1. Do Chinese grass turtles bite? Chinese grass turtles generally don't bite, because they are gentle and timid, and they will retract into their shells after encountering loud sounds or being frightened, so they won't take the initiative to attack their own kind or owners. If they bite, it may be caused by lack of food. Because they may have taken their owner's hand or other parts as food, they will bite them.
If breeders want to avoid the bite of grass turtles, they must ensure that they have enough food. Usually, food should be fed according to their appetite, and they should not be too hungry. In addition, if there are children at home, a lid can be added above the container to avoid accidental injury.
2. What should I do if the Chinese grass turtle bites?If the breeder is bitten by the grass turtle, don't pull hard, which will not only hurt himself, but also hurt the grass turtle. Breeders can let them loose by knocking on their carapace and poking their eyes.
Grass turtles don't bite aggressively. They may be hungry or trying to show closeness. If the turtles have ever bitten, the breeder should install a cover on the container to prevent them from biting again. In addition, we should ensure that there is enough food with them to avoid their hunger.
