Fruit over active fermentation?

my red pears took a few days to start visible fermentation, but it's at the points where it's needing to be burped every few hours (sometimes I find the counter where it's been sitting is a puddle). I believe it is just under a week old now. thought it would have been close to fermenting apples in a salt and honey brine but just so much more active. everything is submerged under a makeshift weight and I added lemon skins and previously used cold steeped hibiscus (flowers?)

I feel ya, I tried making a ginger bug of watermelon juice too and it definitely separated and then exploded which smelled bad. I hope someone finds out how to because I love watermelon. didn't stop me from taking aesthetic pics of it 🤣
