RESCUING MY GIANT TORTOISES FROM FLOOD WATERS!

[@warrenwall7095]

Your sister did a great job the other day, I don't know what was cuter her or the baby goats , they are wonderful, all your animals are fun to watch thank you

[@jamieandrew-kromer8008]

The goats will probably most definitely need deworming too. They get worms easy, especially with all that water.

[@clarksanimals4458]

Yea my goat like 8 years ago when I was 3 died from heartworms and he was only like 5 months and I would always sleep with him Edit: When I was 5 he died I am 13 now

Blake I would contact local construction or in-ground pool companies, see if you can work something out with them about receiving loads of dirt that they dig!

[@jayman2232]

If only he contacted Paul before he would’ve had a lot of dirt not enough but a lot.

[@ethanmay170]

Wot

[@bluedeva]

Cover the sulcata s shells in mud to keep the mosquitoes from digging under the scutes and use coconut oil to stop fungal mold. Then feed them pumpkins so help with de worming. Hope this helps and saves you from having to take them to the vets. Also tip the sulcata nose down to help drain any water that may be sitting in their lungs. Bless you Blake for having to keep going through this. Especially when it’s not an easy fix nor cheap. Stay safe and take care 🤗🤗

[@GodisTruth914]

Oh man! I feel for you and your animals. Poor angels!! Moving all the dirt sounds like a great idea!! Y'all are in my thoughts and prayers!❤

[@emilybarber3773]

I hope balks reads these comments, they are very helpful

[@robertlukacs1762]

How thick is the concrete pad and dimensions? When Greg and his team come to do the pond, rent a crane. Lift the pad and put footers or pillars in. The issue I’m seeing is once you raise the ground the water will be dammed up towards the fish and other turtle in-closers. Need a areal view of your land when wet and dry. That will help you in determining how to make your run off and not upset your neighbors. Second thing would be to drill a well and use it to drain instead of supply. Yes we did that on our farm. Letting the ground filter during wet season and using for our stock during dry season.

Eucalyptus tree is good for soaking water quickly

Life of a farmer is not glorious, but some one has to do it . Good job Blake ........

[@JanieAmericanIrish7777]

I would move and rearrange the farm. That way when it happens again they won't be in water . Captain needs to be locked up in another area. I hope the weather is getting better. We have had days of darkness here and now rain. Uggg also riots but that's another thing. Hope things get better for you all. I truly enjoy watching your channel and animals. It's a great escape. Keep doing what you do. Hope the turtles stay safe... Put a call.out to fans in your area to help. I'm sure they will help. 🙏For you guys..

[@savannahgoldson6080]

Omg i hope the tortoises are safe

[@rosebyany1]

Oh my, what an absolute mess. It is going to be a huge clean up job. Sounds like a good plan you have to raise the level of the ground and the barn. I have no expertize whatsoever so I am not even going to attempt at giving you advice about anything. Just encouragement to do the things you need to do. It is so sad that you have to go through this sort of thing every time the rains come. Hope you are able to work something out for next rainy season. Like others I will be praying for you to succeed and get those animals in dry safe places. Take care and stay safe. Love from Australia 😢💖🇦🇺

[@rickphung7199]

Bruh no hate but you need to get on working on the flood situation thing when it drys up. You keep adding projects holding off others, preparation is always key and of course you can’t stop your land from flooding but you can reduce where the water is held up at. Imagine one time you forget and your tortoise who are land animals end up in a pool of water. Just take it into consideration

[@sheejathomas8233]

Love your videos bro..

[@1eljae1]

I’m back haven’t watched you in almost 2 years but I’m back and here to stay :)

[@DeadlyChinchilla]

Sulcata can actually swim a little? They *do* like hanging out in pools, though of course flooded areas aren't too safe. I'd rearrange your pens to limit how many creatures are in the flood plain, honestly. But don't panic if the tort hangs out in the water a little bit. They're surprisingly sturdy so long as it's not *running* water that overtakes them.

[@Mooffgamesgamer]

Here’s the thing, the water in this case is actually too *DEEP* for the tortoises. If you were actually watching the video, Blake just said in the beginning that he saw one of the tortoises almost drowned because it wandered too deep.

[@aaronbower5509]

Mooffgamesgamer/Fourfatsgamer yes But there is videos of sulcata adults and othe big torts like Galapagos being able to swim across streams that they can’t touch in. They aren’t a water species but they definitely can swim

[@jesuscichlidtank]

i wish you well and all those pets. be careful with all that animal waste in the water.

[@geetakadge5797]

Thanks Blake👍

[@bg3573]

Hey bro is it possible for you to get a pump so you can pump the water out off the barn? Either way love the videos👍🏾

[@danu.2118]

I think the enclosure of the Capybara and Side Neck Turtle should be deeper like a catch basin for the flood from the barn where Captain is and have a ditch or a drain from the Goat Barn draining towards that pond area and the Backside of than Barn can have a ditch or another pond like pen for a reptilians like alligator and cayman can be cement bottom with fence with little or no water a few meters deep and the length of the barn maybe nearly 2 to 3 m wide so the rain water can go there when it floods and gate direct to the aviary from the backside of the barn

do you have enaugh to get the yard next door yet? no worries on the talking we like watching your videos. Thats a good idea from Crae to get some extra fill if you need it. Great idea on raising the goat the barn and that area of land.

[@sladerussell1181]

Have you thought about digging a hole and putting a pump in it to pump the water away from the farm land??

[@kaptinkrook2263]

He mentioned that his street has no rain gutters so there technically nowhere to drain the water

[@glendacarpenter5300]

you know Blake i used to live in Port Richey Fla. and it was bad to flood and most every thing including our school were up on stilts, maybe some of your enclosers could be built up on mounds of dirt or stilts with ramps? for when it floods again and it will. climat is changeing and need to change with it, can't fight mother nature but you can work around her temper tantrums, stay safe and watch out for the monster mosqutios your whole yard is a breeding ground now. good luck Blake, and God bless

Blake’s exotic animal ranch

[@davidprentice6339]

Looks to me you have clay type soil at a certain depth causing the soil not to drain quicker... If you dig down past the clay especially any blue clay you can put in a French drain type thing large stones smaller stones then gravel in a deeper pit beside a swampy area keeping your property drier if not draining quicker, hope this helps

When moving the Dirt to where you want or need ...plant plenty of fast-growing grass to keep the water from washing the dirt away...!!!

Dig loads of the dirt out, use it to build the land up and fill the hole in with rocks and gravel, that will hold alot of the water and bot create an issue for your neighbours

[@josephthompson2081]

BLAKE where did you put fluffy and is she fine

[@lisawindemakernorris2334]

Blake , would it be helpful if you got a plastic blue kiddie pool to move some animals during flooding? You could use it also to pull feed around in the water. Just drill a hole and loop some rope through it for a handle. I know I'm an old grandmother but you need shoes and a back support belt. Don't beat your body up now. AND take some human dewormer, you can't help but get something walking around in that water shoes or no shoes. Prayers for sunshine.

[@Weeks25]

What about building a ledge on the inside of captains side of the barn so he can jump up on it an lay down when that happens. How is he laying down to sleep with nothing but a little square to stand on???

[@robertlukacs1762]

Oh yeah I forgot. Bamboo sucks up water very well. Weeping willow is another thirsty tree. Cotton wood is too but who in their right mind wants that pollen around. But bamboo is fast growing and very strong. Building material???

You should totally take the back pasture and dig down deep and move all that dirt towards the front pasture
