1. Why are grass turtles active at night 1. The light is too strong: The grass turtles are active at night probably because the ambient light around them is too strong. If the breeder keeps turning on the lights, they will think it is daytime and will be active naturally.
2. Comfortable environment: Grass turtles like dark and humid environment. In summer, the temperature is relatively high during the day, so they can't come out for normal activities and can only hide in corners. But the temperature will drop at night, and when the surrounding environment becomes more comfortable, they start to come out and move.
3. Hunger: Grass turtles may not have enough to eat at night. If the breeder feeds them too little food or feeds them too often, they will be hungry. This situation is more common in summer, because the temperature is high in summer, and their metabolism is fast, so they starve faster.
2. How to make grass turtles move during the day1. Normal work and rest: If you want grass turtles to move during the day, you must change their work and rest time. When entering the night, all the lights around should be turned off, so that the turtle will naturally rest at night and move during the day.
2. Keep the environment stable: In summer, when the temperature is high during the day, grass turtles don't like to come out for activities. The breeder can install a sun visor on the container or transfer the container to an air-conditioned room.
3. Ensure adequate food: Grass turtles may be too hungry when they move at night. Breeders should feed them before entering the night. As long as they feed enough food and the environment is comfortable, their work and rest will naturally change.
