MOSCOW, March 19 – RIA Novosti. The radiant tortoise was first born in the terrarium of the Moscow Zoo, the rarest species is on the verge of extinction, according to the website of the capital’s mayor. “The Radiant Tortoise was first born in the terrarium of the Moscow Zoo. This rarest species is on the verge of extinction. Zoo workers found the tortoise in the incubator during a scheduled daily examination of eggs. She came out of her shell on her own, without the help of zoologists and veterinarians,” the report said. . It should be noted that at birth the cub weighed 29 grams, and the length of its shell was five centimeters. Now the turtle’s weight has increased to 50 grams. The sex of a small reptile can only be determined after a few years. It is added that most of the day the turtle is actively moving, for this it has all the conditions – a warm, well-lit terrarium with shelters, clean water and loose soil in which it can dig. In addition, the little one began to feed a few days after hatching: it is fed several types of lettuce, sweet fruits, zucchini and pumpkin. As the turtle grows, its diet will change. “The employees of the terrarium carefully monitor the behavior, activity and appetite of the turtle during the day and weigh it weekly. The room is constantly moistened, the water in the drinker and the food are changed. The little one feels good: he eats with appetite , bathes, actively moves and sunbathes”, – says the message. Radiant tortoises are on the brink of extinction due to a reduction in food supply, land suitable for life, as well as poaching and sale as pets. This species is listed in the International Red Book and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
