Turtle updates

The hatchlings are doing great. They all started eating and went right to shrimp. No picky eaters in this group. It amazing how much they eat.

We got the new hatchlings for our Head Start program. 15 from MATES and 4 hatched from eggs on GBB where the mother ran off before they were covered and protected. These are the MATES ones. Very unique patterns.

Have you ever seen a Terrapin hatch? Well we got to see a few of the eggs hatch today over at MATES. It was the most amazing experience. 

Educational Presentation

For all our friends in the Little Egg area there is a terrapin presentation at the LEH branch of ocean county library on Mathistown road LEH. Tomorrow at 10:30 4 and up. Great for all ages. Hope to see you there.

Release day! Sad and joyous at the same time. Hope our little terrapins make out ok.

Sad days on patrol

Too many Juveniles and Hatchlings are not becoming road fatalities. Its very sad when your counts for the day are more dead than alive. 

Catching shrimp to feed the terrapins.
