As always, this daily vlog brings me so much happiness. I love all the animals but I do have my favorites. Besides the gators, Osami, Little Dude and the Prarie Dogs are my favorites. I love Jelly Bean and Olof. I also love the turtles like Jumanji and Yortis. Ah heck I love em all. If I could volunteer my time with you guys it would be a dream come true. I love your mission and how well you care for these animals who deserve the best. Thank you! ❤
i just adore seeing the personality of each animal that lives in your sanctuary, now that they can live and flourish comfortably, its so interesting to be able to see how other behave with their varying brains and upbringings. i think a lot about how similar and different we are to each other, in such beautiful ways :3
Love the Q&A! The one thing that i have taken from watching your content is DO NOT have exotic animals as pets. I appreciate you showing their cuteness and intelligence on this channel, and I will continue to learn and love them from the comfort of my couch and phone! 😂
When you were naming off the different types of animals you have at the sanctuary I was thinking of the 12 Days of Christmas song. 8 Alligators, 7 little pigs, 6 parakeets,(I needed a 6), 5 Crocodiles, 4 Prairie dogs, 3 pretty goats, 2 Patagonian Maras and a Toucan with a blueberry. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.💜💚🥰💙
Salties are incredible, talking from experience. I have two friends who have cared for different salties in different places for decades, but both are the same. Super well behaved and responsive, they would just come up and sit with my friend on their own accord every time they entered the enclosure, to the point where people didn't believe it until they saw it. You share the passion and compassion for all these animals, just like my friends. I would love to see you give a salty a happy home. One day I'll get you that 50 grand donation!
Merry Christmas! Thank you Chris and Gabby for all you do. I would love to see more footage of the finches sometime. Their aviary is so beautiful and they are so peaceful to watch.
Great vlog guys Thank you.....I enjoy all your videos the long format the Q & A's the vlogs I watch them all start to finish I've learned so much watching your videos your a great teacher. I'll continue to watch no matter what. All the animals look happy and healthy Merry Christmas Chris and Gabby and everyone at Bellowing Acres have a nice night guys. We appreciate you and all you do!!!!
Always a pleasure Chris and Gabby! Thanks for all your insight!! The Crocodilians are awesome, the Prarie Dogs are precious, and I really love visiting with your various turtles and tortoises! Thanks..
❄️Happy Holidays, ☃️Chris and Gabby! 🎊 I have so much admiration for you! Thank you for educating the public and keeping the love of nature honest. 💕🐊🦊🦉🦜🐢🐕🐖🐐🐍🐸🐓🦃💕
Could we see a day in the life of Gabby organizing and planning the diets? Im totally intrigued how you plan/ lists you make for everyone’s diets. Im an obsessive list maker and would love to see your magic!!
My personal favorite are all of the birds. I found your channel when you did a colab with BirdTricks. I've learned a lot about alligators and the other animals from you, but I came and remain for the birds.
I Love Love Jumanji-all turtles are Cool, the Mara, red Foxes Especially Hazel and, the skunk Asami!!! But I really love the emu too and the doggo's!!!!!!
Chris, I love your shirt. I hope you and Gabby have a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for everything you do for these precious animals. I hope 2025 brings many blessings. God bless you both. Holiday hugs from Tennessee. 💕✝️🎄🎅
You two are so Awesome for all the wonderful things u do for all your Animals. You two have so much patience, I could never do what you too do. Thanks for all your help with the animals and Reptiles ❤
A very Merry Christmas to you and all the animals in the sanctuary. Thank you for all the vlogs. I've met animals I've never heard of, [Coati, Mara....], I've learned a lot about all the animals, and most impacting, was what I learned about alligators and crocodiles. Never thought it possible to find an alligator to be cute...but here I am.😂 Thanks Chris and Gabby for all your diligent, hard work, and your love for all these wonderful animals!🧡🙏

Thank you for sharing all that information ....your inventory I know it will take a while to count how Many animals you have in your Vlog Sanctuary that's awesome ❤❤ also Gabby is doing awesome work with the asking questions!!
Yeah it would be nice if some local businesses would do an enclosure for a write off, I can't wait to see the new Crocs get big ponds! Especially Angelus ;)
If I had to choose a favorite animal from all of the beauty that you show it would be the fennec foxes. I have had my life graced over the years by two separate Chihuahua terms that they chose me. And I see Chihuahua in those two little foxes. The speed! The guarding and grabbing of the food, and of course, the big ears a question for Gabby by a statement, your nails are impressive! I break my nails just trying to make my bed with the big mattress. Or when I’m sewing. And you go into the turtle enclosure digging around in the straw counting them and who knows what else you do. Your work is very important. And the bowls that you Prepare for these animals could be in the pages of Martha Stewart living. They look like well. This is how they look: “hand me a fork!” Happy holidays to you and all of the animals
The emus are pretty great too, such funny floofy dinos. But yes, the praerie dogs, specifically Poppy, are pretty great, like the swamp doggos, but praerie doggos. Good luck trynna convince the small and tiny dinos to be "nice birbs", I've been trying for years and my hands still have fresh scars on them, all from when he was asking for uppies from the floor.
So much love to you both ❤❤if you have timee and you can would be able to do talk about the training progress of the foxes they look so much calmer than before🥺
I watch on UA-cam a exotic animal auction yesterday in one part of America. They had a one year-old porcupine for auction the same as you have in your sanctuary. I couldn’t believe it.
Those happen quite a bit. Some of the auctions are themselves illegal and others include illegal animals. Unless I was trying to save an animal I would never buy from one whether were selling domestic or exotic creatures. They exist only to make money for reeders and sellers. It’s horrible. They also happen in many other countries.
Merry Christmas! Amy is making some real attempts to get over to the bigger pigs recently. I don't think they'll accept her into their little ASMR pig circle. 👀
I wonder if Amy can see the other pigs getting their treats and decides to get her share. That must mean she is nearly ready for training. Julie is probably thinking, I have to share with these two, I am not sharing with you as well!
Have you thought about setting up a fodder racking system to grow fresh fodder for all your grazing species, even a 10 tray system is perfect as it’s a 8-10 day growing cycle, it’s great for nutrition and enrichment for animals such as the pigs, goats, Sulcatas , even the birds love fresh greens⁉️💯👍❤
Chris and Gabby. I watch all your videos. Can’t remember if this has been asked. Can a venomous snake bite an alligator or croc and if so, what happens? ❤❤❤
I’m pretty new to the channel.. I seen your other channel, have you done anything on gabby.. I know most the channels is about you.. like how did she get into liking gators and everything
lol, def not the gators and crocs.. My fave is the foxes, all of them. I was so worried y'all would follow through on the threat to stop showing Jet cus people wouldn't stop asking y'all about buying him a companion. Glad he has a companion now. Was disappointed that the red foxes aren't getting along anymore... no more play dates.Julie is so mean- to her fellow pen mates and Amy.
I know Aimee is not supposed to be with a big pigs, but have you thought about trying to hand feed her when she’s with them so that the other pics could model for her and then she could model for the rest of the little pigs.
Why don't you contact the company that makes the shoes 'Crocs' and offer them an opportunity to have a huge fixed backdrop attatched to the fence in Akilas enclosure as advertising? Surely that would be brilliant for both Bellowing Acres and Crocs as a brand..... Maybe they'd eventually use Akila in a tv advertisement for a fee too... Thank me later Big Chris and Lil Gabs 😂 ❤ Merry Christmas x
@filipdahlberg4420 I agree.... They call them crocs but they're basically plastic orthopaedic shoes with holes drilled in them... I'd rather feed myself to a croc than wear those hideous trotters
Glad you are not breeding. I would not support you if you were. Breeding, BREEDS suffering. There are some very abusive even wildlife rehabs. Tiger kind guy was a sicko as is anyone who is breeding the tigers, molnkeys etc to live in cages and be in roadside zoos. Often HUGE neglect and abuse!!!
Hey Gabby and Chris, I love Asami, the chunk skunk. Was her anal glands removed which is what causes their fowl smelling spray? Or can she still spray something if stressed or threatened? And I have watched many videos, but I never heard you mention it about Asami. I wish you can share more info on her. Thanks.
I love how excited Schippo gets for his food these days. He was so sad and scared when he first arrived, now he's enjoying life.
All of the foxes have come a long way. It's nice seeing them so happy and running around in that wonderful enclosure!
He’s doing great and certainly loves meal time 😂
I nominate Gatorade to sponsor the gator aid enclosures!! I mean, how perfect that match-up is😃
Gabby is so cute wanting to rescue those cat's she has heart, You guys both do great work i love it aw

Listing off the animals in the sanctuary… all I could think was you had to end it with ’and a partridge in a pear tree’ x)
😂
i just adore seeing the personality of each animal that lives in your sanctuary, now that they can live and flourish comfortably, its so interesting to be able to see how other behave with their varying brains and upbringings. i think a lot about how similar and different we are to each other, in such beautiful ways :3
My favorite animals are Tadpole, the Prairie Dogs, and Asami. Jelly Bean may be a stabbing jabber at times, his purrs give me a smile every time.
"Oh that Chunk Skunk" and "ol Big Harv" gotta love em both. Love you guys and keep up the amazing work both of yall.

Yep, you nailed it. I'm a sucker for Prarie Dog cuteness! Wishing you, Gabby and all the animals at the sanctuary a very Merry Christmas ! 🎄
Merry Christmas! Thank you Chris and Gabby for all you do. I would love to see more footage of the finches sometime. Their aviary is so beautiful and they are so peaceful to watch.
Big Mac and Bela look so cool just floating and relaxing in that beautiful clear water. They have just become your family. ❤
They really do enjoy their pond!

Poppy is just adorable. Big pig Julie's chewing noises make me laugh every time. Her mouth is open for more while still chewing 😂😂❤
❄️Happy Holidays, ☃️Chris and Gabby! 🎊 I have so much admiration for you! Thank you for educating the public and keeping the love of nature honest. 💕🐊🦊🦉🦜🐢🐕🐖🐐🐍🐸🐓🦃💕

It would be super interesting!
Gabby has such a golden heart to want to help the homeless kittens 🥰
I look forward to seeing Poppy being Poppy. He is so funny!
And Amy wanting to with the big pigs!

"a lot of them suck to--"
"BABE!" - immediately cut off, i spent 5min laughing at that xDDDDD
😂
I've said it before, and i will say it again. Julie is a beast. When it comes to all the animals, I love them all.💙🩵
Merry Christmas to Bellowing Acres!

Merry Christmas Chris, gabby, bellowing acres and everyone who celebrates
I think the emus are hilarious when they're chasing each other around.
Thank you for sharing all that information ....your inventory I know it will take a while to count how Many animals you have in your Vlog Sanctuary that's awesome ❤❤ also Gabby is doing awesome work with the asking questions!!
I binged on all your videos and I rewatch them all the time, especially the one about what to do when you get attacked by a swamp puppy 😂
The maras look so tiny next to you! 😂 And the coatis eating Cheerios like every single little kid ever is so endearing 💚
Yeah it would be nice if some local businesses would do an enclosure for a write off, I can't wait to see the new Crocs get big ponds! Especially Angelus ;)
Merry Christmas to you and 200+ animals 🎅🎄

Little dude is my favorite
My No. 1 favorite BA resident/s is/are whoever's on screen... No. 2 is whover's making the most noise off screen!
😂
I feel bad for all the Tigers, Tiger King really showcased what a massive problem there is with Tiger Mills in the US 🐅💔
i love that the big pigs hop a bit to get your attention like "LOOK im sitting! im sitting! food now please!" T o T
The emus are pretty great too, such funny floofy dinos. But yes, the praerie dogs, specifically Poppy, are pretty great, like the swamp doggos, but praerie doggos.
Good luck trynna convince the small and tiny dinos to be "nice birbs", I've been trying for years and my hands still have fresh scars on them, all from when he was asking for uppies from the floor.
Fav animals are Crocs/Gators, prairie dogs and the cute owl
Really enjoy these. I learn so much
the foxes are my absolute favourite
I love animal So much Volunteered At a zoo, worked with three hundred plus pot belly pigs
❤❤❤
Keep on sending videos 🐊 your youtube videos are the best on youtube 👍 Merry Christmas 🧑🎄🐊🧑🎄🐊 Greetings from the Netherlands 🐊
Gabby at 6:18 🤣🤣🤣
I said it the other day Merry Christmas to you both, great job everyday ;)
I think my favorite animal is Julie...love that big pig.
She’s a big sweetheart
All animals are my favorite
Merry Xmas eve from Sweden :)
So much love to you both ❤❤if you have timee and you can would be able to do talk about the training progress of the foxes they look so much calmer than before🥺
I didn't realize yours weren't saltwater or the ones at gatorland as they are SO big! Interesting! I thought they could deal with both kinds of water.
I watch on UA-cam a exotic animal auction yesterday in one part of America. They had a one year-old porcupine for auction the same as you have in your sanctuary. I couldn’t believe it.

Merry Christmas! Amy is making some real attempts to get over to the bigger pigs recently. I don't think they'll accept her into their little ASMR pig circle. 👀
She does like the big pigs! But they don’t like her lol
I wonder if Amy can see the other pigs getting their treats and decides to get her share.
That must mean she is nearly ready for training.
Julie is probably thinking, I have to share with these two, I am not sharing with you as well!
We have lots of prairie dogs here in tucson , arizona
I only discovered your channels about two weeks ago, but now I am an avid daily fan.
Have you mentioned the history of your necklace(s)?

What is that ball? ❤️
Erry Christmas guys. Here’s to a great 2025.
As a fellow cat owner/ lover I have been wondering how yours is doing.
Chris and Gabby. I watch all your videos. Can’t remember if this has been asked. Can a venomous snake bite an alligator or croc and if so, what happens? ❤❤❤
I know this is probably a stupid question. But the skunk doesn't feel threatened, therefore doesn't spray or some other reason? Just curious.
Alvin and the chip munks
I’m pretty new to the channel.. I seen your other channel, have you done anything on gabby.. I know most the channels is about you.. like how did she get into liking gators and everything
Can little dude see in the dark or does he go by other senses?
lol, def not the gators and crocs.. My fave is the foxes, all of them. I was so worried y'all would follow through on the threat to stop showing Jet cus people wouldn't stop asking y'all about buying him a companion. Glad he has a companion now.

What happened to that Turkey you had? Did he end up like Bubbles the Duck?
Died of old age I think

Ye…but who wants to be sponsored by those atrocities x)
@filipdahlberg4420
I agree....
They call them crocs but they're basically plastic orthopaedic shoes with holes drilled in them...
I'd rather feed myself to a croc than wear those hideous trotters

Why don’t you swim with the crocodiles?
Because they would bite your head off.
