Nice rescue save 💜💛

[@Olive131]

Rex is beautiful!

[@aliciapabon5057]

I have to acknowledge how all of your animals come to greet you when you go to visit and feed them. Even at a zoo they run the opposite direction. Shows how kind and gentle and very nurturing you are with them and they genuinely trust you and Gabby. Love to see this 🫶🏼

Hazel the fox is adorable ❤

Greetings from Northern Cape South Africa. Thanks for the sanctuary update vlog. Lovely to see you help out the hawk, nature needs a kind helping hand sometimes. Freak accidents do happen. We rescued a large water monitor. It was lying on its back with its tongue all dehydrated and lying outside of its mouth. I had gone into upington with my daughter for most of the day, because its quite the distance to travel. She managed to roll the tongue back after we poured water over it, using wooden ice cream sticks. We lifted the water monitor together, into a half blue drum cut lengthways, with a little water in the drum. My son in law fed it beat raw eggs for two days with a large syringe. Once it was able to work its tongue normally again we released it back into the Orange River. It happily was tipped onto the river bank out of its temporary home. Lovely to watch it running into the water and swimming off We think that it was dropped by a fish eagle. Poor thing lay on its back in the full sun busy drying out until we got home late afternoon.

[@Axxe1]

great job with the water monitor!!

[@GatorChris_]

Nice save!!

[@TheUltimateCruiser]

Thank you Chris!!! I love Daisy, Julie, and Petunia!! :)

[@keldaMouse]

hi Chis, wow that is a really interesting plan with the habitat materials placed on your extra property to attract snakes. It will be a neat process to see what kinds you are attracting at different times of the year and how many. it is so fun to have that wild part of your property for extra activities and just to enjoy and give nature a home. Prayers for Dino and blessings to all!

[@GatorChris_]

That's the plan! Thank you!

[@jennb8063]

The prairie dog commentary made me laugh. So funny! "Poppy looks the most perfect, he does the least amount of work. At least Harvey has a little bit of dirt on him."

The way you handle injured animals and give them a good as possible chance to life!! Sometimes they need help for the rest of there lifes..sometimes like this young Hawk they get immediantely a second chance and they go right back to mother nature!! Love this, again great job Gabby and Chris!!

[@jessiek3500]

Poor Jet with the storm. I know how he feels i hate the noise as i have sensitive hearing. I wonder if his hearing is more acute with such big ears

[@kneeldownb4me]

Thank you both & all your help for the wonderful you do, for making a positive change in this world. You have a sneaky way of educating us as we are distracted by their cuteness.

[@keldaMouse]

I know I swear I learn something new at least weekly!

[@GatorChris_]

Haha thank you

[@celtzen]

Now that was thunder! Wow :-) Looking forward to seeing what kind of scaley residents you end up with in the easement!

[@DeliberatelyBearded]

Little Dude is absolutely adorable in his cave with his corn I can't take it cuteness overload

[@AccioPadfoot12]

Agreed! He's adorable!

[@keldaMouse]

He is such a star!

[@coloraturaElise]

Cool....so you'll be able to go flipping on your property! Flipping videos were the first reptile ones I followed....my favorite is NKFHerping, based near Atlanta.

[@GatorChris_]

That's the plan!

[@jinxgirl5]

I can't remember if ya'll had knife chicken or rainbow knife chicken merch at one point, but if not that should be a thing. Also as an idea the words "working hard" with a picture of Cheeky then "hardly working" with a picture of Poppy XD Love the little cameos of the birds in the background when you feed Rex. And aaaayyy, Weasley twins in America!

[@nancyeveritt6495]

I love the Cheeky/Poppy idea! 😂

[@rajeshkoothrapali3489]

i just can't keep from complimenting you guys! it is AMAZING, what sort of attachment i have to all these animals as simple viewer, and it's all down to how you treat them and how you present these video logs. also, zazou the knife-chicken should be a cartoon 😂

[@rajeshkoothrapali3489]

and who were the twins? 😂 they seemed to know their stuff!

[@GatorChris_]

Thank you so much! The twins were Isaac and Aiden

[@DeliberatelyBearded]

I needed my vlog fix today for sure Thank you Chris!!!! Great vlog thank you & thank you for helping the hawk was it released back by your property or you don't know? Can't wait to see what kind of snakes turn up. You sure you ain't purposely caving in there tunnels to give the prairie dogs the exercise they need they're getting chubby 😂😂😂😂 Just Kidding lol poor jet he wss shaking so bad. Everyone looks great and so very happy love the Animals and the vlogs your doing fantastic job Gabby too mad respect have great night and weekend!!!!

[@GatorChris_]

Yes the hawk was released!

[@DeliberatelyBearded]

I understand it was released.....I meant was it released back where you found it or somewhere else? Should have been more clear.

[@dawnoliver1191]

I just locw these piggies so stinken cute ❤

❤️🐷

[@elisecurran9497]

Yes, future snake flipping!!

[@Debra.Justice]

Chris, so glad the hawk is good to go. Was that a red-tailed hawk?Their talons are something else. I have a hawk that visits my bird feeders occasionally. It usually gets a mourning dove. I think it’s a Cooper’s hawk, but not positive. Poor little Jet, that thunder scared him. Loved the closeup of Hazel’s sweet face. Have a blessed weekend. Hugs from Tennessee. 💕

[@coloraturaElise]

It says in the description what kind of hawk it is.

[@GatorChris_]

Thanks! It was a red shouldered hawk

[@Debra.Justice]

@@coloraturaElise Thanks. I usually read the description, but I missed it this time.

[@Debra.Justice]

@@GatorChris_ Thanks. I should have read the description.

[@nancyeveritt6495]

@gatorchris you should keep offering Hazel the fruits and other foods by hand, even when she grabs the chicken leg and runs. She's looking to you for more food. She may get to that point where she will eat the others out of your hand too. Been thinking this the last few weeks as she keeps coming back to you, stepping up on the log, looking for food. Keep offering. She's definitely coming around!

[@lisaweatheral4458]

You did so right by getting the bird of prey to a rehabber. He was one scared red tail hawk. I found out a long time ago as a child birds are not my forte to rehab birds. Once they're past needing rehab I'm great with them. What I do best rehabbing are some mammals reptiles and amphibians . I am still in the process of trying to start a sanctuary for California toads and if I could make it completely California amphibians because most of them are endangered in this area because it's a farming area and they use so much pesticides and stuff like that that harm animals including taking their land from them. Initially I was born and grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and lived in that area till I was 40 and then I moved to central valley California because my husband worked at the hospital here and my grandmother just lost our grandpa and she was here. Believe it or not there is quite a few wild animals that live in the San Francisco Bay area and of course we have the ocean 🌊 The San Francisco garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis tetrataenia) is a federally endangered species that lives in isolated populations in the coastal and bayside wetlands of San Mateo County, California. The snake's limited range and preferred habitats make it vulnerable to habitat destruction, urbanization, and the decline of its food source, the California red-legged frog. I actually caught both as a young girl. I was born in 1960. I was like you Chris when you were a kid. We have had so many animals disappear out of California it is sad and our pesticides almost made our condors go extinct.

[@GatorChris_]

It’s so sad how many animals are gone now

[@sephonelee1763]

❤❤❤

[@lisahicks5234]

That's a beautiful Hawk. Hope it is ok. What kind of Pigs do you have. These Pigs are different. So cute. Are they Gofers. We have a Mother and 4 baby's. Love the Lizard. 😮 I have no idea what the heck is that animal.

[@bethannyallain5395]

Maybe Jett's dna isn't wired to deal with thunderstorms. I would imagine the thunder hurts his ears. Daisy may not like pets but she is a capital sitter. Glad the young hawk is okay.

[@stephanie_beth]

🐾🙏👏💝 I probably missed it, but do the foxes, Prairie Dogs, etc. have water available to them at all times inside their enclosures?

[@GatorChris_]

Of course, it would be completely unethical and ILLEGAL to not do so

[@abbyfromkc652]

Chris I tried checking eastern snouts and I don’t know if I am too far but wanted information about the foster piggies. What kind how big? Can they be litter box trained? Life expectancy? I know that I can’t handle prarie dog (or my dad calls them ground squirrels he’s from western KS) or kuadi but I like to get information so that I can provide the best possible care for the longest quality life possible.

[@GatorChris_]

Try contacting eastern snouts directly, I’m not sure what kind they are, but since they’re almost a year old living outside they would probably be best kept outside

[@abbyfromkc652]

@@GatorChris_ thank you! Just so you know that I have looked twice now…..but if they’re happy outside and I know they are well taken care of…. I just can’t handle a pig as big as Julie.

[@kaitlyn888]

I believe that hawks can lose their bearings and get lost and get confused when there’s large storms I don’t know if that’s true or not? But that could explain why he was a little discombobulated and on the ground

[@taylorgalvan1414]

Great video I love and look forward to them every single day. Petunia looks really skinny. Is she OK?

[@GatorChris_]

Petunia is good, just eating slower than the others and Julie is a bully, that’s why you’ll see me trying to feed extra every time during the videos. Petunia is not unhealthy but we are aware and planning on making changes

[@boazisraelbrem1579]

You should lay few 4 by 2 flat

[@BethCampbell-b9c]

Do the animals eat the entire corn and cob or just the kernels?

[@GatorChris_]

Just the kernel

[@faylinn1]

Chris, did you know there's a KZbin shorts video out there of you at the end of it with Casper, that the narrator/AI is insinuating you found him abandoned as a baby & raised him? Thought you'd want to know since they're using video of you & him.
