Yes! Thank you!
I am completely fascinated by your videos. Thank you both for sharing your journey.
Glad you like them!
I 'm so sorry for what it's been done with so many innocent creatures! Every time I pass a truck transporting cattle or poultry to the slaughterhouse, or when I pass in front of a fox-style farm, I feel pain and shame and I ask for forgiveness in the name of humanity for all the tortures that are being committed. It's sad to see how scared the foxes are and I'm glad their current experience is so different. This is said by someone who worked as a volunteer for a long time at a shelter for abandoned and abused animals. Thank you for your work❤
lol every time o pass a truck with cattle I’m thankful. Especially as a truckers wife. You need more education about livestock and read what is says in the Bible.
You also I’m sore by products made in china
@MeadowsMiniFarm I'm guessing being a truckers wife your not very educated on spelling lol
@@MeadowsMiniFarm "lol" I hope your husband loses his job. Don't bring the Bible into this bc that shit is outdated
Big Mac quickly became my favorite
Casper is still my favorite
@@emmanuelzanders1746Bella Is
okay so Big Mac is so very very cute. 🐊 He is just getting so spoiled with daddy Chris throwing chicken gently in his mouth. The way he just calmly waits to get food (since he can't see) but listens to hear his name and then opens wide for his food. And Bella coming to you for food. So COOL what an accomplishment! They are so adorable together. I think they are learning!
Prayers for Dino. I am so hoping that the lead will leave his system successfully and soon!
Akila is also such a beautiful Croc also. she is so calm, I think she is just restraining her fury for a good thing.
Shout out to Fergus the Bermese Mt Tortoise🐢 and the Redfoot Tortoises. I just love these awesome big turtles. They are just chill and so relaxing to watch. Seeing their shells just glisten in the rain was amazingly stunning. Such colors and shades.
All your enclosures are just heavenly. Blessings!
Thank you! And Big Macs vision has almost entirely returned now!
Another great informative episode. Thank you for showing your training with the gators. What a break through with Bella. It won’t be long and she will be right up there eating too. Big Mac is a stunningly beautiful animal. So much expression in his face and eyes.
Akila is such a smart girl!"💚
Oh my. What? Big Mac and Bella. Love the progress. My cat 🐈⬛ and I watch everyday. We adore all the animals and the care and love you invest. Thank you.
Big Mac is looking very healthy! 🐊💚
❤️🐊
Relaxing to watch Akila, Bella and Big Mac have their snackies😊
I'm so happy that Bella is eating! She & Big Mac are such a cute couple. Tadpole is such a fierce little survivor!
Akila is beautiful and scary smart!
Yea she is!
I thought she looked bigger, before long you'll have a lake placid situation on your hands!
This is just mesmerizing to watch. I never, ever thought I'd enjoy watching gators.
me neither but they look kinda cute especially big mac
So cool to see Bella start to associate food with both of you guys 😄
So great!
Idea for future enclosures: Paint foot and half foot markers on the shallow end of the alligator pools, so you can strategically train them and get a quick measurement at the same time.
Awwww I'm so happy to see Bella 💚
I know it is ridiculous, but Big Mac does look as if he is a happy guy now.
Another triumph 🙏 ♥️
🙌
Maybe that adrenaline burst Akila had when attacking the broom initiated a growth spurt.
Everyone: please watch with full ads! Every time means microfunding for Bellowing Acres
She may have been in a great deal of stress prior to coming to your sanctuary!
With your amazing efforts and working with her so diligently, she may actually have put on weight, and filled out a little bit feeling more comfortable stress-free.
Great job guys she’s doing fantastic
I hope so!
Glad yall are getting the rain you need ❤
I love the foxes too. I watch and also support Save a Fox. They save critters other than foxes too. I also watched a UA-cam today where about 30 horses were saved. That definitely takes up a ton of land to have a horse rescue. We seem to dispose of just about anything we ‘use up’. Very sad when it is a life that has given its all in whatever service they provided. 😮😢
Thank you for supporting SAF. They originally saved the former fur farm foxes we see in Bellowing's videos: Kira, Yue, Shippou and Hazel (which Gabby and Chris adopted)! (Besides 496 additional foxes, 190 still looking for forever homes)
Akila the Nile Crocodile does look bigger Honestly TBH, Tadpole so cute swallowing underwater 🍗🐊💙💛 Down with the Fur Farming Industry
Big Mac and Akila are polar opposites when it comes to their speed, but they both love their food! And so amazing that Big Mac has been a positive role model for Bella, it's amazing that she's coming up now! She's also a cute gator, when we can actually see her XD
Love seeing Tadpole thriving as well! I'm curious what they (she) will be like in a few years, given her tail. And for the gator gender reveal at some point XD
Haha yep!
Gosh, Akila came a runnin'! She's a wily one for sure. I can't tell if she's tempting you to try and get that piece of chicken so she can get a bite in, or not, but I held my breath a couple of times. She's so rugged looking and definitely more aggressive than weeks ago. Big Mac...what a guy! He's handsome and polite. He seems to be thriving in your care, as do all the animals. Even Dino, with his issues is doing better than he was. So cool Bella is finally getting involved. I'm curious how sensitive their sense of taste is. Tadpole couldn't be any cuter. It's great he's eating too. It's hard to digest how horrible people can treat animals. We are supposed to be good stewards... Wow two prairie dogs loving the pets. pretty soon all four....😂 Thank you for another fun tag-along.👍👍
Akila is creeping.. getting very brave and closer to you during feedings.
She looks like she’s waiting for her move on you!
Yaay ! Miss Bella!
❤️ Big Mac
Great to see Tadpole!!
Baby 🐊 🐊 are so cute!
Your skills are polished with 🐊 🐊 Chris!
Love watching you engage with them!
Thx for today’s wildlife cuteness fix!
Very disheartening to hear about what happens to some animals at the hands of some men. 😔🥲😡
❤Poppy ❤
Big Mac is beautiful and watching Bella eat was fantastic. You are doing so well with them.
These poor foxes have never known a kind hand from humans until now and it shows. ❤. Sadly like most things it’s a simple case of supply and demand. The demand drives the supply. Truly disgusting what some humans choose to do. Thank you for saving them.❤. Also, I have some supplies I’d like to send to you guys.
Chris you always do wonderful work with all of these Alagator's and Crocodile's.
I love watching you with all of your Reptiles and Animals.
#Greatwork
Thank you!
@@GatorChris_ You are so welcome Chris.
What I said is the truth about what you do.
I love how you have always cared about all the lives of the Reptile's and Animals...
You are the best...
Akyla seems such as smart animal 🐊
each time Bella slowly sinks slowly I giggle and I cannot understand why.
Im so proud of bella, being brave enough to come for food. I thought akila was getting bigger, i thought i was going nuts, but she is for sure bigger than when you got her. Your vlogs are my happy place, i love to see how all your critters are progressing. Big mac is a gorgeous boy, i love his eyes ❤
She’s doing great
Bella and big Mac the most cutest couple on the planet❤❤❤❤
I think they like each other.
Hey Clistia! Aren’t the crocs doing well? Chris is an amazing trainer. Hope you are well!❤
@@kimcrawford5247 the croc is doing amazing, I agree Chris is such a great trainer. I'm doing okay and I hope you are doing well too
Almost up there with Corbin's Soni and Chompers who are getting married soon!I love both couples! sweet!👍🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️🐊🐊🐊
I love Big Mac!!!! HEY Bella!!! :)
Awesome vlog Chris thank you!!!! Akila was a bit feisty today she definitely looks bigger on this end. Big Mac is just too cool he eats so nice and seems so gentle and I love that Bella's learning from him and that she's starting to get it & they are so cute together I can't stand it. And Tadpole is just to cute too!!! love them all and Daisy sits so good for her food and Petunia's doing pretty Julie is a hotmess but she tries lol Nice find on the turtle. Your training with Bean is going so well eating on on your arm 2 days in a row great job Chris Petri and Zazu are so good at takin their treats from your hand. It breaks my heart what the foxes have been through and it infuriates me that they are allowed to treat them the way they do on these farms anyway glad to see you had friends over hope you enjoyed your company thank again guys
Thank you!
I'm so looking forward to seeing Bella and Dino eat
I love Akila! She is cute, beautiful, gracious, and a killer! Kudos to you for working with majestic but seriously deadly animals :)
Love all the content but the croc and gator content is Da Bomb!! Just like you two are Da Bombs!! Keep being awesome and making more and more people everyday more conscientious of animal safety and animal rights.
Thanks!
Great video as always! Looks like Big harv has some dirt on his face maybe he helped chici work!😂👍! Thanks alot Chris!!!🐊❤️
Maybe 😂
Huge day for Bellowing Acres!!! Bella, the first alligator of the sanctuary came up and wanted food. Soooooo awesome you guys!! Loved the croc training today. Big Mac is doing so well. I am so amazed at how well all of the alligators and crocs are doing considering these were all wild animals just a couple of months ago.
Loved to see the Prarie Dogs. I could spend all day loving on those guys. Your training with Zazoo and Peetree is really coming along nicely!! I guess I will have to get my Cuawahtis and Asami fixes in on the next one. Thanks for making this a semi long one. I really love the longer videos. Thanks you guys.
omg, Bella is finally starting to come over, that's awesome!
Sure is!
I get so infuriated by agriculture !!! I just have never understood how anyone could possibly want to harm an innocent animal. I have loved animals my entire life and I have rescued and fostered cats and kittens when I was able. I love Bellowing Acres. ❤
❤️
What I notice is that Aquila's behavior has changed. She is sleeker & is pushing more towards you. She seems to be definitely more aggressive than the gators. ❤💖🥰💯🐊
Big Mac "This is fricken awesome. I open my mouth and food flys into it."
Bella "I'd rather eat you..." Progress!
Big Mac really doesn't care what you call him as long as there's food. He'll be Bella, or Dino or even just Gator, he don't care.
The cutest thing in the video was the pair of you turning goey (with good reason).
Tadpole is adorable. And lucky.
Are you still giving her the smaller whole prey? I think you're onto something re. MBD and I suspect giving her bugs and small fish and maybe rodents, etc, might make a big difference in her development.
I love frontal rain like that, where it comes in as a big bank. We'll have it happen where the clouds are so thick it looks black under them.
Poppy wouldn't climb you if you'd give him enough pats. JK, that's not a thing. 😂
Big Mac loves the baby croc chow because he's the sweetest little baby...who happens to be over 10 feet long 😂💚🐊
The foxes look so good. You have done a great job with them. All of them are my favorites!
They are all so beautiful!!❤❤
These gator videos are so great. ❤
I don't know you guys Akila is a tough one for me, she looks unpredictable to me be careful pls. Out of all your gators BIG MAC is my favorite and that is saying a lot because I really don't like gators or snakes. I have had a little change of heart since watching your channel. My daughter has a ball python and now I can touch her tail as long as she is not looking at me. LOL love your channel.
yay another blog.....I literally chomp at the bit waiting to see these ❤❤❤
Wow.. look at Big Mac go.. that awesome comparative to what he was doing
Just want to say Chris (and Gabby) that in the time I've been following you, you both have given me an appreciation for gators/crocs/caimans I never knew I had. I never really knew just how intelligent & amazing these animals are. All the best to you both and ofc all the animals
indeed! Your words are so right
Yes, you are so right!
Maaaan. Big mac's osteoderms are soooo cool. Super sharp and pointing looking around the neck/back of head when he is lower in the water. He is such a gorgeous boy. ❤
Big Mac is SO cute holding his mouth open for you
Akila listens to your voice and obeys😂
Awww.❤ Akila,the broom-trasher has forgiven you🥰😂 Bella and Big Mac are adorable...I hope Dino will be there one day too
I don’t think Dino and Big Mac will ever be in the same enclosure since alligators can be territorial and they are both very large gators.
@@KatyAnn623 What i meant was: I hope Dino will be doing so good one day
Great break through with Bella they make the cutest couple ❤. Hope you enjoyed your evening 🥰
Love It! Great job Chris!
Thanks so much!
I can't help but think Akila is sooo cute. She makes me Smile 😊😊😊💋💋💋
good small gator is doing well😊
I thought she looked bigger too!!🐊
Daisy is a doll❤. Best piggy manners I've seen 🐖🐷
Next time you guys do a water change measure and paint some lines on the ground so you can use them to measure her without having to actually put hands on…just an idea…love your videos!!
I thought Akila looked bigger the minute I saw her as well 😮
Wow I spoke to soon way to go Bella
😂 Akila and big Mac chicken, big Mac just opens his mouth for any food even baby croc chow. Akila what the hell is that 😂, Bella pops up gets one chicken and then try to give her coco pops 😂 after her big moment of finally making her way for food. 😂 has no idea about the little coco pops. 😂😂 then tadpoles chicken almost looks bigger then him/her 😂😂 love the gators and croc videos.
I was thinking the same she looks longer and her face looks bigger.
Thank you for this great video and i love Coco and Puppy 🐊 Greetings from the Netherlands 🐊
Thanks for watching!
Good evening Chris and gabby, has akila stolen any more brooms lately lol? Akila is feisty and gorgeous I love her so much and the rest of the gang. Your guys vlogs always brightens my day. Akila looks like she has grown a bit. I hope you both have an awesome day
Oh it was so good to see Bella up and acting less afraid. Big Mac and s a good influence for her. It is so darling.
It is so wonderful to watch the trust developing between you and the croc/gators!! So very awesome!
Seeing Akila moving is the perfect explaination oh why crocks are more Dangerous than gators..
Please show Comet in the next video that big turkey is so cute !! ❤️
So cool Bella picked up on Big Mac eating. Peer pressure works lol. Go Bella!
❤❤❤ Best vlog!!
Love this video. ❤💯
Chris never backed up his position
🤔😎 I've been coming by and sneaking the crocodile some hot dogs and hamburgers for the 4 of July.😎😉 Happy Independence Day!❤❤❤
😂
G'day Crazy!
I learned about the “ag-gag” law through Peta a few years ago. It is horrifying. The agricultural industry is a literal hell on earth for animals. I’ve read a few things and watched a few documentaries on it. It makes your skin crawl.
I have also thought akila has been looking bigger!
Love the long vlogs that you do 😊 and i'm learning sooo much ❤ Love from Sweden
We did try the phone but it wasn’t accurate
I am adding this here because it's the most recent video. I'm a relatively new fan, and I thought to ask "where's Casper," but that's because I started with the Casper videos, so even though you moved a year ago, my introduction to you was all Casper content, and even when I finally realized you moved, I still wondered "where's Casper" because I didn't yet realize he isn't your animal. So, Chris, I think you are right to give some people the benefit of the doubt that they simply don't know. Just because someone is a loyal follower of content doesn't mean they read the comments either. Just saying! Keep up the incredible work, and congrats on making your dreams come true! 💛
Casper is the Everglades outpost
@@RHope2512 Thank you. I know that now after catching up on the videos. I was just pointing out that even though I know it might be annoying, Chris is right to give some people the benefit of the doubt because newer viewers might not know and don't necessarily read the comments.
You could paint some hash marks or stick on some tiles at like 1 foot intervals in the ponds to passively measure the crocodilians. So cool what you're doing!
That's a great idea!
Could you post the audio as a podcast? I often listen while cleaning/cooking. Its great ASMR 😂 I'm not sure if it will benefit you to be on more platforms but just a thought I had. I so love watching what you're all up to. We're all so blessed that you share all these moments with us. Thank you 🙏🐊
Akila looks like the perfect ambush hunter, and she looks like she'd like to ambush you! She sure is beautiful! She does look longer and also well defined! Great video!❤🐊 I want to add a question, do they taste or just eat? Love Big Mac! Good to see Bella interested!❤❤
❤❤❤
Big rock: will work for food
Bella: tf is this crock 💩?
😂
Next time you drain her enclosure spray-paint a line ever foot and dash for every half foot ( like a tape measure) on the cement - going down the incline. That way you'll get a good idea of her length when she is up near the ledge.
Did Akila put on some weight. ...❤❤
I was wondering how Tadpole was doing. Good to see him/her eating. Glad Bella and Big Mac are starting to feel more comfortable it's a credit to you both. Did anything happen with the gator with a pitchfork sticking out of it?
Gabby and Chris, can you maybe take some of the baby croc chow and mix it with a binder of some kind to make bigger chunks? Like peanut-butter-croc-chow balls? Or mix them with plain pumpkin or applesauce and freeze the balls? Just trying to think of ways to use up some of the baby chow for the big gators and Akila.
Topenga looks like she said “you sir touched me”
😂
haha big croc go brrrrrr
Can alligators feel Those little mixed "cookies" you throw to tgem when you are doing tours?
Next time you drain the gator and croc ponds draw a series 1 foot lines in the shallow end about 15 to 20 feet long. When you are training the animals have them come lay by the lines then you can measure how long they are without stressing them out
Perhaps you can make measurements with your iPad/phone etc? That tool is pretty accurate on the latest iPad for example
GREED is WILD Chris
Could you paint a line on the cement with foot and inch increments measured out so you could easily see what Akila and all the others measure? Just use a flexible tape measure and some cement stain or paint.
