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 at our conservation lab located at the Greater Vancouver Zoo, before releasing them back into the wild.\u2060<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-ogiz4l-4ef34b78f65ac1bb9e09f738f3e79047 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  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-51289'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-826groa-4582a1c4fc4b9de7fa96718d9745478c av_one_full  avia-builder-el-8  el_before_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mglacz64-b02b9954bf4d8b00c3f1d15153a71312'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>With chilly temperatures hitting British Columbia this week and parts of Ontario already seeing snow, you might be wondering <strong>where our western painted turtles have gone for the winter<\/strong>! The answer is: they&#8217;re slowing things down.<\/p>\n<p>In northern climates when the weather starts to get cold, western painted turtles enter a dormant state called brumation &#8211; basically the reptile equivalent of hibernation. Turtles are ectotherms, meaning they don&#8217;t produce their own body heat, so their body temperature matches the environment they are in. <strong>Brumation is a physiological response to colder weather<\/strong> and shorter days that allows the turtles to lower their energy needs so they can survive until the warm weather returns. While dormant, turtles lower their metabolism &#8211; requiring much less oxygen than normal and are able to survive on the limited oxygen they can absorb through their skin and the membranes in their throats and cloacas (turtle butt).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-7su501m-0d44f4b1b3359914ed7fa48a6e36aee6 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-73jxiey-ecf3dfbf84d49ddbc0f26fb221c88be9\">\n.avia-image-container.av-73jxiey-ecf3dfbf84d49ddbc0f26fb221c88be9 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-73jxiey-ecf3dfbf84d49ddbc0f26fb221c88be9 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-73jxiey-ecf3dfbf84d49ddbc0f26fb221c88be9 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-11  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first'   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-51294 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-51294 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/TurtleinConservationCorner_JKissel.jpg' alt='' title='TurtleinConservationCorner_JKissel'  height=\"738\" width=\"1019\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-6htfi1m-d460a92a83a1f964af06da746237f2ce\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-6htfi1m-d460a92a83a1f964af06da746237f2ce{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-6htfi1m-d460a92a83a1f964af06da746237f2ce hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-6d7hzqy-b9a149fe4bfba2fd09cec2a548d37cf8'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div><em>A western painted turtle in WPC&#8217;s Conservation Corner at the Greater Vancouver Zoo<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Here in our turtle lab at the Greater Vancouver Zoo, they have a slightly different set up. While our western painted turtle program focuses on head-starting and releasing young turtles each year, <strong>we currently have a dozen adult painted turtles in our care<\/strong> &#8211; including Tutu! These adult turtles were brought to us either as confiscated pets or injured turtles that need somewhere to recuperate until they&#8217;re ready to be release again. To allow these turtles to experience the natural cycle of brumation while in our care, we encourage them to prepare for brumation by lowering their food intake and keeping them outside until the weather becomes consistently cool overnight. Then, we offer them a small bin filled with coco coir (made from fibres from coconut husk) to bury themselves in, and then place them in the fridge (we use this material because it has antifungal properties and is not harmful if ingested)!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-53yhvh6-b8ded314defe3f1ca687908d0bb6373d av_one_full  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-hhipbu-80711d6bca05f79aecd8d581fb01aa64\">\n.avia-image-container.av-hhipbu-80711d6bca05f79aecd8d581fb01aa64 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-hhipbu-80711d6bca05f79aecd8d581fb01aa64 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-hhipbu-80711d6bca05f79aecd8d581fb01aa64 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-17  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first'   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-51295 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-51295 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/TurtleTubsCocoCoir_JKissel.jpg' alt='' title='TurtleTubsCocoCoir_JKissel'  height=\"738\" width=\"1019\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-47xbdve-140b7902d64ad69953f3431aaf5b10c6\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-47xbdve-140b7902d64ad69953f3431aaf5b10c6{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-47xbdve-140b7902d64ad69953f3431aaf5b10c6 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-dixdy2-29a53c2128d75c464d73e2ab898579ab'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div><em>(Left) The turtles are placed in individual bins filled with coco coir to burrow into.
