With no shortage of hungry predators and no care from their parents once they\u2019ve hatched, only a few young turtles survive to become adults. When you add human activity to the mix, the rate of survival can be so low that a population becomes unsustainable. Since 2012, we\u2019ve been working to improve those odds. In addition to protecting nests, we collect eggs from vulnerable turtle nests, artificially incubate them and head-start new hatchlings before releasing them back into the wild.\u2060<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-7714eba142aeda1f8b5272a3c372b279 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mruoz8ww-ac47c317743b975178ab5c46e4bc4799'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>We weigh in our western painted turtles from our head starting program at the Greater Vancouver Zoo monthly. This allows us to check their body condition and health closely as well as sort them for size. By identifying each individual turtle to its ID sheet via plastron, or belly, photos we can track each individual turtle throughout their development. Grouping turtles by size ensures we are able to establish they are eating and basking without being overrun by larger conspecifics. In doing our first turtle sort of 2021 we came across a turtle we nearly couldn\u2019t believe.

For our 2020 hatchling that means we would expect our very first group of turtles to reach releasable size by June 2021. This group would be the go getters, the real growth superstars, the rest of the hatchlings would come around to releasable size with about 50-60% being released in 2021, with the rest overwintering another year for release in 2022. So you can imagine our awe when \u201cHogan\u201d one of our 2020 hatchlings released releasable size, a whopping 30.6 grams, right in time for the new year.
