, for Gaston, would the kind of damage the person from Australia mentioned be something that a sonogram might be able to detect if the vet was given details or photos on what kind of damage was observed during the necropsy there?
