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!
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
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

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 🤗🤗
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.
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 😢💖🇦🇺
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..
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
You poor guy. I can't believe all that water. That's just crazy. I am glad that you didn't loose any of the animals because of all that water. I hope it dries up quickly for you.
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.
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
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
Great work bro you a real animal lover fam I had my whole house flooded like a year ago and the water would go up almost to my horses stomach and it was a really big horse
@@Rknowles813 no he doesn’t he’s trying to save the animals and stop being a hater bro cause that’s all you know how to do and if he’s just doing it for views then why you watching him
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.
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.
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
I think it would great to see a collaboration with Paul Jacob finatic maybe Kenan and Joey yeah that would be cool to see you all doing projects together
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???
Looks like you are going to need A lot of fill dirt and sod next summer. Need to raise the property ground and make some kind of drainage or holding pond.👍Goodluck 😮😡😠
You need to raise the level of the yard call any company that moves clean fill dirt and have them dump it on the areas needed also maybe build a large trench that has a pump to pump the water to a better location
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
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.
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
You need to just move the barn up to the road side. I have been wondering about the reason the water is now draining in so bad, what changed in the area to cause it to be so bad this year. You can sue if some one else changed their land and it has caused your place to flood. There is $50k in machine flooded under water twice now.
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???
This reminds of a guy that *SET A TORTOISE FREE IN THE SEA HE JUST TOSSED THAT POOR BABT TURTLE IN THE WATER BECUZ HE DIDN'T KNOW TORTOISE'S CANT SWIM LIKE A TURTLE!!* >:(
u might want to seriously consider solving the flooding issue first. the glacier will keep melting, sea level will not stop raising. if your property is on lowland it might be better to shift property so that long term wise is more workable for ypu and the animals welfare. if not you might had to get engineer to look into way to reduce flooding n increase draining system. trust me more floods are coming. i know you try your best to give the animals the best quality of life you could. good luck n keep up the gd work
you live in fla .. so the water level is also low when you dig all those ponds and strip the land of trees it will cause this so sorry Blake i live in the center of fla and i see this alot when constrution come and ruins the land!!

Excellent job keep up the good work
I posted on the last video idk if its possible to have the watter pumped directly on a water truck like the ones they use for making roads
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
TY 😊
Hope everything gets better for your farm you might want to put a pallet out for Captain to stand on like him a little more room
Great work keep it up like you’re my favorite RUclipsr

Could you drill some holes in the metal at the bottom of the fencing to help clear the water?
Why don't you never go in Gothalina's encloser???
Cool Blake keep up the good work
Good luck with all the water.
Blake you should put a wooden spool in captins area so he stand on it when it floods like that
Have you thought about digging a hole and putting a pump in it to pump the water away from the farm land??
He mentioned that his street has no rain gutters so there technically nowhere to drain the water
Sorry I commended the other day saying glad it all dried up I must have watched a old video Hopefully all be better real soon xx

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...!!!
You should totally take the back pasture and dig down deep and move all that dirt towards the front pasture
Can’t you raise the ground throughout the property
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
