[@lizarrrdbeth]

Nothing like chilling with the homies. No-one else on KZbin is sitting poolside next to their gators just having a chat!!!! I love them!!!!

[@cynthialbell9023]

Hi Chris Thanks for the information on their digestion, and the cold temperature.Cindy

[@rushkitty83]

Daisy is such a cute little thing! i love how she sits so hard! This look of "Look, Dad, I am def sitting!!!"lol And the foxes. But it's awesome that we see Ocala so much

[@GatorChris_]

She’s so cute!

[@meloneyparker]

Daisy is THE cutest little pig!

[@Nkotb76]

I could never skip any animal. I love seeing all those sweet faces.

[@Ryanboy2020]

Chris, Jellybean has certainly warmed up to you since these vlogs started. I also cant get over how well the foxes are doing. They have really calmed down. It use to be a crazy noisey event around feeding time but now everyone is quiet for the most part. Keep up the great work you guys. I dont know if you prefer people to buy off your Amazon wish list or make a cash donation at your website? I've been making cash donations to maybe help with all the construction you have going on.

[@GatorChris_]

We are glad you are noticing the positive changes in the fox enclosure! Any donation method you are comfortable with works great!

[@VenezuelaSustentable]

Thanks for donating 😊

[@salvatorediangelo453]

Big Mac should literally be the main character in a children's storybook!

[@meloneyparker]

I am one of those people who LOVES the pig updates. They're all cute, but Daisy is the absolute bestest piggy I have ever seen.

[@terrimarie4651]

I adore the pigs

[@romansaide]

love the videos with extra info

[@GatorChris_]

Thanks!

[@crystalheart9]

I love seeing all the animals. Little Daisy with her turned up nose just perfect for pouring food into her mouth. Ocala living her best life now and all the other animals being who they are and well loved and cared for.🥰

[@leanneplattsl9264]

Love the channel,I'm a long time viewer the first video I saw was when you found the ball python covered in ticks,its amazing the care you gave the animal was great ...the quality rather than the quanity definitly shows the genuine care about the animals..its sad to see so many just get animals cos there cool or competing cos there friend got one etc....there already overwhelmed and constantly eventually having to rehome....you guys are sensible and your veiwers see the love you have and im positive you will continue to prosper for years to come x x god bless you both for the amazing things you do x

[@nancyhauber7070]

Thank you for another wonderful video. ❤ Oh, my gosh. Thank you for sharing the quills from Little Dude that you find and keep on the fence. I had no idea they were that firm and hefty. Wow.

[@julianewlin7700]

I LOVE the piggies! I love hearing all the lil animals smacking and chomping away on their food. Happy as clams at the Acres! ❤️

[@GatorChris_]

Me too! 😊

[@teresakinney955]

Love you love you love you and..............love you!

[@FrankieLanette]

Just was at Taylor Creek today. Counted 13 the size of Bella and Big Mac on the bank. More in the water. The ones we saw all looked healthy and quite fat. Beautiful animals.❤

[@96nissan]

Julie is my favorite pig! I love her chatting and mouth gaping just like Big Mac saying FEED ME MORE! 🖤

[@keldaMouse]

Oh Poppy you live such the charmed life sweet prairie doggie. Love you Big Mac and Bella. I can't wait to see fish in their pool. Would the big Gators try to catch fish? I've seen other well fed gators not bothering with fish.

[@margiewalker1808]

I love seeing all the animals.

[@michellemorningstar880]

Best part when you feed the pigs love the lip smacking so darn cute and they enjoy the food lol thanks Chris love your vlogs

[@choirmeyer]

Lovely video. :) Great extra info I'm listening to here. Have a great night, Chris & Gabby.

[@keldaMouse]

Love the piggies. ❣Honestly I learn so much I can't miss a second. Blessings Chris and Gabby!

[@Freptboy]

I love all the animals 😊❤

[@marlesmeep]

It still just boggles my mind the difference between Big Mac and bella from when you rescued them to just laying out beside you like that. Incredible! Also, Daisy is definitely one of my favorite animals. Lol, I just love how she sits so patiently.

[@Angelface11]

Angelus!!! My favorite! Most beautiful croc ever. Can't wait until he's in a pond!

[@SpiritDancer-1]

Poppy, Jellybean, The Sweet Owl, the doggies, the gators love them all! It really really takes heart that most don't have, to work with and save these exotics. Plus the knowledge you share.🐾💕🐾 Happy New Year🐾💕🐾!!

[@faylinn1]

The piggies are adorable. ❤

[@normalnorma4974]

Aww,😢 the pigs are great. Big pig Julie, to wee cute Daisy. Imagine skipping them. The noise they make makes me laugh every time. Baby pigs 🐖 too.

[@jesscleveland407]

The pigs are one of my favorite parts of the blog. I love the different personalities. I grew up on a farm and pigs and cows are my favorite animals to this day.

[@oitijjhakhandker4203]

Pierre dogs are perfect example of Disney cartoon character.. Fluffy cuddly cute..

[@MonicaDehnert]

Watching all the animals eat is endearing.

[@ScreamQueenSerene]

Showing gratitude by reading the notes attached to the gifts is so cool of you. I'm sure it's appreciated by the gifters as much as you appreciate the gifts. Comments hating on the pigs must get buried. I've never seen them. Long live the 🐷🐖!

[@JustMe-ho7qm]

Aww, Cheeky took a break from working for a well deserved monkey biscuit. She is so cute! ❤

[@mollydillon8302]

God bless all of the animals!

[@clistiarobinson34]

Great vlog as always

[@gingersnap9756]

I love the piggies ❤

[@DeliberatelyBearded]

Loved the vlog Thank you appreciate you guys for all you do and all your hard work thank you for always finding time to film edit and post these vlogs I love the updates on the animals and when you talk about them like today with the.cold and food just so fascinating Thanks again have a great night.

[@chs8792]

Great vlog! 🙏💖

[@caughtafaygo]

Very cool, thanks for the info!

[@evertisakjulius2249]

I really like the pigs but I understand if people don't❤️🐷. Ocala is super cute and he's such a good dog aswell not agreesive or anything❤🐶. Kalusa looks so weird during the day, very skinny😅🦉. Little Dude is so cute and funny "frustrated old man"😅 Thanks alot to all the supporters and thank you Chris and Gabby for everything you do for these animals!❤

[@jesscleveland407]

The emus were so small, cannot believe just how fast they grew! Love seeing all the animals thriving living their best little lives.

[@salvatorediangelo453]

4:40 I had to comment on how adorable Poppy is when he demands pets. FYI You're pigs are awesome, I could watch them eat all day!!

[@darrenwilliams4828]

Thank you, Chris and Gabby. ❤

[@CharlesL-xc3ee]

Chris you and Gabby and the animals have a happy new year

[@hiho8084]

I'm starting to understand why Chris is so comfortable sitting so close to the gators. Am I right in guessing that when they first came up, mouths open, they were asking for food but once they saw he was going to be talking, they backed off, and closed their mouths? Even Julie is making an effort this morning to sit, but Daisy is definitely the best and cutest at it. I was just going to ask if it was me, or Amy is the biggest of the foursome. She looks massive next to them. Cracks me up that she sneaks into the other pig and goat pen. Thank you so much for the vlog. I always watch from start to finish. Don't want to miss a thing and it always goes by so quickly. It's SO great to see all the donations and know that people are chipping away at your wish list! I hope all the donations make a big dent in the needs of the Sanctuary.

[@bethannyallain5395]

A lovely and informative vlog. All the animals look so good. Your training shows with Bella and Big Mac.

[@LavenderLushLuxury]

Awesomeness

[@Debra.Justice]

Chris, since tortoises are cold blooded, do you stop feeding them like the crocodilians when it’s cold? Watching Ocala run and play just brings happy tears to my eyes. He is so adorable, and I can’t understand why anyone would abandon him. I love all of your animals, and I so enjoy watching your vlogs each evening. Hope you and Gabby have a wonderful weekend. Hugs from Tennessee. 💕

[@GatorChris_]

Yes that’s right

[@fredvomlehn8457]

Remind me, is Soulkie a Golden Conure? Everyone looks happier with the warmer weather. We are enjoying the same here in Mexico! Be Well all!!

[@BernieKressner]

Wow - Good job, Chris - - on being sensitive to Big Mac and Bella's needs and hazards of "cold feeding". [I accidentally killed a prize snake that way years ago - - did not understand.] =============

[@GatorChris_]

Oh noooo

[@BernieKressner]

@@GatorChris_ Yup. Before a partial hibernation, you need to take them in the house; get them WARM; feed them WARM; and let them poop WARM. Then you know it all "made it through", and energy went to the cells. After that, you can cool them for hibernation, ....

[@sephonelee1763]

❤❤❤

[@Angelface11]

Angelus almost has cross eyes. He's so unusual and beautiful looking. I wonder if he's as naughty as akila..likely. Not too many calm niles

[@kateh.7868]

I was watching a lion video located in South Africa and a lioness was playing with a ‘little dude’ porcupine and she did not fare well. Chris I’m not sure how the quills would get in your lungs or heart, considering he’s only about 2 feet high. If he backs into you. It’s most likely gonna be your legs/knee and that would really hurt!

[@kelseywilliams9616]

[@gabagool45]

Animals are so lucky to be part of the sanctuary, the knowledge you have for these animals is pretty amazing. Continue with the amazing work!

[@cspalla5]

Poor Bella's snot is all tore up. Hope it heals up.

[@lisaweatheral4458]

I am one to turn the sound down when the piggy part of your videos come on the sounds pigs make while eating because I have sensory issues but not bad enough that I can not watch them. Pigs are one of my fav barnyard animals. I make Rock pigs all the time too while crafting. Pigs are smart but so cute too. Bears use to be thought related to pigs but it is now believed that Bears are related to seals. I enjoy all videoed animals. Your videos are my fav.

[@dawnjaroch395]

Have a great nite Chris and Gabby. You to are the best. ❤

[@azaleapoison3593]

I wonder what a gator like Bella would do in the wild.. like, if she were to hunt in the winter and eat too much then she should have in low temps and how she would cope with that. I could imagine tho that this sort of information would be almost impossible to acquire.. but I'd love to hear the specialists speculate and discuss this.

[@jodes9902]

The emus are so quiet now. Was the little chirps rthey used to make related to them being young?

[@imad6478]

Gators are instinctive animals. Alot of people ignorant of the reptile have lost limbs and their lives trying to train them.

[@jimperry74]

I just thought it was funny when you were reading the thank-you notes with 2 gators a few feet away staring you down!

[@leviaustin-z8m]

do you train all the gators and crocodiles or just some and then just keep the others fed?

[@Morjority]

They will/are all being trained.

[@elisabethposada3007]

Wow Gators they won't eat when it gets cold 🥶

[@oskarnanno3751]

I love pigs ❤❤

[@pearlessence4413]

Hi, question, lets say you feed them today (its a warm beautiful day) tomorrow and the next few days are suppose to be warm also, but turns out to be cold, and stays cold. A week goes by and it warms again, does the food that has been rotting, now able to digest? Or just rot still? BTW I know you don't feed them enough to hurt them, this is just me wanting to learn more! Also, I cant find your Amazon link, I've clicked it before, but now I cant find it anywhere! Tried here, TikTok and Instagram. Thank you for all your videos, love watching! 😊

[@fuzyfuzfuz2]

I want to pet the foxes so bad!!! Also was that Tucan... purring?!?!

[@meloneyparker]

@@fuzyfuzfuz2 yes, he purrs!

[@damionkennedy4792]

How do you build your budgie and cockatiel enclosure I need your help how large and height it same have on ranch

[@shazoe1]

is the skunk not able to spray? if not could you explain in a video please? thank you

[@pattym.doolittle6038]

My belief is that she has been de-scented. This is a common practice for skunks in the pet trade, also for unreleasable skunks in wildlife sanctuaries.

[@meloneyparker]

@@shazoe1 Asami was a pet surrender and the owner had her descented.

[@Morjority]

She came from the pet trade and is descented.

[@Sera_Vaz]

Chris, why would Bella not know about herself? Was she kept in captivity?

[@RohitSingh-em2pm]

I have always wanted to buy something for the amazon wishlist, where can i find it? ❤

[@sreace723]

You can find it on their website.

[@lisabrewer7825]

I do wonder if African tribes would weaponize the shedded quills.

[@TentaclePentacle]

gators can eat carrion right? So why does it matter if the food rots in their stomach if they are able to eat carrion anyway?

[@pattym.doolittle6038]

When it gets too cold, their metabolism slows down and their digestive system doesn’t operate properly. This means the strong stomach acids/enzymes that would normally break down their food (including carrion) can’t do their job, and instead of running through the digestive system and being pooped out, the food just sits in their gut, rots, and can cause the animal to get sick and potentially die.

[@josepaz8310]

What would be difference between the gators eating rotten meat in the wild vs the meat rotting in their stomachs?

[@GatorChris_]

Active stomach enzymes.

[@christinawelsh3417]

Chris, who is with Dino? 😊

[@ralphspiegl]

hi

[@daisymay271]

Wouldnt the alligators eat the fish if you put fish in the pond?

[@Angelface11]

No. Not big gators, especially if they're well fed.

[@CharlesL-xc3ee]

Chris or Gabby do you have snakes that you can show

[@SenshinDk]

We can do without the pigs, haha.

[@heathoneal6987]

You should make Little Dude porcupine art and sell it to make some $ for the anctuary. You could probably sell each quill for $10 each. I like the pigs and Kit Kat, poppy, the gators and crocs, the coatimundi, the birds are cool especially jellybean, chunk skunk and the foxes. But for some reason I’m not a fan of Timothy and Topanga.

[@MarioLamRedRebel]

I love all animals but pic and cowe i have less love....... Because i have bin for many years a Butcher and not a small one but worked in Factory s with up too 5000 pics a day. So i see them as food but true the years following you guys my opinion has changed a bit not fully but work in progress. Greetings from the Netherlands 🐊🐹🐢

[@jovialthinker]

In the pigs defense, they are pigs. 😒 Do people expect them to use a knife and fork with napkins around their necks? 😂

[@dj_spaulding]

I don't understand why rotten food can kill alligators when they eat rotten food all the time?

[@ustinodj]

Just to have you understand the reasoning people skip the pig sections: misophonia is basically when you hear certain sounds it causes an adverse emotional reaction. Happens to me with the pigs and I am sure to a lot of other people, yes we understand that the pigs are just eating like pigs, but that does not solve the misophonia lol. Enjoy the content, but sadly I cannot watch the pig eating.

[@darrenking9357]

What would people expect from the pigs? There's a reason from a very young age that we all know the phrase "You eat like a pig!". They're doing what pigs do. 🤷‍♂ They're not supposed to eat all cordial the prairie dogs... Lol
