How do grass turtles bite each other and how to deal with them after biting

Replace containers: Grass turtles are gentle. If they bite each other, it may be because the living space is too small. Grass turtles have a strong sense of territory, and if they lack space, they will compete for territory. The breeder needs to replace them with a large container. Separate feeding: It is also possible that grass turtles are irritable after estrus, so it is best for breeders to keep them separately and put them together after estrus.

1. What should grass turtles do if they bite each other

1. Change containers: grass turtles are docile in character, and there is no conflict under normal feeding. They will fight only when the feeding space is small. Because turtles have a strong sense of territory, if the containers for raising them are too small, they will fight for territory. Or if there is not enough food, they will bite each other. Breeders need to replace large containers. If conditions permit, they can be prepared with two containers and raised separately. When feeding, make sure there is enough food.

2. Separate feeding: It is also possible that grass turtles bite each other in estrus, especially male turtles after estrus, and the situation of biting each other is the most. Breeders can put in female turtles or keep two male turtles separately.

2. How to deal with the bite of grass turtles

If the bite of grass turtles is not serious, the breeder only needs to put them on land for a period of dry cultivation, let their wounds scab and then put them into water. Before the wound recovers, the breeder needs to change the water regularly to ensure that the water quality is clean.

If the grass turtle is seriously bitten, the breeder needs to apply iodophor or erythromycin to the affected area, and put them on land for dry cultivation to avoid wound infection. If it doesn't affect eating, you can also add some anti-inflammatory drugs to your food to speed up their recovery.
