"Headstart" Turtles Program
We have baby #WoodTurtles growing up behind-the-scenes! 🐢
Every year, as part of our "headstart" program in partnership with @ZooNewEngland, turtle hatchlings/ juveniles are brought to the Aquarium to be cared for in the winter. Here, they are kept out of their usual winter hibernation in order to be fed + grow! This way, they are strong + healthy for a summer release back in the wild, and their growth spurt will give them a better chance of survival in the wild.
