suitable habitat in the wild. Beginning with fewer than 20 individuals during that 1st year in 2011, this program has expanded to allow us to release around 200 young each year to bring back painted turtle populations across the Sunshine Coast, Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley.<\/p>\n<p>This year, we released 183 juvenile turtles from the overwintering tanks at the conservation center we share with the Greater Vancouver Zoo. Releasing these turtles to the wild when they are at an age and size to have the best chance of survival will make a significant impact to the survival of the species in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s head-starting program produced 218 hatchlings that will be overwintered for release in 2023, so we can continue to restore wild populations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfx5jbwp-f6cd918fe7c2412f52198318dc2bc265\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfx5jbwp-f6cd918fe7c2412f52198318dc2bc265 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfx5jbwp-f6cd918fe7c2412f52198318dc2bc265 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfx5jbwp-f6cd918fe7c2412f52198318dc2bc265 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-38077 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-38077 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/web-release_o.jpg' alt='' title='web-release_o'  height=\"1196\" width=\"1800\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfx5jrs4-9e8599c7d583fceb6543be2a4f7d6cd2'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Overall, we had a 68% hatch rate, which is slightly above average with previous years hatching success of 50-65%. Head-started turtles are cared for daily with feedings, cleaning and monitoring. Health checks, water quality analysis and other facility management and maintenance is ongoing as turtles are kept active year-round in order to extend the growth period.<\/p>\n<p>Despite our husbandry following word-class conservation protocols, the unpredictability of caring for animals means that challenges always arise. Since the beginning of the program there have been occurrences of what has been colloquially called \u201csoft shell\u201d. A turtle\u2019s shell may appear completely normal at first but over a few months the relatively soft shell of the young hatchlings doesn\u2019t harden as expected, and becomes increasingly soft. In the early years of the program this affected between 5-10% of the hatchlings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfx5k9rx-6ef21acf63b6effab8f45d366c080006\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfx5k9rx-6ef21acf63b6effab8f45d366c080006 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfx5k9rx-6ef21acf63b6effab8f45d366c080006 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfx5k9rx-6ef21acf63b6effab8f45d366c080006 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-38078 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-38078 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/w-eggs.jpg' alt='' title='w-eggs'  height=\"2400\" width=\"1800\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfx5ldud-efe17bea5d79b9bedbb700abd0fd22ce'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The western painted turtles in our headstarting program have a long road ahead of them after they are rescued as eggs from locations where they would have been in danger.

We submitted samples to the provincial government\u2019s Animal Health Center (AHC), which showed that the affected turtle\u2019s had a metabolic condition but did not identify an underlying cause. After exhausting all traditional treatments, we submitted additional samples to the AHC in 2020\/21 requesting further investigation that finally revealed a diagnosis of intestinal cryptosporidiosis. Cryptosporidium encompasses numerous species of microscopic parasites that are very common in the natural environment but can cause disease in many different kinds of animals. These protozoan infections are not well known for reptiles, and there have been very few studies on infections in turtles. We initially didn\u2019t expect it to be cryptosporidiosis as typically this presentation of soft shells is caused by poor lighting and food, which was not our case in our facility.<\/p>\n<p>An initial trial treatment combining two drugs specifically for the treatment of cryptospiridiosis in 40 affected turtles resulted in a 95% recovery rate! A follow-up study that involved both drugs used separately and control untreated groups during the winter of 2021\/2022 found that both treatments worked well but in different ways leading us to plan to continue their use in tandem for our hatchlings this year.<\/p>\n<p>Our results from investigating and discovering a treatment for this parasite masquerading as a metabolic issue will be applicable across a wide range of other turtle conservation programs in Canada and more widely. At the same time this can encourage other conservation breeding programs to think beyond initial diagnoses when what appears to be a novel complex problem may actually be caused by a more common culprit.<\/p>\n<p>In both animal care and human care we are often told in diagnostics that \u201cwhen we hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras\u201d. The odds are, that the most common diagnosis is the probable one. However, sometimes the hoofbeats are actually zebras\u2026especially when you work at a zoo.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-1britlk-5ab6b9bdc4ee87c3cdb301572e23725f main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  blog-inner avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-38072'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-wldwe0-67939aa9b42c44ccd4883446e10b0ad2 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-13  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  author-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfx5mirq-d4086d4ab30c94dde33f1eac2595f6e9'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Andrea Gielens<\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">Lead Biologist \u2013 Fraser Valley Wetlands Recovery Program<\/h5>\n<p>Andrea manages WPC\u2019s captive breeding and release programs for the Oregon spotted frog and the coastal western painted turtle.
