Love seeing what you guys do and are creating. On Gabby's suggestion of tricks for the pigs, that made me think of prepping food puzzles for them to solve.

@GatorChris_ true! Rex from snake discovery comes to mind. She's got a jolly ball i think it is. It's hard plastic with a handle. If you drilled holes in it and are happy it's safe, you can put the treats in. Just stay out her way if she happens to find and grab said handle and hurl that thing 🤣

Hi Chris and Gabby!… Chris you are right.. the Brown Finches are Spice Finches… I had some for many years… Love all the Sanctuary Vlogs, You and Gabby do amazing work, and take good care of all the animals!

Thank you!

That pattern on Angelis would make an amazing drawing! The new pool is GORGEOUS! Lily’s keeping at least half of her toasty while she eats, lol. Watching the big pigs and goats eating their bedding was very funny. I love tamanduas…how awful to just abandon one in the cold. Thank you and everyone else for trying to save him/her. I hope the poor thing survived and stays off the road. If you hear anything, please let us know…

Hi Chris, a thermal image monocular are a useful tool for searching in open ground and wooded areas , I have friends that use them when we go out to do wildlife photography. The thermal monocular shows creatures body heat well.

[@GatorChris_]

That would be great to have!

[@MQuadrucci]

... also: I will never not love how clearly you emphasize What, When, Why, How, et cetera, animals you have adopted for the sake of humaneness - as opposed to profit, whimsy, seeking attention, collecting... It's honorable how much you honor critters... the slow food approach shows (some of) the work you two put into Bellowing Acres

[@DeliberatelyBearded]

Great vlog today guys really enjoyed it Thank you much and Thank you for looking for the Tamandua guys appreciate you very much hope you're enjoying your weekend have a nice night Thanks again

Amy is SO brave!! Can’t believe she keeps sneaking over- she knows where the good snacks are 😉 I’m convinced she’s learned to sit by watching the big pigs 🐖 The goats & pigs with the hay/straw is like a comedy routine - Kit Kat is such a character 🐐

[@GatorChris_]

Amy is definitely a character! 😂

[@jesscleveland407]

Happy Saturday! I know they are dangerous but the Crocs look so cute when they are just chilling! Can't wait to finish today's vlog!

[@hiho8084]

Stallone will love that new pond. Amy...."Can I join in?" Petunia..."Not a chance!" Hazel seems SO much calmer these days. I don't hear all the yapping we used to hear. All that training paid off! Chris, I think I'm more scared for you with Little Dude at meal time, than with the Alligators when you are sitting with your back to them having a chat with us!! 😂 LOL Kit Kat.... "It's a blanket! It's a snack! The all in one blanket heat you can eat!" Oh man....I'm sorry about that poor tamandua...😥 You guys are wonderful to try. Hoping against hope that it survives and is rescued.

[@GatorChris_]

Kit Kat always makes me laugh. 😂

[@keldaMouse]

I would be so up for getting a posse together to go find that poor lost animal the tamandua (anteater type) at the end too. So glad you care so much. they all deserve a chance.

[@sreace723]

Amy's learning from the her older cousins!! Watching you put out that straw made me itchy 😂😂😂 I love either finishing or starting my day at Bellowing Acres! Thank you for trying to find that Tamandua. I hate that people call themselves an animal lover but don't keep them responsibly.

so funny seeing Amy sneaking under the fence to be in the pig pigs group, she's gonna keep trying to get in their cliche. 😂

[@JustMe-ho7qm]

I love Lilly. I do the same during the winter! 😂 But the training with the little pigs was my favorite part this video. I think you are right Chris, Amy learned by watching. It will be interesting to see if she teaches Wilbur, Molly and Puddles.

[@GatorChris_]

It's amazing how much they learn from each other!

Lil Dude really is hilarious with his food. You'd think after being fed by humans for so long, he'd recognize that they (humans) daily are the ones giving him the food & obviously don't intend to take it for themselves but I guess the natural defensive wild instincts don't go away... Lol

Hey Chris, I was hoping if you could discuss gator and crocodiles aging - as they get older do their bodies deteriorate? Also do they keep on growing as they get older and what would stop them from continue to grow, naturally. Thanks - Travis :)

@@GatorChris_ Thanks Chris. Basically what I would like to know is whats to stop certain kinds of crocodile specifies from reaching lengths beyond 20 foot

[@buckmana]

Clover and Okala: Do we go swimming in the pool? If possible, I wonder if the emus could try out the pool before Stallone takes up residence, just to see what they would do in deeper water, since they're so fond of the pond. Does Amy know her name yet? She didn't seem to respond when called. I think she did learn something from observing the adult pigs, when she came back, she was half sitting without being prompted. Looks to me like she's learning from food motivation, she scavenged a bit of food while the adults were being fed. I am curious if feeding the coatis near their hides will reinforce that behavior and they won't want to go to the lockouts if they think the food bowls will come to them if they just stay there.

[@GatorChris_]

I don’t think the emus would be able to get back out with the straight walls. Amy doesn’t know her name, we haven’t tried teaching their names yet. And I was thinking that might happen for the coatis, but they’re generally very exploratory so I don’t think it will

[@DonBerg]

Maybe the cooler weather makes lil dude more defensive about his food… if it would naturally be scarcer during the cold 🤷‍♀️
