Where captive bred animals are acquired, care should will be taken on the origin of these animals amongst others rearing method and breeding techniques used.
Transfers of programme animals are always dealt with via the relevant coordinator of that specific breeding programme to make sure they contribute to the overall goals and roles of the respective EEP. Although EAZA works in the spirit that all animals acquired are born in captivity, EAZA recognises that there is a legitimate need for conservation breeding programmes, education programmes or basic biological studies, to obtain animals from the wild.
Where wild caught animals are acquired EAZA Members are encouraged to carry out a thorough analysis, considering amongst other factors the effect their action has on the origin of these animals and the wild population. These acquisitions should aim to build up and maintain healthy, demographically and genetically sustainable, populations in the EAZA regions. All animals leaving the collection should go to appropriate facilities with professional standards as skilled staff who are capable of maintaining an appropriate standard of husbandry and welfare.
When transporting animals EAZA Members operate conform to the international standards and national and international regulations applying to the particular species.
By completing transfers, themselves or via specialist and well recommended companies EAZA Members ensure an appropriate standard of welfare of the animals is guaranteed during transport. The guidelines displayed below show best practice standards, which EAZA zoos aim at achieving. They have been compiled using a template and made user-friendly to facilitate reading and the finding of necessary information.
The guidelines are of particular interest when building new enclosures, when deciding upon the nutrition of animals or when seeking information on the biology of the species.
EAZA members strive to house animals adequately to their needs and to give advice where needed to help further animal welfare. Typhlonectid caecilians incl.
