A three-year-old boy who was seriously injured in a crocodile enclosure at a zoo has undergone five surgeries already and faces a lengthy rehabilitation, his parents said.
The parents said they have been "living at the hospital" and their son faces more surgeries after he was attacked by the reptile at Johnsons of Old Hurst in Cambridgeshire on 18 June.
A fundraising page set up to support the boy's recovery and rehabilitation has now raised more than £25,000.
It will also provide the family with financial help while they support him in hospital.
In an update, his parents said: "We are extremely grateful for everyone's generosity.
"We could never thank you enough for the support you have given our family in this horrible time."
They added: "We have been living at the hospital for two weeks now and our son has undergone five surgeries."
He will have to undergo at least two more surgeries and the last two weeks have been "a very uncertain and unsettling time", his parents added.
The update continued: "His rehabilitation journey is uncertain but we do know that it won't be a short process. The money that has been donated so far has been used to pay for our expenses.
"We are both currently away from work and the time in which this will need to be the case is unknown."
In the statement, the parents added: "The donations have helped ease the pressure of these expenses so we are extremely grateful to everyone.
"Further donations will be used to support our son's rehabilitation and to give back to the hospital who have helped us in many ways during this challenging time. Thank you."
A 30-year-old man from Norfolk was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder when police arrived at the scene.
He was later bailed as officers said he was "assessed as not being fit for interview".
Police said the boy remains in Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge in a "stable condition", having been "injured by a crocodile" after ending up in the enclosure.
The Tropical House where the crocodiles are kept was closed following the incident, but reopened last week.
On Friday the owners of the zoo praised the "incredible speed and determination" of those who helped the boy.

In a social media post, Johnsons of Old Hurst said they were "alerted to reports that a child had allegedly been thrown into one of our crocodile enclosures" on 18 June.
"Everyone who was on site that day acted with incredible speed and determination," the Instagram post said.
"Within minutes of the first radio call, the child had been rescued from the enclosure and was receiving first aid.
"The emergency services arrived very quickly, supported by the MAGPAS Air Ambulance, and we cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, compassion and dedication in such difficult circumstances."
Johnsons of Old Hurst expressed "heartfelt thanks to the visitors who stepped forward to help, including off-duty paramedics and police officers".
They said their "calm and immediate actions made a real difference".
Earlier in the week, the boy's family thanked staff at the zoo who rescued their son.
The zoo's co-owner, Tracey Johnson, reportedly jumped into the enclosure to save their child.
Meanwhile, an investigation has been launched after the medical records of the boy were accessed by around 40 members of hospital staff.
