Chris and Gabby, please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of Zahir. He was a wonderful ambassador for his species and I really enjoyed learning about him. You created a beautiful and thriving enclosure and environment for him. So, please know that there was nothing more you could do for him. Unfortunately, this happens and are left to pick up the pieces with a ton of questions that can never be answered. I hope you dont give up on the species and in time provide a good home and environment for another croc monitor who is in need. Grab Ocala, Bean, clover and Osami and cuddle them all in bed! ❤
I do hope you get answers for what happened to him. I am always impressed how he ate eggs!
i am OBSESSED with your prairie dogs and YES i could watch them all day!!! it's my favorite part of every video, especially when they work on their tunnels! if you started a channel, i'd be the first one subbed!!! More more more Prairie Dog Tunnels!! 🤞🏻
I am so sorry Chris. God promises we will see each other in His Kingdom , and He even says that children will play with venomous snakes and not be hurt and all the animals will live together in harmony . It seems like God is calling many of His creations home these days , so please take heart , you will see the ones you lost again. Love you so much Chris and Gabby , I am so thankful for both of you , you lift my spirit every day , be blessed in Jesus Mighty Name !❤❤❤🦎
Chris and Gabby, I am so very sorry for your precious loss of Zihar 💔🥺 what a beautiful ambassador he was. Just breaks my heart whem we don't know how and what happens to our babies that we care so much for🥺 you and Gabby have a gorgeous sanctuary for all animals and that my dream one day. I'm only rehabbing opossums atm and they have very short lives, a piece of my heart goes when they leave me. Thanks for all you and Gabby do! I'd love to visit one day!💜💜💜 and thanks for spreading the awareness of plastic! 🙏🙏
So sad to hear about Zaheer's passing.😪Even harder when out of the blue like that. I guess it was just his time. Sometimes crap just happens no matter how great the care😣
So sorry for your loss.. When i saw the news in your insta I immediately felt so sorry for his passing. He was the most beautiful croc monitor i have seen. Sometime healthiest of a person die peacefully in their sleep. He was such a gem in you life. He will always be remembered..
I am so sad to hear of Zahir’s passing. He was such a handsome croc monitor. Please don’t be hard on yourselves… he had the best life at Bellowing Acres. Love you guys!! ❤❤
I am so sad to hear of Zahir’s passing. You guys do so much for these animals and it is so sad when one passes. Take the time to grieve and know what you are doing is very special for all the animals at Bellowing Acres!
I could watch the prairie dogs all day
I am so sorry for your loss of Zahir. It was heartbreaking to see Chris with Zahir's lifeless body. It is so hard to loss a pet, and my heart goes out to you both.
I'm so gutted guys.Poor gorgeous Zahir.Such an impressive animal . It's a double blow for Croc monitors,as I hear Tom Crutchfield is being moved off his property.I always associate Croc monitors with Tom.I'm so sorry for this to happen to Zahir Chris.After a time for grief,I hope that you'll perhaps rescue another Croc mon,as that wonderful enclosure you built shouldn't go to waste.So,so,so sorry all at Bellowing Acres.😓🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️🦎🦎🦎
Zaheer was Chris's personal pet
I'd encourage you guys to seek a necropsy so you know for sure what happened.
It's devastating and as you know, reptiles are very good at hiding illnesses 🥺 I lost one of my beardies unexpectedly recently and it was such a shock.
My deepest condolences
Nice to see the rescued dog with alot more weight on looks alot better
As you know animals hide their problems so it's hard to tell when they're sick. So sorry for your loss :(
I am sorry for your loss and loosing a animal is like loosing a child. My paying goes to you and Gabby. Greetings from the Netherlands 🐊🐹🐢 ( please dont forget you can not save every animal. If you keep that in mind, you ran a sanctuary)
So very sorry for your loss. I’m wondering if the temperature fluctuations caused some sort of respiratory illness or even stressed this beauty. ❤ very tough.❤ Maybe get a necropsy if it’s not too stressing? Even with those my experience has been they don’t always show the cause.❤ I know it’s better not to have drastic changes of temps and sometimes it’s better to acclimate to cooler temps. Of course reptiles are an entirely different situation.❤
So sorry to hear about Zahir. He was a good boy and he had a great life thanks to you and Gabby. It’s never easy losing them. I don’t think you and Gabby did anything wrong. It was just his time.
We lost our 3 rescued Java finches because a neighbor was spray painting his car and some of the fumes got into our aviary. Yes we had a necropsy performed. As sad as it was we didn’t lose our larger birds even though we had birds as small as love birds and cockatiels. I was beyond furious, of course the Javas stood no chance being so tiny. We had to move our birds, close our windows and turn off our HVAC. If you have a chance to rescue some Java’s they are quite striking and very friendly social little birds even enjoying human interaction.❤
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful crocodile monitor. He was gorgeous.
My condolences on Zahir. 😞
Im so sorry Chris and Gabby. I'm so worried about my old pitt bull granddog (13) Winnie. We love love these animals. My heart feels for you two. I believe in animal heaven. Zaheer was gorgeous - the shades of color on his body was amazing.
Excellent vlog Chris and Gabby. Fun watching the different animals reactions to the straw. The 4 baby pigs are so cute. They seem to all do the same thing like follow the leader. So sorry for your loss of Zaheer. Sometimes there just is no answer to why. Unfortunately they can’t tell us when they are having issues and they hide their injuries and illnesses so well. You gave (give) great care to all your animals. Don’t ever doubt that. ❤
so sad. thank you for waiting on this news until after thanksgiving. it is sad and thank you for sharing your confusion
Thank you for another wonderful video.
I am so very sorry for your loss. 😢
I've been thinking how difficult is for you both memorize each animal name of your Vlogs sanctuary! That's is call a lot esfuer, dedication, patience and of course a lot of Love flow ❤.
Sorry for the loss Chris ☹️ some animals like snakes and lizards are inside to prevent things like this... That outside environment change isn't for every animal. People even keep birds inside so I'm just not sure what the practice for some of these animals are. I only noticed because Corbin Maxey keeps his lizards and monitors inside and I think that's the way to go..
My heart hurts for your/our loss. Thank you for showing the piggies doing regular stuff. I am enjoying that so much.
I'm so so sorry guys 🫂
The dogs seem just as fascinated with the prairie dogs as we are you really could make a channel all about them and I’d watch I love them I wish we could get in them tunnel s to see them 😂how good is Cayla the dog doing what a beautiful little dog so lucky she was found by two beautiful people like yourselfs ❤
Chris and Gabby, I am so sorry for you loss. Zahir was one of my favorites too. He was simply a beautiful lizard. And I thank you for sharing his life with me. I thank you for sharing the lives of all. Spend some extra time with Poppy and the Prarie Dogs as they are sure to help restore the smiles. Which reminds me, sign me up for the Prarie Dog channel! ❤
I am sorry about the loss if your croc monitor. The loss of a cherished animal is never easy. You have my empathy.
The prairie digs were a hoot.
I would think the fennec would okay outside year round. Deserts get cold at night.
RIP Zahir. Fly with the Angels.
When I saw that lying about a loss right away I was thinking which one which one could it be there so many that would be a terrible blow. Make that line L I N E not lying. Anyway my heart is with you as you grieve
I am so sorry about Zaheer. You did everything you could and it was probably something out of your control. These things happen and maybe he was getting older. You have no reason to feel guilty. He was loved, well taken care of and he will be missed. My thoughts are with you both as you honor your precious departed Zaheer.
Sorry about your Crocodile Monitor it's always hard to lose a beloved animal 💔👼😢
Very sorry for your loss, Chris & Gabby. It never gets easier and always takes a piece of our heart to lose a friend. Blessings to you both 🩵
Awe, I'm sorry about the crocodile monitor. He was so cool looking. 😞💕
So very sorry for your loss of such a beautiful animal. You and Abby must be heartbroken. You do such amazing work and bad things will still happen unfortunately. Stay strong.❤
Sending love for your loss. So sad. It's always a double edged knife in caring for animals.
Dear Chris and Gabby, my deepest condolences to you both. It is always so hard to loose those special creatures so close to you're heart. My prayers go with you both in the days to come 🙏 😢
I could watch them all day
I'm very sorry for your loss. May Zahir rest in peace!🙏❤️
I'm so sorry you lost such a special creature 😟 I hope he passed peacefully and you find closure. Take care of yourselves and know that he had a wonderful life, as short as it was and you did everything you could to provide for him 💚
I would love to know what their tunnels look like underneath - they are just the cutest I can watch them all day - and sorry for your loss, its a hard not to know the why -
Deepest condolences, you were terrific to your monitor. Please know that you didn't do anything wrong! Freak stuff happens and while I hope you can ascertain what happened I hope you find solace knowing that you enriched every single day of his life.
Ps-extra long "Prairie DogTiiiime!' was amazing today. Poppy is my main squeeze❤️❤️
So very sorry for your loss 💙
I'm sorry about zaheer. Your animals get excellent lives. They are very lucky no matter how long you have them
Ocala is really looking great 👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️
There really are no words to make it better when you lose a loved one…but I know if he could, Zahir would say Thank you ❤️ You gave him a beautiful life..I hope you both take comfort in that as you grieve. Thank you Chris & Gabby for devoting your lives to helping animals, providing them an amazing life & for educating us all on wildlife. You really are making the world a better place.
You and Zaheer will always be connected
So sorry for your loss, guys. Zaheer was a beauty of a crocodile monitor, greatly cared for, and deeply loved. He will be missed.
I always enjoy your videos and seeing all the animals and all the work and love you put into their care. I am brokenhearted to hear the sad news about Zahir your crocodile monitor passing so suddenly. He was a beautiful boy and I am so sorry. Much love and hugs to you both as I know what a sad day that must have been. I know it will take some time to heal from his sudden loss. RIP Beautiful Zahir.🪽🌈Wings of Love sending you over the Rainbow Bridge. Oh my gosh I have tears in my eyes.😢
I am SO very sorry!! I am sad right with you both!! :( RIP little buddy!
Very Sorry about Zaheer. He will be missed.
always interesting to learn what is good and bad for the animals... the bird safe heating is something I never knew about before!! So sad about the croc monitor!! I remember Kenan had one that passed away suddenly too, and I think it was a female which had something related to the reproductive system happen. It sounds like yours is male though which isn't the same.
Oh man, Zaheer was my favorite. So sorry for your loss, guys. He was such a cool croc monitor! Rest in peace, mighty Zaheer!
I am so sorry for your loss. Some things just can't be explained or avoided. You took excellent care of him. Kenan from Kamp Kenan lost one also to something undetectable and unavoidable.
Looks like everyone is ready for a little winter snuggle time !☺️
I'm so sorry over your loss. Monitors are amazing creatures, and one of my favorite reptiles.
I also agree with your caution about plastic. My late husband was a chemist in the agriculture industry, and he could tell when plastics were being used in our foods based upon the numbers he would get from his GC/MS/MS (gas chromatography/mass spectrometer x 2). He was always very careful about any of the plastics we used around our animals, and I wish he was still alive so that I could share your vlog with him as he paid for college working as a vet tech and rattlesnake wrangler (he wouldn't kill them, but would take them someplace safe to be released).
So very sorry chris 🙏
I am so unbelievably sorry for your loss it’s so heartbreaking losing a member of your family human or animal
The prairie dogs are HILARIOUS! Even Poppy is actually doing work!
Sorry to hear you have lost Zahir. It's not necessary the temperature. He might have had some illness you didn't even know about.
Oh no. So sad, sorry for your loss. He’s an amazing animal.
So sorry for your loss. It never gets easier, but you gave them a wonderful home ❤
I love seeing the two dogs together having fun :) God Bless :)
Thinking of you both xXx
I'm sorry to hear about Zahir 😢. I know that he will be missed by y'all, but just know that he had a great life with y'all. May God comfort y'all during this time of loss because I know it's hard. Hugs to you and Gabby
Im so sorry to you both on your loss, you guys above and beyond 🐊
Sad about the crocodile monitor. Its gotten pretty cold at night in Florida but he has that heated enclosure maybe a way to find out how cold it got in there could help avoid this kind of tragedy in the future but maybe it was something else that got him. All we can do is try to learn from something terrible so it didn’t happen in vain. U guys are skilled, caring, kind caretakers
Kamp kenan had something similar almost happen with slinky his monitor. He almost passed cause for some reason he left his hide on a cold night. He found him n thought he was gone took him inside and slowly heated him up and slinky is alive. It's been awhile since that happened. I am so sorry for your loss, he was a beautiful croc monitor! It's always hard when u don't know y.
Oh no…I’m so very sad for your loss of Zahir…he was so beautiful and I always enjoyed seeing him in your videos. It’s never easy, but the sudden death or severe illness that results in that very painful decision around quality of life is the hardest for me. It is my belief that grief honors those we have lost. Please take care of yourselves.
So sorry for your loss, we understand how hard it is to process. Needed time for that needs no apology. So sad when we loose someone we love .
So sorry for your loss and our loss Chris. How rare was he and can you get another for his enclosure? It won’t replace him but I sure hope you can?
I am so sorry about Zaheer... I can't... he was actually my favourite boy. I'm going to miss seeing him.
Wow Chris and Gabby I am so very sorry for your loss he was fun to watch how he ate the eggs again I am so very sorry for your loss.
The croc monitor loss is devastating 😢 I'm so sorry! There's nothing more you could do. You did your absolute best. Don't blame yourselves. This is just Nature's course.
I’m so sorry u lost him, beautiful animal xx
I agree you could do a whole vlog on the prairie dogs and it would be successful,they are so adorable and so much fun to watch, so is Asami. I am so extremely sorry for your loss, that croc monitor was such a huge part of the vlog and he is such a beautiful and cool monitor. My condolences.
poor Zahir :/ so sorry for your loss
Prayers of comfort during this time of grief 🥲❤️
Soo sorry for your loss
CHRIS & GABBY I’m so sorry about the loss of your Croc Monitor that’s so sad and a huge loss .. You did everything so don’t second guess yourself it wasn’t your fault Chris.!! ❤❤Sorry again
So very sorry for your loss. You do everything you can for these animals. The hardest part is losing them. Take heart in all the other healthy animals that depend upon you and know that many may people are sending you positive vibes for all of them and you and Gabby. You're both an inspiration to all of us.
Oh no, sorry to hear about Zaheer. I don't remember if he was a surrender animal or how old he was an maybe had worms or something parasitic from a previous owner. He was an awesome animal an a beautiful one. Are you having a necropsy done to find out the cause of his passing so maybe you could maybe prevent a future passing or if this was from natural causes like because of age or something that was not preventable when you get another monitor?
Oh Chris I don't know what to say. I loved watching Zaheer. He was just so impressive. I just have no words except to offer my condolences to you and Gabby.
So sad about your little fella rip sweetie and can imagine your pain you and Gabby the best and look after each other ❤😢
Talk to Jerry Wolfe and Kegan’s Camp they both had their monitors die from crazy circumstances one was in mating season and was chasing the female fell off the sunning perch and broke his neck, Kegan his female died from over load of egg follicles, it’s kind of crazy how some monitors will die for Bo reason. They can also teach you on keeping them. They are good in their monitor care. And sometimes things happen beyond your control. Tfs ❤😊and sorry for your loss.
My condolences. He was so cool. Of course you both always give your animals the very best. He had a fulfilling life with you. 😢
Oh you guys, I am just so sorry. Gabby, I remember you told me last week how fond you were of him. Sending both of you lots of healing energy and may he rest in peace love and power on the other side. Thank you for giving him a beautiful life.
Im Soo Sorry for your Loss 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss. Zahir was amazing and beautiful. Thinking of you, sending love.
Great video, you do so much for all your animals. Sorry for the loss of your personal croc monitor. Losing an animal is always hard.
I'm so sorry about Zaheer. Our deepest condolences, it's just horrible to lose animals like that😢
So sorry Gator Chris and Gabby for your loss. It's very hard to loose the ones you take care of. Hugs to You both.
I’m so sorry for your loss. You take top notch care of your animals and make sure they are comfortable and loved.
I am so glad that you have a source with gatorland.
You guys continue to work very hard to get your place set up. I think one day it will be a popular attraction for families to see! 👍
First time I have ever seen poppy work. So sad about zahir
So sorry! ❤️ I just went through a fur baby loss, its so hard!!!!! You 2 give these babies their best lives! Know he was happy! Prayers!
On a cute note, I have to say watching Caloosa listening to you talking Chris, is the cutest thing!!! She looks at you, then looks away, like she guarding, then back to you! So sweet! 🦉
Ecstatic joy in Prairie Dogville. 39° good time for hot water bottles, they're so in fashion in Europe. I imagine 5 schools little noisemakers waiting in line to visit the Happy Critter Bliss Sanctuary might be lucrative.
