- We have been spying on Dino to see if he is in fact the one eating the missing food! Dino is suffering from lead poisoning, but we want to get him eating before doing treatment. Will he eat?!
Poor Dino, so sorry he’s not eating yet. You two are amazing for taking care of these gators and giving them the best chance they got.
My heart sank when you saw the vulture had taken the food. Poor Dino. I know you and Gabby are concerned, but you’re doing everything humanly possible to save him. I’ll keep him in my prayers. Love you guys and your precious animals. Hugs from Tennessee. 🐊🥲
I'm sorry Dino didn't eat. I'm praying that he will start eating on his own. Keep doing the amazing work you guys are doing, Chris and Gabby.
It’s such a shame, poor Dino, gonna keep my fingers crossed for him that he will realise you mean him no harm, and start taking some food soon 🐊❤️🩹🐊
I feel such empathy for you two. I know what this gator, all gators, mean to you. My heart is broken that he wasn't the one taking the food. I'm pulling and praying for him and you have thousands of other fans doing the same thing. I see success. I do. He's going to pull through! Manifest and visualize, pray and focus. Dino is going to make it. He's on HIS time line. ❤
Oh no! I was really hoping he was eating! I know y’all are doing the best anyone can do to save him. Praying for that sweet boy to be healed.
Thank you for helping Dino!! We're all pulling for him--big time!!
Prayers for Dino boy. Blessings.
Poor Dino, I was so hopeful it was him taking the food.😕 And sacrificial offerings to the swamp monster was definitely the feel of this video 🐟🍗🥩🐊
Hard to watch that Dino didn't eat, hopefully soon!!
For those who don’t know, lead poisoning causes severe nausea, vomiting and I diarrhea. Really complicates treating animals. Feel for him and for both of you.
I was waiting for this video 😁 Thank you so much. Have an awesome weekend.
That really sucks that Dino hasn't ate yet, I hope he starts eating very soon, do you think because he has all those issues that he just doesn't feel like eating? Sending positive vibes and love to Dino, Bella, big Mac, akila and to the rest of bellowing acres
I think Dino knows his own system. He isn't eating because he knows he can't. He knows he is safe and that's enough for him. Thank you for all you for all the animals in your charge.
Thank you for the update. I have been feeling very worried about Dino, so it was great to know at least what is happening. I am very sorry for you and Gabby. You are trying your best and giving your heart and soul for the welfare of these animals. I cannot even imagine how sad it must be for you to see them then not doing well. My best thought and wishes with you guys
Man, I was SO hopeful that he was eating..... such a bummer for you both. I now how attached you already are to him. I pray he does eat soon. I've never been so eager to see a gator eat.
Sorry to hear about Dino!! Hope he gets better soon!! Have a nice weekend Chris and Gabby!!
I had been waiting for another follow up video on Dino. Who would ever think an Aligator would not want to eat.
Damn, it was a vulture after all. :( I was really hopeful. I knew you guys were too. I'm sorry to hear it. I hope you guys can find a way to make Dino come around.
Vulture's pretty cool though. They're supposed to be super smart and sociable.
Dino and Akilla are going to start a "death to the stick devices" club.
Wow. I did not realize that pool was that deep. Hope you're enjoying the weekend 🐊
Mommy & Daddy are so worried about their baby! Poor Dino! Prayers they don't have to force feed him!!! Hey if ANYONE is able it sounds like they need a new pump! If your able PLEASE support these wonderful & caring people!!!! ❤️
It breaks my heart to see him not eating but as you say chris, they can go a long time without food. Come on buddy were all routing for you ❤
You are treating Dino better than my parents did. Keep up the amazing work, i hope Dino gonna eat soon.
Vultures and possums were my first guess lol
With all those wild animals on his property I'm surprised none of his animals have been attacked yet.
It's really sad to see him like this, but I understand that fasting is positive for his recovery process. I just hope he doesn't have to go through force feeding. His eyes, of course, are a good sign! 😊❤
Bleedin' vulture. I was so hopeful. I know you'll keep trying. He's a real beaut of a gator; sure hope for a full recovery for him when you're able to treat.
Poor Dino its killing me he won't eat can't even imagine what its doing you guys great ful for all the effort your putting in Thank you
Oh Dino come on buddy 🐊
Prayers for Dino ❤
I'm wishing the best of luck for you two and Dino.
That's a really nice pond you guys have built
nice cut of meat - lucky vulture
Я так хотела, чтобы Дино это сьел😢
Cmon dino... take a lil nibble
Thank you for letting us share Bellowing Acres from afar
I really hope he starts eating soon.
I'm so sorry Dino hasn't eaten yet :(
Keep at it, thank you for the update.
Vultures, you got hawks and vultures. Your chickens ain't safe there.
Hey quick question:
I don’t know if you ever talked about it in previous video, but do gators and crocs ever play, or show playful behavior?
(Between themselves or with trainers)
Thanks, love your channel 👍
I really I wonder if you put in the enclosure with Bella and Big Mac if he would learn to eat from them and trust you more. Of course that would involve moving him and stressing him out, and yall are the pros tho! I know you mentioned on before that the fear was he would get the other 2 sick since you weren’t sure if he was contagious. Now that you know it’s lead, is it worth taking a chance and moving him?
Dino and Big Mac are two very large male gators. They would most likely become territorial and in Dino's state Big Mac would probably kill him.
Poor Dino, hope he gets well soon
I don't remember that medicine but a dog I had was succumbing to inflammatory bowel disease and the meds gave him temporary appetite. But trying for food when they just don't want it comes down to their quality of life. 🐊💚
On the side bar. I have been doing some research on my own for various reasons… On the topic of holistic medicine, primarily for animal, holistic medicine. I am already familiar humans use of holistic medicine because of the culture I grew up in in the interest I had growing up. Anyway thing that you were both educated in biology you might know about phytoncides. I’ve been trying to find other ways for my friends stricken with cancer to help fight it that isn’t so horribly hard on their bodies that aside, I started looking into it for animals one of the main reason ways to get phytoncides into our bodies is to inhale them. How do we do that well trees, exhale them certain type trees more than others so then I started thinking well it would be good for an alligator poisoned with lead to have that extra boost and I noticed the pond he is in
Is surrounded by trees. So then I started to try to identify what these trees species around him him being Dino. I think you have a couple of them that might be depositing phytoncides into the air around his pond. This just doesn’t seem like enough to help him so then I was thinking well garlic and a lot of other veggies naturally have phytoncides in them. But veggies and alligators. Don’t have a big history together lol not even sure if it’s good for them to eat them, but my mind working the way it does I still had to go into the direction of how to feed a carnivorous, alligator veggies, consistently, not as the only form of nutrients, but as a supplement… Then something occurred to me. Alligators eat animals and many of the type animals they eat are vegetarian‘s they’re herbivores, so maybe alligators via other animals stomachs are eating vegetables and benefiting from them and then this brought me to another thought… A lot of people who have amphibians and reptilesgut load their feeder food with nutrients including calcium. No chew do the same with Dino’s food except instead of crickets and roaches, do it to his unalived meat. You can throw powdered nutrients vitamin supplements and you also contains stuff garlic and stuff like that into the prey animal of choice to feed him right now. Like rats and stuff. This is just me trying to figure out a way to help Dino recuperate cause I’m already researching all this… I am so envious and I have mad respect for both you and Gabby becoming non-meat eaters… I have tried, and I’m weak willed, I guess. Makes me a hypocrite though and I’m not really comfortable with that concept at all. anyway, I hope you don’t mind me sharing what I find in my research, I brought up the vegan thing or vegetarian thing because I know that you would do nothing that is considered cruel even if it means helping, Dino. Since you don’t and won’t feed Dino live, pray, can you bring up something to maybe stir is in stinks to go and hunt like tie a already under live rat two or a little string that breaks easy and make it look like it’s swimming across the water… Anyway, I will let you go you’re probably thinking damn woman shut up… Lol🎉
Looks like they need new tongs to feed Dino!😊 Chris what are they called exactly and how could someone order new ones for you? Where can you buy them? I sincerely hope Dino starts eating! Give him time......
I feel terrible when one of my dogs skips a meal. I can’t even imagine how you guys feel with him not eating for so long. That’s all that you can do is keep trying and you have options for the future if he doesn’t start eating on his own. Fingers crossed his body will start healing.
If you got the water low enough, you might be able to add some weed trimmings to his water creating a weed tea that he's swimming in. If people get the munchies, maybe alligators do too? Or maybe something along the same lines could induce appetite, possibly a lady Gator. Science experiments are how we make progress. 🤓👨⚕️
Gator POV attach a gopro to him for a day???!!
Sorry if I missed it, but can you treat the lead poisoning now to help him heal so he’s able to eat?
The poor guy 😭 It’s devastating to see what lead does to the native wildlife. It really shows just how poorly he’s feeling that he’s still not interested in food. I give you guys so much credit for all you’re doing for him. Fingers crossed that he eats/gets fed so he can start chelation therapy ❤️🐊
How much is surgery to retrieve the lead ?
Goodluck with feeding the gator
Force feeding snakes really works , adding weight and often helping them to want to eat. Hopefully this technique will work on Dino. I know you will both do your best!❤🐊👍
Dino acts like he has a bowel obstruction so I would think surgery would be imperative
If Dino saw another gator being fed, would he learn that this is safe?
Does the camera have night vision ? Xx
What is the cause of lead poisoning?
does that concrete have good traction? makes me nervous at like 10:20 the thought of sliding down that concrete
Feed Dino by any means😂
Do gators eat all fish or do they have a preference?
They're opportunistic in the wild. Snakes, other gators, birds, racoons, possums. In captivity they get chicken, frozen rats, gator chow.
Is there poop in the water?
Do you have any large carrion birds there like black vultures?
I just finished watching this video after I posed that question. I had a phone call that distracted me. I love Condors being a Californian I grew up involved in Condor activism … this lead me to become familiar with other carrion eating birds…Including Black Vultures. I have two friends in New Jersey. Each had black vulture issues. I had to explain to them the vultures would not kill their dogs. 😮But in turn they shared stories about their black vulture experiences. In the process I have become very fond of vultures. I also found out how strong they are. Strong enough to carry meat away. So I thcoyght they might be your culprits
@@lisaweatheral4458 The vulture in the picture at 7:42 looks like a black vulture. However they also have turkey vultures in Florida.
Darn I was really hopeful, vultures are what I was worried would be the culprit if not Dino, some species can smell rotting meat from miles away. Is there anything that could be given to him to try and flush out that sinker/fishing weight? Also guessing a thing like what they use for a colonoscopy to try and grab it is out of the question, difficulties aside not sure if any vet has ever done that on a gator.
Hi
Can you use a glass jar to see down into the water without diving in? In my mind it should work.
Is it the gator that was with short tale?
That's Tadpole, and he is in his own enclosure and can't escape.
We are all pulling for Dino!
hi
I'm going to say the pond would not drain anymore because Dino moved on top of the drain and stopped the water from flowing
POSSIBLE A FEW
MARSHMALLOWS
WILL STIMULATE
HIS APPETITE?
Your going to have to explain the holding your breath and smelling at the same time.
How come there isn’t a filter on the gator ponds to help clear the algae and lessen the need to drain them so often?
This has been covered numerous times, including in Chris’s daily vlogs. This has been being discussed for months.
You probably can't film it, and I know you are against it, but maybe feed live a couple times. At least to get his appetite stimulated, get that lead flushed out. He has hunted FL waters for decades, he might eat rotten flesh, but likely hasn't had to often. That lead weight was likely attached to a live fish at one point.
