Most likely scenario. Poor thing, must be very confused. And not used to fending for itself, what to eat? Try this, try that, try a dog, try a human. This is how problems develop, the gator could end up paying with its life and all due to some jerk who 1. probably shouldn't have had it as a pet to start with and 2. didn't rehome it properly.

I hope they can trap and move it safely.
