    It's a beautiful thing to watch someone making their dream come true! As always I'm blown away by the thought and care you put into every enclosure, not just with regard to safety but the happiness of the animals. These creatures, who may have experienced neglect or abuse will now live out their lives in a gorgeous paradise. You guys are doing a great job!!!💚

    I’ve always loved animals and it’s awesome to see somebody have their job be their passion. I wish I loved my job as much as you do. You and Gabby make an amazing team. To buy 40 acres takes hard work and you guys are building most of this yourselves. I’ve always supported main stream animal organizations like WWF, Humane Society, ASCPA,etc., but am happy to help you guys out because this is truly your passion. I can see the love of animals and how you pamper them with love and respect. Even Jellybean the biting Toucan,….you still show patience with him. Great jobs guys!!!!!! Keep up the great work!

    Chris and Gabby, I’m so happy for you both. The sanctuary is beautiful and brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for all your hard work to save these precious animals. I admit I wish you could bring Casper with you. I absolutely adore him. Hug all the animals for me. Love from Tennessee.

    So fantastic! I’m really excited for you guys and all the animals that will make their home with you! I’m not sure who is more excited about the big hole that is the future gator pond; Chris looks pretty excited but Clover is just euphoric, at least in the dirt phase of the hole!

I'm sorry for laughing at you Gabby❤❤❤❤ but Birfie is hilarious with you😂😂😂 also if you build me a little shack on the property I'd stay and work for free❤❤❤ just putting that out there! Loved learning about the arthritis issue for the alligators and concrete bottoms. If there is something better now like the options you guys are considering, would love to join a movement in pushing for that type of bottoms in enclosures from here on out. ❤❤❤❤

    @phantomapprentice6749 10 месяцев назад

    Impressive , still hope you intend to dig the pond deeper and wider, which is challenging ,even with a loader-excavator its lots of work. Concrete bottom but you could still throw some of that sandy dirt at the bottom, make it more natural to step on at the cost of a few centimeters?.
    And reason I myself am not crazy about the powder dirt hardening solution is that on my driveway my dad dropped some stuff like that , had it flattened with a loader and it did harden but whenever there is water on it from rain or just washing my car, it would turn murky (maybe its a bad mix but still) , so that's why concrete seems like the way to go and you can always have rocks at the bottom to give it a more natural feel..

Probably nothing, but I had similar experiences with a MEAN goose. Your sanctuary is not only a wonderful place for these animals, but it's so peaceful to watch. A slice of heaven that I get to see through your eyes. Thank you!

    So cool mate, I have used bentonite before it’s great stuff, just curious what do you think causes the arthritis with concrete ponds, would certain shaped ponds have more of an effect/ impact on the gators and how long would it typically take to see symptoms of arthritis in alligators housed in concrete. 🐊

      They have about 4 feet of digging space. There is no way to re-create what they would have naturally in the wild, most people that buy them keep them in ferret cages.. they will be more than happy with this!
